RpgGamer Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 perhaps i was angry that he called my major a waste of time on the phone...of course, he said it more politely than that, but its frustrating when all of my professors tell me to quit working to focus on my studies [to get a degree I personally see as meaningless, as even people with high education have a tough time getting "real" jobs] and then the government practically told me to stop going to school so I would be more available to work.

RpgGamer Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 What's your major, rpg? I'm a psychology major. I told him that and there was like a 5 minute awkward silence and he was like - "There is no demand for jobs of that nature" Like I could do them anyway. I don't even have my BA yet.

Returnofmic Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Today, I actually summoned some goddamn courage, and spoke to this girl I've had my eyes on. She goes to my school, and we met at this bar and talked for quite a while there. Being slightly intoxicated, I can't remember everything she said back then, hence why I'm trying now, for real. But damn it's hard. 138 Combat as of Summer 2010 - Retired Summer 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you may have misinterpreted an objective statement with a snide remark. It's pretty factual that there's very few jobs in the field of psychology, as it's such a specialist one that may be currently saturated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_love_burritos Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 got that eng transfer cake cake cake walk also. furah come down to sydney one time man. we will drink the town dry ON ME. also I reckon every single city should have capsule hotels that are so common in japan (or so I've heard). they'd get excellent business. feeling tired, in a foreign city (while travelling ?) or just completely shitfaced and dont want to go home ? shell out $20 for a good nights sleep in safety. keep your personal effects on you and avoid accidentally killing a hooker at the same time *edit : last time I was at singapore's changi they had something similar to this. sleep for a few hours while waiting for a connecting flight or just catch up on sleep. had showers and massages too. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giordano Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I really question the point of college now. So many degrees are "worthless" or "hard to get a job in", what's the point spending grands on it? Seriously? I also like to hear some GOOD degrees besides engineering and a doctor.

I also like to hear some GOOD degrees besides engineering and a doctor.Teaching in Australia is a big one. Barely anyone wants to do it (secondry/high school) because of how kids are nowdays. The only reason I'm doing it, is to follow my passion for teaching in general and art. Plus it's a guaranteed job, something I try to get through my parent's thick skulls. And the pay ain't bad.

K4ylan Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 And if you want to teach summer school, you get overtime out the ass.

Seeing as schools are slowly getting rid of music and the arts, it's going to be balls hard for me to get a job. That is why I am getting my doctorate in muisc conducting.

Maleficus1055 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Ordered an album and two (free) v-neck shirts.

So since there'd only be 3 of us we've cancelled it :| Guess its another night of TF2 for me I feel like you need to befriend some single people. I've decided to take the moral high ground. I realize I'm going to be taking flak for this comment, but I have about everything I've posted in the past day or so, so idgaf. I'm dropping my unemployment benefits. Yes, it'd be sweet to get paid for nothing [grand total of potential net $2,000] but I'm just a student. Chillin. It would actually be more work to actively look for jobs I don't want, than to just sit around and work an odd job here and there. Plus my "Social Changes" class requires I do 10 hours of community service every week, so I'd kind of rather do that. I'll skip a meal every day, and quit smoking but...eh. Whatever. I'll survive. I can't wait to friggin' graduate. Quote Quote Anyone who likes tacos is incapable of logic. Anyone who likes logic is incapable of tacos.

I know you've all been so eager to see her due to my previous girls always being attractive. Two -- I created a blog. Yes, a blog. About me. Please, just read it. The first entry is up and I'll be trying my hardest to make an entry a day. I consider you all friends, so if you could do that for me, it would be awesome. Link in my sig.

H2PM Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Stupid Exam schedule. School doesn't start for another 2 hours and I'm wide awake. Also, I don't have any exams today. Tomorrow it looks like it's going to snow. It better not cancel school. I just want to be done with mid-terms.

Star. Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 And the pressure is on. I have one attempt to get my work right otherwise I won't get the top marks in this particular class. One's about backing up data before an upgrade and the other is on backing out when an installation goes wrong. I don't know what this shit is about, but I've been told to look at Acronis TrueImage by the teacher.... whatever that is. Installing software makes no sense to me. EDIT: Actually, I give up. Just give me crappy grades. ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
