THE FENDIPPITOUS EGGMEN HAVE FOUND ME.....?

If this is how it really is I'm going to fuck shit up

college was a fucking waste of time, full time student with 3.9 GPA and a bachelors with no work experience so I could focus completely on my studies; I work in a porno shop now

>>220709903

That's because you're an anti-social fucktard who can't sell himself properly.

>>220709903
nice, do you get free merchandise?because that seems awesome

>>220709116
>>220709116
seriously just fucking kill yourself.

>>220709903

who told you to do english history or some other bullshit degree

>>220709903
yeah exactly, work experience will always win over education.

>>220710398
guilty of history major

10 years out - person without a college degree is still just a few steps off the bottom rung.

My youth was far from wasted but the exclusivity I had earned came crashing down when I was falsely accused of a sex crime by a vindictive ex-wife.

I took and passed polygraph after polygraph and psych interview after psych interview but I still lost my security clearance.

Now I'm a fucking zero in that world. That HIGH paying world. Six figures flushed.

I went back to school to learn emergency medicine and became a paramedic. I'm still in school trying for an RN license so I can get a job on a helicopter doing emergency rescue.

Thank God I am intelligent. I would be up shit creek if all I had was my security history.

People who go for Liberal Art are the biggest retards that walk the face of the earth. Might as well just finish high school and get a job right after, you will probably make the same, if not more, as people with a stupid ass Liberal Arts degree.

>>220710403
not always. i dont want some kid who doesnt know shit about anatomy do be doing surgery on me, do i? but at the same time, you dont need a degree to go into, like, business

>>220710717
did you have some kind of government job where you needed that security clearance?

>>220711053

Something to be said for knowledge for knowledge's sake. Anyone hoping that women's studies will help them in corporate america is nuts though.

>>220711538
Yes. I thought that was obvious. My failure to elaborate.

in most degrees besides science related ones, a college degree is mostly about the respect that comes with it than anything else, because everyone assumes that if you didnt go to college that youre a dumbass

i assumed that it was like that, but then you said your "security history", so then i wasnt exactly sure. DoD worker?

>>220711916
Exactly correct. Unless you go for a degree in a trade / profession, your degree means you're not a dolt and are at least qualified to be considered.

The way things are going nowadays, you need to be in school for 6 years and then do some shit-paying job for a another year or two before you can start actually working as what you set out to do in the first place... So 8 years in and you're still eating shit. Hopefully after that you actually get payed properly and can practice what you studied.

>>220711916

True, a lot of jobs require "a degree." Why waste your time hiring someone who can't even make it through a few years at a state school?

I agree.. Most non technical majors are a waste.. you surely wont get a job as an engineer without college.. You might be called an Engineer.. But your not designing things without a shit ton of knowledge, you probably would not learn on the job..

>>220710403
Lol.

If your line of work requires significant schooling, it's gonna be the people with significant schooling who get the job.

>>220711916
yeah exactly, but still if it's between a 30 year old man who has had 12 years of experience in the field, and a 22 year old man who has a bachelor's degree and no work experience, it's almost inevitable that the 30 year old man is going to get picked for the job.

>>220712863
even then its kinda iffy. even if you go into business with a BA, youd have to get an MBA if you want to do really well.

>>220713151

A bachelors degree today is about the same as a high school diploma in the 70's.. You wont go far without it.. even if it is a waste..

Shit, I was thinking about going into history next year. Should I stay away from a history major? I was planning on going into law, but I'm not sure.

Shit is so frustrating, fuck around for a year or two and you're already 30 by the time you have an actual job. And that's after going on shit paying jobs and studying non stop for at least 6 years.

>>220712693

I was .mil in SOCOM then left to become a government security contractor. That paid well but my management skills got me promoted and that pay was excellent.

I lost it all due to utter nonsense.

If she had half a brain she would have simply divorced me and sought child support. She thought accusing me of a crime against children would win her full custody and child support to boot.

She's about as sharp as a fucking bowling ball.

>>220713108
exactly. even doctors and lawyers make shit until theyve worked for a few years. for lawyers, they need to gain a reputation so they can bring in more clients, and doctors have to go through even more on the job learning, and dont make shit until theyre attendings, which is at about 28-30 years old.

>>220713853
get a business background then law.. Or engineering or something.. History.. Waste of time.

How does history relate to law.. It doesnt, get something that will augment your legal skills after law school

>>220713853
History is perfect if you want to go into law (my path actually) BUT if you end up being somehow unable to go to a law school here are some of the options for a history degree.

http://www.historians.org/pubs/Free/careers/Index.htm

>>220713514
This is not true and you're an idiot

dead fucking wrong. Lawyers fresh out of good schools go straight to big firms they dont hunt for clients. They pull down 120k+
Google that shit newfag

>>220714284
christ, i dont even know how to say how much that sucks.

>>220715287
okay then mr. expert, tell me why it's not true.

>>220715345

Really, How does it.. Cause you learned what happened in 1768 between two countries.. Really, the only thing I see it helping with is research abilities..

Business or Engineer are important.. If you are a lawyer but have a hard time understanding SOX or the technical aspect of patent law.. Fail.. Granted I am thinking of corporate lawyers not divorce lawyers or DA/SA

>>220714606
Wtf are you talking about? History is all about researching the facts and evidence and coming to a logical conclusive argument. Law schools jump on that shit.

>>220713853
you could study just about anything and get into law school, your degree doesnt matter, just how well you do on the LSAT does

but in case you dont get in, id have some kind of backup where you could still make good money

>>220714329

>for lawyers, they need to gain a reputation so they can bring in more clients

Only if they were absolutely retarded enough to become sole practitioners.

lrn2firm

>>220714329

Doctors don't make shit unless they go into private-practice and specialize in a field that is in high-demand that nobody wants to work in.

Lawyers only make shit AFTER they win some big, well-known cases but good luck trying to do that when the people who are important enough to boost your career only want to higher people who already have a reputation.

>>220715423
120k when your 300k in debt.. I have seen numerous stories of doctors who are in debt until 40-50 years old.. Fuck that shit..

>>220716291
im just talking about what ive seen, i come from a family of lawyers. my father told me he didnt do all that great his first year

>>220716177

Well I'll be damned, intelligence, on /b/.

>>220716361

>hire

fixd myself

>>220716291
lol'd at lrn2firm

my M.S. got me a six-figure salary straight out of school

i didnt complain

>>220716504

>300K in debt

I still owe my friend $120. Assuming I don't pay that off soon, I'll probably still owe that when I graduate law school. Nothing else.

>>220716177

I think engineering will teach you more logic with Calculus 1,2,3 difyq and all you physics classes.. History, sure i can see your point.. I think your Comp Sci and Engineers are better at logic than a history major.. any day of the week

>>220716361
they can make more in private practice, but attendings pull in about 100-150K a year. and going into a fellowship can net you even more. cardiologists working for hospitals make around 300K

>>220716361
are you a fucking retard?
all doctors make more after residency than you ever will

>>220716177
>>220716177

Speaking as a history fail fag, that's your only choice
Take your history BA and go into Law or Business as a graduate program.

If you can make a good Basketball or Tennis coach you can get a job at a school too.

I got a job at a telco company where my history degree doesn't count for shit in my job except they started me at a higher pay rate.

>>220713681
i feel like todays highs chool in the USA is becoming so much shitter that college has to make up for it

>>220715508

I chalk it up to "Life."

Many people have it a hell of a lot worse than I do.

>>220716504
cuz of 8 years of school, then after that you make only about 40K for 4-5 years depending on what you do a residency in.

>>220717346

I am fucking retarded because I haven't gone into private-practice myself.

>>220715423 You say that, but I don't think you actually realize that you are talking about very few people out of a sea of others that think being a lawyer is a good career path... If you actually have the money and smarts to make into one of the school you're talking about - Congratz, I hope it works out, even though you seem like kind of a douche (Assuming you're also smart enough to make through one of those good schools you're talking about). But for most people they'll just end up another suit in endless sea of suits that thought they're going to do something smart.

>>220713681
this man speaks the truth

>>220717203

Ill graduate school, and probably get my MBA and have Zero Debt, Positive Net worth.. And my parents didnt pay a dime of my schooling.

niggers

>>220715423


My cousins husband got a scholarship to Vanderbuilt in TN, and some guy from the TN Titans bought all his shit for school. He got is doctorate in 2 years.

Fucking hard-working genius.

He specialized in Brain Surgery or something like that.
Now he maes 150k a year, is in no debt, and is fucking the hottest relative I have.

An he i a nigger.

fuck.

>>220711053

I chose sociology becuase

1. It's fucking easy
2. All I did my first 3 years of college was smoke weed and party.
3. The only times I went to class was the take the midterms and final and turn in papers.
4. So in the end, I at least have a degree for not doing shit. Its almost like i earned that degree by smoking shitloads of weed.
besides, knowledge for knowledges sake.
the writer and the artist is more important than the businessman and the entrepreneur

my wife

>>220716060
i dont even think he could become a patent attorney unless he got a BS

Yeah bro, you should of skipped collage like me

>>220714284
Rob?

If you want to be an FBI agent, get a degree in accounting.

That's your pearl for this thread.

Inside info.

>>220717954
I could make have of that with no schooling fixing automobiles.. Its just how determined you are..
My boss makes about 160k a year and has a high school diploma..

>>220709076
I'm wasting my youth all out of my own volition, aah I'm going to be such a waster

>>220717972
You remind me of that professor mathematician from Good Will Hunting.

He was a self-righteous faggot.

If artists are so much more important, how come businessman and entrepreneurs get all the pussy and the money?

>>220716060

That's because you never took History. It's about learning to think, analyze, present your case logically, because all you have to do is write essays all the damn time.

Every time you take a case you're basically giving a mixed oral and written essay on why this guy isn't guilty, or why your interpretation of this contract is wrong.

Law is all about that shit.

>>220719106

Art doesn't do shit for me.. Unless its the art of making money.. That.. I am all ears on.

When I finish, my peers won't have shit on me. Halfway done in May.

>>220718779

The point was, HES A NIGGER.

A NIGGER.

>>220718594
you should have at least more than one qualification if youre trying to join the FBI, since every-fucking-one and their dog wants to

so, degree in accounting, get a JD, and know a foreign language, and then youre probably set

>>220718779

How many people making 160K a year have just a high school diploma though?

Maximize your odds, people.

4 years wasted at college getting my criminal justice degree.
I became a cop. Only a high school or GED were required.

>>220719106
because businessmen and entrepreneurs are stupid enough to think money and pussy is all that matters

>>220719924
do you make better money since you have the degree?

>>220719316

I understand that.. I am no legal professional but law school is a possibility in the future.. I have taken business law classes before, and I love it.. i just dont see myself being a pathetic POS divorce attorney.. Wow, making money tearing families apart.. Fuck, I'd rather file asbestos claims and make money than divorce.. maybe M&A law

>>220719401
>>220719106

Its already apparent that you guys are dumbfucks if you can't understand this concept.
what if Adam Smith never wrote The Wealth of Nations?
It's the IDEAS that matter.
have fun farming ya hick.

>>220720048

Fuck! you got me there.. Its all I care about.. Honest truth.. Fucking A

Looks like a lot of lawschool hopeful fags are in here.

Bottom line, they only look at two things:
1. Undergrad GPA
2. LSAT score

If you're still undecided, do a practice LSAT right now. If you find it impossible, law school might not be for you. In that case, don't take a pussy major just for the sake of putting your undergrad GPA on steroids and hoping for law school because it won't happen.

>>220720048
>>220720048

TRUTH.
You guys cant understand that ideas and innovations are things that matter.
all you care about is money for YOURSELF

>>220719552
Trust me.

Also - biology and engineering degrees will get you hired at the EPA CID (criminal investigation division).

But you are correct. If you're a military veteran or have some other specialty in addition to their pre-reqs then you're good to go.

>>220719924
thatll probably give you a better chance at getting promotions over others, though. are you still a uniformed officer?

i'm going back to college because

a) i hate my current career (IT; $100,000/yr)

b) never finished it in the first place.

c) i'm 30

ITT people with shitty ass majors complaining about wasting their time.

waste of time getting a BS in history?! who would have thought it?!!

i landed a job with symantec making 50k a year right out of college.

friend of mine graduated with an english degree and works at dunkin doughnuts

>>220720677

UG Finance.. GPA 3.80 Top 4 percent of my class.. LSAT training by a lawyer If I ask for his help..

>>220720088
Nope. 35k a year w/ benefits.
I just recently passed the Treasury Agent test so in a year or so I'm gunna go out for the DEA or Secret Service. They both require bachelors degrees.

>>220720492
yeah i know
and i also know that you think you're cool cause you only care about money and pussy
enjoy your midlife crisis

>>220719924
And you're a dumbass if you don't move to where the money is.

>>1644278

>>220721252
sucks never getting any, doesn't it?

This thread completly fails, call me at 561-674-4256 and I will tell you why...

>>9615205

>>220720708

I'm comfortable with that idea, but that's what I'm doing for my JOB, in law. Fortunately law is so awesome I can spend my undergrad taking Classics and History which really interest me, and still be just as set to go and write my LSATs.

Fuck divorce work too, don't know where I end up, but it won't be there, or suing doctors for fake malpractice shit.

>>220720836
those degrees could even get you hired at the FBI, too.

and yes, military, intelligence and law enforcement also give you a step above others. so if you really wanted to, you could join a police department that gives quick promotions to detective, like the NYPD (if youre in an investigative department after 18 months its an automatic promotion) which youre working on law school, then join the FBI.

>>220721252
Considering my age, and various other factors.. Its possible to have the midlife crisis.. Maybe divorce.. But WTF.. I wont have to worry about retirement, thats for sure.. Prenup all the way

>>220719924

Don't you get piad a lot more with a degree?
I plan to join LAPD after i graduate and they pay 75 K for those with a bachelors

>>220721523
Every federal agency requires at least 2 years of work experience, that's what this job is, experience.
Plus my first year I got to work in the jails, which was a cool experience.

>but it won't be there, or suing doctors for fake malpractice shit.


I'm heading to medical school in the Fall, can't wait for the day I have to deal with those pieces of shit.

>>220721770
lol my parents are rich and spoil me
and the bitches love money so i get plenty of pussy
i guess i don't care about it because i have so much
you only really care about something when you don't have it

>>220721174
Don't do secret service. You'll land uniform duty with long hours and shit pay. Go for another federal agency like IRS or EPA. They both have police agencies.

you can only become a cop if you have an average IQ.

this is done on purpose. hence hiring jocks with GEDs.

it's a problem

>>220721523
Anon brings up an excellent point. In this shitty economy, i've moved twice in the past 3 years for the sake of work. The work ain't gonna come looking or you, ya lazy bums. Christ!

>>220709903
should have went to a real school

>>220717607
> i feel like todays highs chool in the USA is becoming so much shitter that college has to make up for it
OH REALLY?

>>220722280

Really if you have so much money.. You would be worried about preserving it.. I would never spend money in any way shape or form to get pussy..

Fancyy dates - Nope
Going out on dinners - Nope..
I am a cheap ass, and believe it or now there are women out there who dont mind it. I get plenty of pussy. Im just conservative with my money.. It sits in securities and in the bank

>>220722167
You can, after I graduated I just joined the local city dept. I should have looked at state patrol but I just chose the first, probably most underfunded department in my state (because I'm a fucking idiot)

>>220722167
>>220722167
not anymore. they bumped down probation officers salaries to about 48K with a bachelors degree, so youd get that your first year or two. although i think it sets back to the higher amount after youre probation period is done.

>>220722386
cops ARE retards

I'd rather have an 'ulgy' non whorish, non money hungry partner than a hot piece of whore meat that will stick around only until the money is gone.

Have 2 years left till I finish my studies in 3d gaming and animation...games isn't what I want to do, but you have to start somewhere. I prefer doing movies. Currently not in debt. And have close to enough saved for 2 more years of school. I plan on graduating just after I turn 22. I feel like a degree isn't so much about saying I learned all this shit, as much as it is telling emploers I stuck with it. This diploma is proof that I lasted and am responsible and willing. Those that don't find jobs after college are people I feel don't come about as confident.

I am not a fan of guns but if the constitution says we have a right to have them then I fully support its advocacy.

I may not like what you have to say but I support your right to say it.

I may not like your guns but I support your right to carry them.

I may love the military but I support your right to refuse them quarters.

You get my point.

what's your job?

>>220725654
Joining the Navy is smart if you're joining to learn a trade.

If you're just in it to earn college money then do something exciting. Become an Infantryman or Paratrooper in the Army. Learn how to kill people, parachute out of various aircraft, get into excellent shape - you can even become an Army Ranger. The elite of the Infantry.

If you're going to go back to school, go for something that you cannot teach yourself, and that you'd think you'd be able to learn from classes. Don't go because you want money. You will never be happy.

a security clearance is worth at least $10,000 alone. the DoD is willing to pay roughly $60-80K for IT pros. Then get a cushy job overseas and you're making upwards of $100K without even having moved a muscle.

Federal Law Enforcement Training Academy?
The one in Georgia.

You could use your good grades and academic success to get into a good Grad School and then become a professor. Especially for History, Mathematics, Physics, Philosophy, and all the other profound degrees that the unwashed masses don't value.

>>220727079

yes

29 year old college educated fag here. I make $90k per year, travel, and more or less am responsible for my own schedule. I stay in nice hotels, have a corporate card, routinely end up at fine dining establishments (hence the corporate card), and the roughest part of my day is waking up early enough to catch my next flight. Your degree is most likely worth it. That's not saying you can't get places without one, but I had my first $100k year when I was 27 because of my degree.

>>220727691
American engineers are highly sought after.. However I dropped out of engineering because of all the fucking Indian professors. I could not understand the broken English.. But they were smart

Got Engineering degree.

On a 2yr graduate scheme just now - fucking hopeless.
Because of the 'rotations' we get I never build experience in any department so only scratch the surface of any experience I am getting. It's over in a few months though.

Might apply to be an Air Traffic Controller.... anyone gone down this road?

>>220727046
yes i have thought about that as well.
but im thinking i might as well learn a trade in case i don't makle it as a cop.
I hear you can't even socialize with people that actively do drugs around you (all my friends)

>>220727407
lol alright man whatever you say

>>220727934

whats your degree in?

>>220727361

Fuck that. That's the one thing I DON'T want to do. I hate the state/government. I plan on keeping people out of trouble, not getting them into trouble.

>>220727079
Nah, you'll be fine. I graduated a year ago in finance, and I should have a job pretty soon.

wanted to be a dj, got a girl pregnant. nao what do?

>>220727284
False. Science and engineering majors learn a lot, and can do a lot with a bachelors degree.

>>220727753
Glenco. It's where everyone goes.

I got married and dropped out of college... im living in LA and making bank =)

didn't even finish highschool, have a decent full time job now.

feels good, man

>>220728229
get married in 1 month 3 days

>>220727718
suck my penis faggot
>>220727691
you'll be fine howard

>>220728462
whats in 1mnth 3 days?

Skipped school a lot in year 10, never revised for my GCSE exams. Somehow managed to get into college which I hated. Stuck it out for 3 months before I stopped going. Now at aged 21 I'm stuck in a somewhat dead end job and going back to college in September to redo my maths, English and science GCSE's.

I keep comparing my life to my girlfriends life. She fucked up her GCSE's but redid them and did A levels at age 17. She's the same age as me and a year away from graduating University and majoring in criminology.

I intend to go back to college to do some sort of computer course to become a fully qualified technician after I've redone my GCSE's but I've left it too late for university because if I do end up there I'll graduate at the age of 28 and be £20000 in debt.

On the bright side though I later found out that the tutors on my college course fucked up the marking and voided all the coursework so dropping out of college ended up being inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. I still regret dropping out though.

IM GUNNA BE A VIDEO GAME TESTER MOM :D

>>220727971
cool. I'm hoping to work in the us/europe, and I don't mind drawing doors and wiring patterns into other people's designs if I'm getting decent pay.

my endgame though is to have my own small arch/design firm on the side with the tools and expertise to build whatever I want, and a boutique storefront to sell the non-building creations I come up with.

lol at all the bachelors crying, i have a m.sc. and worked full time during the last four years of my studies. now 26 and making $90k

>>220728457
tell us how good it feels in twenty years

>>220728229
you should have stopped when you >wanted to be a dj

i tried that for about 3 years after i graduated HS before i realized it was a stupid idea.

>>220727998

Are you sure you have an engineering degree?

>>220728893
that would be may 28

Traveling fucking sucks after the initial romance period. The allure dissipate rather quickly when you have to endure all the bullshit hassles of travleing.

Wow.

He was referring to the common infatuation with travelling, you illiterate fuck.

I was always the nerdy type in high school and decided to study physics. I'm on track and doing very well, but always got shit from peers thinking I should switch to engineering, that I'm wasting my time, "ENJOY TEACHING HERP DERP," etc.

I really don't give a fuck. I had a happy youth and apparently I need to go to university, so here I am. It's an interesting subject and I'll be going to graduate school and probably finish by age 28. Depressing to others who apparently want to jump into life and get jobs and get married and all that shit.

I don't care about money. Society and parents tell me to get an education so I am. My parents are basically paying for everything and don't give a shit what my major is, just to get a degree.

I don't really understand the notion that one "needs" to get a particular degree in a field to do something. I'm not going to be a medical doctor, so I can't obviously jump into things like that. I'd love to research interesting things and get paid for it. In the end I'll probably do peoples' taxes or balance their books. Who knows? Who cares?

Sorry sir, but I'm not justifying anything. I like what I'm learning and if you are a btard you certainly have a videogame you like or better yet a movie you like that incorporates 3D. I'm ashamed of nothing. And you call a BS a tangible learning experience. Why follow something that isn't your dream or pursuit in life. Just because it pays well doesn't mean it's fun or worthwhile. I'd also encourage you to look at the mean salary of a 3d animator working full time. If you're too lazy it's over 50k after college. And over 100k after 10 years. No one says it's easy. It's hard work /b/rother, but not all of us want to be doctors or lawyers. And I'm sure plenty of others will agree with me.

>>220727753
i thought it was Federal Law Enforcement Training CENTER.

PROTIP:

Get a 4 year nursing degree then get a Masters in Practitioning.

Automatic six figure income.

Guaran-fucking-teed.

If you want to earn over 100 thousand dollars per year, become a nurse practitioner. You won't need to compete for a job, you'll be highly sought after.

Nope.. Just retirement and death.. Have fun after you make your money

If you plan to do something like engineering, medial, law, science, etc. a degree is practically a necessity.

Its possible to make i without a degree, but it requires a lot of your own personal time, money, and dedication...considering the people on here who think college is a waste, I'd assume you have none of those.

People always point to the success stories--the one or two people who never went to college yet make shitloads. But what about the other 99% of people, who never went to college and done make shit?

To the people who dont plan on going to college--life's gonna be rough for you, at least for a few years. Nobody's going to hand you everything you need in life, youre gonna have to work for it all.

To the people who went to college but thought it was a waste--did you really think going through community college with a shitty GPA would cut it? Going to college doesn't guarantee success, it still takes work. And lets say you did go to a good college, maybe a state school--chances are you took some bullshit major like art history, slid your way through smoking pot the whole time, and expected to get a great job coming out. Obviously, it didnt happen. Now, youre pissed and think college in general is useless.

Basically, life takes work. Get the fuck over it.

i used to cut school daily to chill smoke ect with some of my "friends" i ended up failing alot of classes*(i have been failing at least two classes since the 9th grade before i started cuttin) had to re do haft a year and now going to city due to me not having good grades so now i don't get to go to a paarty school...whats even worst the people who i thought my friends and cut school with and threw away my future with don't even speak to me any more

the secret to success isnt any of the bullshit you learn in the education system or any of this business philosophy that all successful businessmen seem to preach, all of that cliched shit, cos if that worked everyone would be a success, the secret to success is taking the thing that you are best at and nurturing it and nurturing it until you are among the best, forget degrees and shit, what people dont seem to realise is its the knowledge thats important in school not the pieces of paper you get at the end

French Foreign Legion. Just sayin.

Do what makes you happy. Sure you can be a successful person, but in the end everyone dies so it doesn't matter what the fuck you did with your life.

or you could go to college and grow drugs and profit, but whatever haha

going into network engineering & security next year

gonna learn mad hacking shit. i think im gonna do hack jobs for people for money on the side thatd be fun and dangerous

>>220729743
um, it's not even that. there's no viable future in DJing. i would hardly call it a 'career'. there's no money in it, that's for sure. no medical/dental/401K. It's something you do WHILE you're in college to pay the bills. Like bartending.

I went to film school.
and I hated all of the losers there, but I met a lot of genuine people who I still hang out with and work with.

I graduated about 6 months ago so I'm about to start paying it off, but I had a full tuition scholarship so I only owe about 5k.

Anyway, it wasn't the education I got that I'm grateful for as much the access to professional film equipment and the network I gained in proving myself to my peers.

I'm a freelance editor now, and I'm happy to be here.

>>220731875

i do

>>220725654
you should look into the MP or CID divisions then. or join the Air Force, then you can work as a special agent in the OSI, so you get both at the same time. And then after your service is done you can stay in OSI. NCIS might do the same thing, but im not sure

>>220731645
you know what? i think i will
OH WAIT I'M NOT A FUCKING RETARD

majoring in law enforcement and justice administration son

anyways, i know a guy that dropped out of highschool a couple years ago and is making shit tons of money. he has a convertible ford mustang, porsche cayenne and shit like that

It seems the younger generation only thinks about women and money. I just want enough money to pay my bills and have extra money at the end. Who cares what I have to do? It's a bit pointless to study something just for the money, because there are THOUSANDS of more people doing the exact same thing as you and you must compete against them. You simply just don't grab a degree and expect 6 figures. You'll be fighting with everyone else!

1) Decide to get Bachelor's Degree in Business to get ahead in company where I worked for six years.
2) Work 60 hour weeks while going to school full time.
3) Get Bachelor's Degree, make Dean's List.
4) Get fired along with 700+ others anyway.
5) Work at Wal*Mart.

If you think travel is an attraction to a job position, you're either lying or you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Traveling for a job sucks - big time.

It's fun at first, yes. It's different. It's new. That's what's called the romance period.

Retard posers and liars don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

>>220730972

How do you get into something like this? I recently decided the same route. I want to work in film to some capacity but games sounds like an easier area to get into for now. I have looked at several schools like digipen and full sail but they are expensive and my parent saved zip for my education.

I was looking at Cal State universities but I could not find any with anything for aspiring game designers. I was hoping to work with 3D.

Went to University for 5 years for BSc in Neuroscience and Psychology. Learned that education difficulty does not directly translate into the outcoming salary.

Joined the Army 3 years ago. Found High School dropouts making more cash than my peers who had graduated University with me. But I also learned that a big check is not everything to value if you hate your work, bosses, work conditions, etc.

But some people getting trapped in a "swamp" career where they have kids, buy a house, get a wife who runs their bills up, or fools around and divorce them. Where people end up completely unable to quit there job and they become trapped in something they hate for the next 20 years. Then they get thown a gold watch and told to GTFO and they're left with nothing.

Money is never everything.
Pusssy is definately a major career motivator, but that can be easily bought with either cash or cocaine. It's pretty fleeting.

IIT: Failures who just realized semester is almost over and totally have a fail GPA.

>>220735843
>barely affording a house
Because every 22 year old graduate needs a 4 bedroom house.

>a car
Because you need the newest thing to impress women instead of getting from A to B without breaking down

>your internet connection
Ah, USA, where high speed is the exact opposite for a lot of money.

>>220736564

>my parent saved zip for my education.

Do it yourself faggot. Go into debt, take the risk. Make it on your own steam. Stop being a bitch that makes excuses.

>>220735511

No, I'm not kidding. I have an economics and mathematics degree. I once made a lot with those degrees. But, now I teach rich kids how to hover in helicopters. I make $30,000 a year if it's a heavy year and I'm more than happy with my set up.

>>220735989
Well, I think I can see where he is coming from- I worked ten hours a week and made 10k last year- and this is in a low cost of living area (Oklahoma)

So even at the lowest income area, a full-time employee ought to make 55k+ unless he really sucks...

>>220735672
yeah, it's possible. to me, the ends didn't justify the means. you also have to travel ALOT. you travel CONSTANTLY. playing gigs all over the world. which is fun for the first couple of years but it burns you out.

Again, not for me. If i'm traveling so much for work, i'm gonna do it for more than $25K a year, which is what i was making.

>>220736480

but professions are leet:
business, engineering, etc

2nd level like or med are also pro
debts pile, but that's only for a few years. once you make 120k, then you pay for it fast, HOWEVER, it's pointless unless you go to a top school (or close to it) bc of the economy.
