potentially the most shallow thing ive heard in a long time...
noticing granite countertops does not make you 'perfect' for real estate. nothing comes for free and 'living it up' is precisely the reason you have no money and arent living your dreams. myself, i am learning that more and more. lack of focus is the reason i generally can do whatever i want day to day, yet never achieve much in the long run. i am not unhappy with my job and have no delusions about my lot in life, but hearing you talk about needing to have the finer things in life, makes me a bit ill.
nothing comes for free, except karma, which is perhaps all you are gaining currently| |

Jamie... stick with school. it might be expensive, but you're close to finishing and it'd be silly to give it up to persue a career that's not all that reliable and something you might not even enjoy doing. if Advertising is your passion, you should just work hard at that so that you can eventually find a job that pays well that you LOVE doing. i know how it is to have that desire for money and being able to live well, but if you're not happy with what you're doing, what's the point? plus, you can always pursue the real estate career after you get your degree... at least that way you'll have something to fall back on.
i've kind of been struggling with a lot of the same choices myself lately, the whole work vs school thing... even though i work a great job doing what i love and making decent money doing it, i really want to go back to school to get my Bachelor's degree. i always thought i didn't need that experience for my specific job, and i didn't want to spend the money on it, but now i'm realizing that i'm just limiting my potential by not pursuing a degree. it's gonna be hard to juggle work and school, and especially hard to figure out how i'm going to pay for it and still afford to live independently and support myself, but i really want to do it before i get too old and too stuck in the rut of working at my job.
whatever you decide to do, i'm sure you'll be successful. you're a bright girl and you have a good head on your shoulders. :) |

ok i slept on it, and i think i'm just going to stick it out at least for another 2 quarters and hopefully that will motivate me again to finish school.
i actually just found a 2nd job that i'm going to start later this month. there is a brand new night club opening up in downtown miami and i'm going to be a cocktail waitress. cocktail waitresses bank in south beach.
i think a lot of you are right about being able to do both. maybe i should just focus on school for the rest of the year, and work my 2 jobs and then maybe some time next year, i can take the real estate courses and try to take the state exam and see if i can do it.
i just hate being broke. i know my boyfriend could get a job, but he is way more focused and motivated than i am about school. he is really working hard. also, when we decided to move in together, he had about 4k in his checking account and i only had a few hundred bucks because i'm paycheck to paycheck, so he put up ALL the deposit money AND first and last month's rent for us...AND he opened an account with a furniture store and financed all our furniture. so he's not like some loser mooch. i just think now it's my turn to help us out a little bit. i definitely owe him a lot of money and i've paid a lot of it back, but i really dont mind getting this 2nd job if it means we'll be able to go out more and maybe shop once in a while and live nicely.
so i think i'm going to try to get my real estate license while i go to school and work 2 jobs. haha
thanks everyone! i needed to type all that, even if no one had read it, i felt better. it was like i was reading my thoughts and thinking things over more clearly:)
oh yea and melly mel, how much do you make in a night, if you don't mind my asking? where do you bartend? i'm really excited about my cocktail waitressing job, but i dunno how much i'm going to be making. i'm hoping it'll be enough so that i can quit my secretary job and go to school more than just part time. |
he is really working hard? but cant get one part time job. thats horse. its nice that you are working so hard, but while he is pushing forward on your accord, you are stagnating. i dont care how much you love him, he is using you and if both of you are destitute, someone could potentially get a scholarship or a job(him).
i need to stop reading this thread its giving me heart palpitations. but it does make me feel better about myself since i actually support myself| |

no it doesn't make me perfect for real estate, but i was just pointing out that noticing those things and realizing that those little things can change a property's value by up to 10 grand is something that only real estate agents notice. so you're wrong about that.
you're also wrong about me "living it up". if you had read, you would realize that i am also helping support my boyfriend who is in grad school. all i do is pay rent, bills, car, insurance and groceries and that's all for my paycheck. i dont go shopping or go to the spa or have $200 dollar nights out in south beach...ever. the most i do now is meet some friends for a drink or two or go to the movies (like maybe once a month) with my boyfriend. that's hardly living it up, so quit assuming.
if you wanted to just call me a phony, materialist bitch, then you should have just done so without desperately trying to back it up with jack , because personally i could care less if you think that of me since you haven't spent a day in my presence and don't really know the first thing about me other than the crap i post on here, which i don't really blame you for, but that's why i dont care:p
lucid, thank you for your post. like i said, i think i just had a moment of doubt, but you guys are right. i've come this far, i should just stick it out and get my degree. i think you should too because you are younger now and you have the time. especially in your field. yea, you're creative and you know what you're doing, but i think the degree will help u more in the long run...ha, litsen to me now! also, you already know A LOT more than your classmates would, so it should be a breeze for you:)
i know i'm not competative enough for advertising, but i would like to think that my attitude and work will speak for themselves and that would help advance me in the industry. i guess i was thinking the same thing with the real estate. i'm honest, i'm loyal and i'm a pretty nice person...people generally like me and trust me, so i would think that those qualities would help get me business in the real estate world without me having to show up at someone else's open house to snatch their clients by being a ball busting, phony bitch with a fancy business card. lol
oh and i just read ur other post biznology, he's not using me. he loves me and he's very good to me. he put up A LOT of his own money to get us in that apt. and that is the very reason why he fell so behind financially. i'm the one with the steady income, he just has big batches of loan money that he gets every 4 months. that's a big stretch to make a chunk of money last for. i'm sorry, but that takes serious skills not to go blow that on . he's very responsible. i've already assured him that he doesn't need to find a job. it's not like i want him to, and he's like, "no, i dont want to" if i really told him to get a job and that i dont want the burden of supporting us, he would do it. but i told him not to worry. |

| I would finish your degree but you better be prepared to be a cold heartless backstabbing bitch to get anywhere in the advertising field or real estate for that matter. any field that is fairly popular has tons of competition and you either need to offer a far superior product from your competitors or take them out of hte picture and bash what they are doing. |

i was thinking more or less of walking into my job every day and sitting around a big conference room table with a bunch of geeks tossing a koosh ball around and eating chinese food while thinking of a new funny VW commercial...that would be great.
or...being like an art director for a fashion magazine. |

Everything was fine with my first two years of schooling until now. I'm actually having to take out loans.. Some of you may laugh whilst you'll be paying off school for the next 20 years, but I can't envision myself doing that. I know I'm thinking irrationally, but I can't come to grips with going in debt.
Another thing, I'm attending an out of state university and decided to move in state. However, I'm still having to pay out of state tuition for the next year. I figure if I'm dropping the extra $, it might as well be for a state I'd love to reside in, somewhere on the coast, right? If I'm going to be drowning in subsidized loans, it might as well be in a location with water and sand. Pensacola here I come! |
