calling folk with ADD

[Courtney]

Ppcock, I don't doubt that you are good at what you do and many times I have thought about quitting school. I don't think school is for everyone and it's definetely not for me but I am biting the bullet because of what I Want out of my future. If I wanted to get into the business field perhaps I wouldn't need a degree because that is one of the few things that connections and working your way up can be just as beneficial, if not more than a degree for your career.
But what I want to do actually requires a degree...that's why I need it....not to mention getting a masters will boost me from 50 year to over 100..
i think I know what i need to do

and sometimes decent just isn't good enough for people, hence why they go for post-secondary. to each there own though.

someone has to do it.

also ppcock, it sounds really cheezy but education is more than just for making money
I know more about the world thatn I would have before.....I'm sorry but some(not all) of people that didn't go to school seem to be quite ignorant ...actually people that took business degress seem to be that way also..
I don't know man...education is worth more than money! I'de rather work at white spot my whole life and know what I do than work at some place where i'm making money but learning nothing of real meaning

[ppcock]

it was an excellent post up until the last paragraph.

cant be a lawyer, doctor, accountant without atleast 7 years of school.

Can't be a divemaster without some sort of educational training either.

marty people that work at white spot on nights/friday/saturday/holiday are pulling down more than someone working at Shaw callcenter

[ppcock]

excellent post rawb.

i'd really like to deal with retarded kids and people face to face.
there's people in csr that are pulling in $1k in comission every 2 weeks.
without any over time.

[ppcock]

and what happens if you drop out 2nd-3rd year and want to do something else?

that's a good waste of money?
I'm not against education, but make sure you're in your education for the long haul.

So then what's your problem?

You claim that you are doing amazing in your program. People came on here suggesting exactly what you were looking for and you shot them down. Your only response to the well thought out replies were "You guys think I'm an idiot, I get a's."

What do you want?

[ppcock]

"calling folk with ADD"

I avoided this thread like the plague.

should answer your question, Chris.

I didn't think I was giving asshole advice.

[NinjaBoy]

And neither was I...

Of the four responses before you claimed we thought you were an idiot, three were point form serious advice.

ive worked tech support and it was the hardest job ive ever had in my life, including manual labour and retail.

saying that you can get a non-career job like tech support without going to school doesn't make sense, as it is not a job you can base your life off of so it has no value in this career conversation.

I'm sorry, I thought you were talking about the money that servers pull in on friday/saturday nights compared to what people are making in the shaw call center.

I don't think this is the hardest job Marty has ever had, he seems to have a lot of free time to be on fnk while he's there. And I also don't think it's going to be his career. (At least I hope it's not! :) )

[ppcock]

service tech is what im going for and scuba instructor during evening.

[Gusto]

two jobs mon wtf

[ppcock]

I wouldnt call one being a job
it gets me a lot of dive time, and i can only assume discounts on gear.
