If not I'll head to san diego and do SAP and DB crap

Just till I can start some business up. I much prefer the client / company relationship then being led by a boss.

 

[MotF Bane]

I'll give you the first, it's expensive yes! How is it politically nuts? Too left wing for ya?

Yes, far too left for me. I really don't want to drag politics into this thread, but my politics would most closely align with American libertarians, or with the general precepts of classical liberalism (as it was developed in Europe a few hundred years ago).

[MotF Bane]

Or... well, I live in a small suburb of Boston, population less than 30k, 30 miles from the city. The median age is 40.

If that didn't communicate it clearly enough, I, a naturally anti-social person with a serious dislike of people, am starving for contact with people my age. College doesn't help, because a) I'm a commuter, on campus, leave campus, b) so are half the students there, and c) it's a shitty school, most of the students there are brain dead, and those who aren't are bored to death like me.

Living at college would be a good thing, but my grades are so poor and my academic progress such a mess that I can't transfer anywhere. I'm stuck here.

If my company ever goes public I have two top candidates for CEO

i live in the GVRD and i agree with MOTF. It is not only too left wing but there are too many idiots that dont understand how the real world works, too many hippies.

Different folks, different strokes.

There are some areas that are too left for me but I actually find the majority of the city / country farther right than my own political views.

 

[eldorado99]

ned

 

[MotF Bane]

Also, transferring would be more expensive, as any school would cost more, plus the living costs.

 

[alfa147x]

If my company ever goes public I have two top candidates for CEO

1) My personal mentor
2) Current president for my organization

 

[MotF Bane]

So I look beyond graduation, and consider that I should try living in a lively city.

 

[alfa147x]

1) My personal mentor
2) Current president for my organization

Problems with #1:
Possibly age
Possibly not understanding the products due to his history
Doesn't want the position

Problems with #2:
She marries her current bf

What's the worse thing that will happen? You don;t like it? Then just suck it up for a bit then move again.

Aside from what eldorado99 just said maybe you are seeing the stereotype of Canadian politics? As I said before my own views are to the left of the majority of the country right now and I would consider myself far from a hippie.

It's fucking cold

 

[Locut0s]

It's fucking cold

Vancouver isn't cold compared to the rest of the country. Rarely get's below freezing.

 

[MotF Bane]

Then I also think that... although I do so enjoy the New England autumn, all those colorful leaves, the crisp drying air, the light wind and occasional rain, it's my favorite season really, the end of fall is bad. I don't like winter.

Snow is pretty when it's falling, but it's a bitch to clean up, hell to drive in, nobody else can drive in it for that matter, it makes a mess of everything. Ice covers everything for months, you can't walk outside without considering if there is ice somewhere. Cars are annihilated by road salt and sand. And over all that, it's cold. So so cold, and I do not do well with cold.

The girl that I had a thing for in 8th grade definitely regrets not going out with me in HS. She hasn't left me alone since graduating HS. Too late :\

She was easy.

Yes motf I first friend-zoned her

I remember your thread from P&N regarding what American considers to be left/right versus your consideration, I saw an outline of leftist views, and most of them were radically opposed to my tastes. I can sum up my views pretty quickly - "dear government, please leave me alone."

Again, REALLY don't want to get into this here.

Also, it's Cananada. We're talking changing countries here, and that's not as casual and easy as states.

 

[MotF Bane]

What's the worse thing that will happen? You don;t like it? Then just suck it up for a bit then move again.

Correct. I'm potentially going to be 24, or even 25, at graduation, with 65-80k debt (just redid the numbers)... but that doesn't really stop it, just means I need to have a net to handle expenses when moving.

Don't take this wrong, but I could learn to hate you.

I spent my entire EXISTENCE in high school dwelling in the friend zone.

My tactic to win her over:
Become her friend (we were nearly best friends during hs)
then win her parents over. They fucking love/d me. Yes sir/ yes ma'am type stuff. Plus talking about politics and money. Yeah that was easy.
That was about it. Fucking awesome. Took 2 years though... Oh well. Never did date her.

Alfa, every one of these mini-stories from you further confirms... you, sir, are a pimp.
