Texas BS Thread

Couldn't agree more this this, I went for 4 years and it's just not for me, never finished.

Perfect !! Then it sounds to me like you have a career plan. Career != big corporate job per say, it's more about what you want to do for da moneys for a very long time. Trade school will be good for welding, but before you go, ask yourself what industry would you like to get into. do you have any contacts in the industry? If you can't get directly into what you want to really do, what's the gateway or paths to get there?

^^ That's how you make da moneys and stay happy If you know, you don't get near as frustrated with your job day in/out because you have a plan (aka career path).

More power to ya, I thought about being a welder once, but not in Houston. Fuck that, it's too hot.

 

<------white collar

 

Yep, some roughnecks working on drilling rigs can barely rewrite their names and still make $80-90k.

 

Good electricians can may that and if they get their Master Electricians certification they can open their own business and make more than that.

 

Does anybody know Interex from TTORA.com?

 

Agreed. The people who say that you can't make a living without a degree aren't willing to work hard enough to make a living. There are panty of good jobs out there that don't require an education, but do require you to try....

 

To make money from what I have seen you have to be willing to travel or relocate every couple of years as well. the reason i say this is because when you are a "resident expert" or "The go to guy" you will be asked to travel or get job offers from different companies that need help.

 

I don't know him, why?

 

He had some wheels for sell a while back that I would like to get since the holidays are over and I have some cash.

 

Pretty much across the board but there are almost always exceptions to every rule.

 

I believe the golden rule to jobs; white or blue collar, is to truly be indispensably. If you are such a subject matter expert at what you do that you are the "go to guy" then your company will work to keep you or you will be recruited by other companies at your own terms.

I have a "white" collar career that I perform blue collar tasks and white collar tasks. That is one of my better qualities is that I will do whatever needs to be done without hesitation; sadly not everyone is like that.

 

Ehh my dad never graduated High School (technically he has he got his diploma in 2011) and he's been pretty successful. he works in the aerospace industry for Northrop grumman.

 

Robert, it is worth mentioning he is a retired Marine who worked in the air wing while he was in. That said; it is still impressive what he does.

 

Well, the Texans won, hopefully they'll take down Baltimore next week.

 

Going to try to fix Ellen's airbag light on the TSX today...

Maybe you missed yesterday, but most of didn't finish school... why would we do homework ?
