Which one do you have?

Originally posted by Vector A Which one do you have?

Working on a bachelors, not sure if I will go for a masters. I am just discouraged by how many people with masters degrees I have seen and heard about who either can't find jobs or work shitty part time jobs because it is all they can get.

Pretty much useless to go to college in this country. Why waste your money or your parents money to do so.

The only time its worth it is if you go into medicine or law because thats all thats left here.

Banora are you Danish Danish, like have citizenship? Just go back there if you can.

You have three options:
1. Without college:
a.you can start at a mechant store(clothing/food/bank)and work your way up the ladder but if someone with a college degree bypasses you then don't complain.
b. Start working with your town works department(sanitation,etc..) with years(many) on the job come great benefits, decent salary at one point)
c. Join the army,marines,etc. young(18+) and get out and most police dept with great pay and great benefits seems to lean towards the people who served the country and start not too old by the time they are done serving.

2. With a college degree:
a. The better the college and degree the higher chance you have a landing a job. Would you take a 4.0 from some joeshmo college or a 4.0 from Harvard? and even with two degrees vs master vs bs why take a lesser degree as a choice.
b. You work closer to $$$ the more you get paid.(i.e wall street people) as long as you followed a.(higher rate college)

3. Knowing someone. Degree or not this can be your ticket and extra advantage over the competition out there. If you don't have this opportunity then deal as most like me!

PS. As being an Engineer, you work hard just like in college and to follow up a quote an Engineer told me. "You wont' ever become rich but you'll never be poor"

I work on select agent pathogens.

There are plenty of rich engineers: the ones who started their own companies.

agreed. if you play your cards right, in a good amount of time, you will have a good amount of safety net to live a good lifestyle.

There are many PhDs out there who can't land a job.

Personally, university was a waste of time and money. If I knew what I actually wanted to do with my life, I could have leveraged those four years to help me get there.

Live and learn.

I don't know exactly why, but this had me laughing more than most comments in the c0r these days.

Straight logic, I approve.

Wouldnt spreading shit on my walls be less worse if it wasn't my house?

i hunt down dirty bogans/chavs/white trash and make them pay the money they owe to the government. it can be pretty boring, but at the same time i do enjoy wielding the hammer of cunt on pieces of shit.

Sure, I guess, if you actually had a house of your own to return to.

I'm a freelance programmer and web developer. I work in a shared creative space called The Thought Fort, it's pretty rad. I can't stand working from home, it was so boring and lonely. Also, freelancing is cool but I am well and truly realising the value of having a boss to keep you on task

As of next week I may be moving back into a full time job as a web developer for another company, been for one interview and it's pretty good so far.

right now with not being well, I do what I can which is to help look after our grandmother who has problems with her mobility now having worked manual labour all of her life. it's rewarding helping somebody who has spent much of the last 30 years giving all of us grandchilden a good upbringing but sad to see somebody who was so independant struggling with everyday tasks that you've got so used to seeing them doing. Until 6 years or so ago she thought nothing of walking the dogs with us for miles, keeping up with a brisk pace, and climbing ladders to help with jobs almost bouncing up the rungs with anticipation.

My absolute dream careers are two things which are very different.

Firstly, Volunteering with captive breeding programmes in Africa with Lions, elephants and other creatures, hand raising them and allowing them to be released into the wild to try and replenish the numbers which are so lacking through hunting/poaching and mismanagement.


Secondly, I have a massive love for french cuisine, most notably pastry where there is some amazing technique and flavour combinations and would love to make things like this to sell to people3 from the awe inspiring croqembouche, used often as a wedding cake in france - which is profitteroles, filled with boozy cream (often grand marnier) and finished with spun sugar.



To some of the small assembled things like these




And the awesome things like croissants, pan aux chocolat/raisins and cinammon swirls, tartes etc

I work for a large pharmaceutical company as a pharmaceutical representative, specialising in cholesterol and previously hypertension as well. Looking to move into product management in the near future as I like what marketing involves, and I'm a little bit bored of sales.

In terms of career prospects, you'd be hard pressed to find a better industry or company to grow in. Sales reps can be cut quite quickly and brutally but a smart person knows which company to work for and at what time, so that can be negated.

I never wanted to go into sales but I knew I would need it in the long run. At the end of the day you have to experience what your sales force experiences before you can do a good job in management or other divisions. I've settled into it over the last few years and while there's times when I feel like a glorified drug pusher, there's other times when I've seen the changes made to patients lives and their families so it balances out.

Considering I'm only 24 and where I'm at right now, as well as the potential in the next 5-10 years, I can't complain. Every job has it's problems, as does every company but I could be doing far far faaaar worse than I am currently.

(I swear this is like the 35th time I've written a post like this in virtually the same thread though...)

Wrong. My mother worked her entire life, she's about to retire this month, and her salary never broke 30k because she didn't get through college. College is good for one thing: landing your first decent job in your field. After that, everything is based on experience. But without college, you're just another kid who couldn't fucking cut it.

A large reason behind that is that they're overqualified. The only place for a PHD is the university.

Dude that's some awesome interests there. I can relate to the grandparents thing as well, my grandpa had this workshop under his house and he could like fix any appliance whatsoever, and just the other day I was helping him re-oil an outboard motor and he was just absolutely useless at it. Pretty sad to go from really useful with your hands to absolutely nothing.
