Gay Chat V11 - Were you expecting something funny? - General

I am literally an animal who cannot get a point without having my freedom ripped out of my wallet. or at least, in the opinion of my city's transit authority. $215 fine for resting my ankles on the corner of a seat!!!!!!!

[QUOTE=Durnis204;45869002]Same. I'd been searching for months, and actually found something through a friend, fantastic pay, upwards of $700 a week, and I'm only 18 with no expenses. However, it was a shit desk job that I would've been working 40 hours a week and hated it. One of my goals in life is to always have a job where I at least don't hate going to work.[/QUOTE] As long as I can make a little over $1k a month I'm a happy camper. Living expenses here are dirt cheap.

Well, my five applications I sent out last week never responded. Looks like I have to go back to fast food or retail...sigh.

Fuck you, New York. I couldn't support myself at 1k/month if I wanted. :suicide: [editline]2nd September 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=MaddaCheeb;45869038]Well, my five applications I sent out last week never responded.

Also, knowing people is the key, but not so easy. Seems like everyone I know that has a job "knew someone".

Everywhere good needs so much experience to get into and I'm scared of committing to a "career path" to aim for a higher-level job then ending up changing my interests and regretting the path I chose. I've always had this happen with my educational history, still no idea what I want to work as. [editline]2nd September 2014[/editline] This is absolutely killing me.

Migraines are awful. Lost three hours today.

My dad started out as an engineer at a nuclear power plant before personal computers even existed and now he's a software engineer working for IBM. If you want to go to the extreme I know someone who started working in renewable energy when he was young, went on to work with organising small corporation mergers, then organising events, design for events and websites, now runs his own small company, works part time with other people's small companies. He went to an art college for less than a semester and only barely passed high school. And he's only turning 25 this year. I'm probably still going to have my first job by the time I am 25, and in a way that's better than jumping around so much. But if he can do that in like seven years, I'm pretty sure we'll be right committing now to a career path for a decade and then deciding to change.

Just to say about applications, don't expect them to respond in a week. And 5 applications isn't really much. Every time I looked for a job, I would take all my free time applying to anything I can. And it took a month and a half before I got any responses. And I've gotten a few still a month after the first responses.

I send 1 job application to McDonalds. My mother says I probably won't get it because I indicated I can't work on Fridays and Saturdays. And I put 11am to 5pm as desired working hours.

They'll most likely give you days off, but you have to be available to work EVERY DAY. Catering and hospitality industry doesn't shut down like others do, so flexibility is the only way to get a job. And McDonalds operates early in the morning and late at night, so for an 11AM shift you should have been putting "any hour" at night if that was an option or midnight. The guy who will get the job is the one who put that he is available to work at all hours. Source: I work in the hospitality industry EDIT: rate dumb because you're a stubborn shit

Someone reminded me that Half Life 2 and the Nintendo DS were both released in 2004. Boy do I feel young.

Living in Northern Ireland sucks. I can never find any qts.

I found a box of wine at work that told me to 'glass with care'. I'm not even sure what it's telling me to do but it sounds illegal.

[/QUOTE] I can also vouch for this, your major doesn't necessarily entail your full-stop career. For example, I knew someone whose sister was an art major and is now currently working in a biology lab. Besides, if worse came to absolute worst, there's plenty of time to go back to school for another year or so and take new classes or just do them part-time! I mean, if you already graduated, you already have gen-eds completely out of the way so you can focus completely on major-specific things that you actually need to do to graduate in another major. Sometimes, if you're close on what you want to do and what your major is, sometimes employers might still take you in with the different major! Say, if you're in engineering and you decide art is more your game, why not take a job as an engineer and do the art classes part-time? Or hell, you don't even [I]need[/I] to take art courses, you might find something on Khan Academy or something that can help you build a portfolio. Nine out of ten employers care more about the portfolio than what you did in college anyways, as job experience always trumps education when it comes to getting a job, and even though it might be harder to get an art career with "majored in mechanical/industrial/chemical/computer engineering" on a resume (or hell, maybe not, the "strange" major could irk their interest and get them to take a peek at your portfolio anyways if it's anything like the guys at my old uni said about medical schools), it is still 100% possible! My point here is that you (and pretty much everyone else here) is still young, and even if you decide that what you major in isn't what you want at the end of the day, there's always tons of ways to make your way towards that end. Just keep chugging along with what you [I]currently think[/I] is the best path and I'm sure you'll make it happen.

First day of class today was fun! My entire semester for this class is going to be centered around ~pop culture~.

Sometimes you need to walk a path in life before you figure out exactly what path is the right one for you. I'm loose friends with a guy who worked as a math teacher for a few years before he really began to feel like it wasn't for him. So he went back to school to take the few classes he needed to in order to switch careers and now works an office job that works much better for him, but still engages math on some level (something he enjoys). Its possible to switch careers and it happens all the time. The only thing you DON'T want to do is get in a hundred thousand dollars in debt going to school to get a job in a field that will never pay that much and never hire, then having to find a new career out of being forced to. Its much easier and better to take a safe career path that doesn't cost you an insane amount of time/money to pursue then switch gears on your own choice (for much cheaper/shorter than you might think it takes to switch), than to jump headfirst into a moneypit education for a career that you likely can't get into in the first place and have to switch gears even if you don't want to. Besides, keep in mind most employers are more concerned that you have a degree and relevant skills than what your degree actually is. Many fields have people working for them that have degrees that have little or nothing to directly apply to their job, but there is something about that education that gives them value enough to work there.

Started my first day of Sixth Form college today. I'm doing Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Economics, it's really refreshing to come back and see 90% of the people I hate gone. We had a few lectures about rules and conduct and how it's gonna be and stuff, but on the whole, I enjoyed it. I think it's gonna be a good two years. EDIT: Hey! No sad music! Can I post this happy music instead? [video=youtube;olp4WX66y9U]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olp4WX66y9U[/video]

I wish I could go to college or something, don't care for my current job, don't like my living situation, and I'd love to get the experience of being independent and maybe even enjoying life

[QUOTE=MaddaCheeb;45868908]Speaking of college, I have a really hot Communications professor. I'm sure he's in his early 30's, but the good news is: [I]No ring on his finger.[/I] And in this state where people get married in their 20's, that's a statement, dammit.[/QUOTE] Don't even think about it. Seriously. Belieive it or not even getting with young professors can royally fuck but you and them over, wait until after you are not his student.

I rather be really honest than lie and say "oh yeah I don't really want to work until midnight at the job interview". And dude seriously I rated dumb because imo it was dumb advice.

You rate everything dumb i don't think anybody gives a shit anymore
