chenGOD Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 You need to look outside what you think your degree can offer you. And of course - network network network. Having said that - I iknow the job market is fucked - but it seemed like he would be happy settling for that. That just doesn't make any economic sense whatsoever. if you're gonna settle for that, go do some physical labour, they'll pay more, and you can get your tickets as you work - meaning better pay.

SR4 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 . And also, I feel that no matter what happens right now, my future is going to be alright. As long as I have my girlfriend, we don't have a kid, we both have jobs that pay around 9 dollars an hour after college, and we have some place decent to live, I don't think I can be sad/in-content. I'm sorry, but I just have to comment on this - why would you go to college and settle for jobs that pay 9 dollars an hour? i know large amounts of people who are working mininum wage jobs after getting university degrees, it's the entire job market/economy for this generation of young people is fucked both you and chen speak truths. im in the same situation, but the difference is not accepting that you belong there. you need to will yourself out of that situation; you proved your intelligence, its time to use it for real. don't let initial failure stunt your potential for the rest of your life...it will only be spent in regret.

tokn Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I would rather think about your question than about an answer. Maybe your question is wrong. The problem is your question, the problem is not to find no answer. That's wise enough for 9:53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murve33 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 films/music/qbasic games Yea exactly, what the fuck am I gonna do career-wise with those interests? Nothing. Hobbies are what those will always be I reckon. And as long as I'm not too flooded with my career, I will hopefully always have time for those interests. Mostly @ Chen: I worked a labor job for a while, and it sucked shit. I wouldn't be settling for a labor job, that's why I'm going to college. Also, I don't want to work $9/hour if I don't have to of course. You think I'm not going to try to get a decent job? I'm just saying that that's honestly all I would need to be happy. And yes, I will definitely be thinking outside my major when finding a career, because at this point, I feel that the main careers I can get with my major suck fat cock. I'd rather make shit for money and have a lot of free time to do the things I truly love versus make lots of money and have to take my work home with me. I could work as a librarian and I think I'd be content as hell with my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerwolf Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Life is about making other people happy. So even if you aren't, you should try to make others happy and find out that you might end up happy yourself. A lot of truth in this. Less drugs (inc alcolhol), more fresh air and exercise. I get down when I neglect those 3 rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently looking for something flexible time-wise. Not something you can just pick up and start doing time-wise It's a fairly popular video game I was extremely good at where currency in the game is sellable for irl cash on certain sites I've cashed out over $2,000 so far which I made in a few lucky weekends At one point I had over $6,000 worth but made a few mistakes in who I trusted and lost a bunch. I've played it excessively for years but only recently realized I could make irl cash off it If I started playing full time I estimate I could make upwards of $15-20 per hour on my own schedule but I don't have much time with school lately and my internet is shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivy Zemura yvI oo ii oo Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 male prostitute in second life ? srsly tho, what game is it ? It is called Runescape. >.> You can't just go on and start making $15-20 an hour with no preparation though It requires hundreds of hours of preparation to get to the point where that's possible But it's a very large business. I knew a guy with over $100,000 worth of gold on there. He could have cashed out but pure stupidity caused him to lose it all. I knew another who made a little over $10,000 in about a month It's a really stupid game but if you know what you're doing you can make bank.
