NJ B.S. Thread

Destroyed math in HS, tested out of it in college. (benefits of a tech degree) Kicked ass in Geometry and Calculus. I kind of miss it because I always felt so smart when I ace'd shit. Sadly my job requires nothing more than basic calculations now. I guess I can't complain since I get paid alright to make things pretty on the interwebs.

 

What do u plan to major in?

 

i'm a crim/english major

 

Here's a little taste of reality for where a college education will take you these days

 

well fuck....

I apologize for thinking you're a retard. you just type stupid I guess

So you have to take 2 remedial classes?

Learn English and get great at it then you can do anything.

Great idea!

 

+ debt

Total waste of my time and money.

I'm sure you have most of us beat.

 

I make more a year then my older brother and he is an architect.

 

Yea, that's a total shit job IMO. Being in construction I feel bad for them actually. Long hours, no respect, impossible to climb the ladder.

 

He did well right out of collage, then once the economy went down the toilet so did his job and ever since he has a hard time finding any firm that wants to pay.

 

That was 7 years ago, times have changed quite a bit since then. If I was to do it all over again I would have started out as an instrument tech or electrician and if be makin more than I am right now and not have to pay back 100k in loans

 

Yep, it is. School gives me enough aid where I'll graduate debt free and be making more than enough money next year before going on to MBA or law school
plus a college degree gets you to higher degrees which you need these days...

 

Experience > Education

Only speaking for my occupation (Aviation). Take it with a grain of salt.

 

Wow.

TIME WARP

 

Want a ps4 bad. To bad I don't have the cash and barely the time to play. That being said if anyone plays bf4 on ps3 hit me up.

 

Well you were lucky to get financial aid, my parents made "too much money" to qualify for that lol. I think it's a joke sadly, most middle class citizens aren't qualified for it. Either you are rich enough to pay for it or dirt poor and they send you for free. Like I say earlier a degree these days is worth about as much as the paper it's printed on.

 

paid my way through college and have yet to do anything with that piece of paper!

 

Ya, I am. Surprised too, but I also have awesome parents who saved up for me and a high paying job with a flexible schedule (SAT tutor - I'll give you a discount, Hunter)

From my experience applying to jobs GPA > everything to get you an interview...

I also think it depends where you go and how you do...

 

Pay for gaming online? No thanks. Can't trade games with friends? No thanks. Gotta be online 24 hours a day? No thanks. Ps4 with 64 player bf4? Yes please.

 

Those are all things you need to do for Xbox one. And the fact that you are a cod fan explains it all.

 

ps3 ftw. too bad i dont play it much. I only play gta5, bf3, and fifa
