Why did I go to college!!

[OverVolt]

2012.

Yea but you would have been a 2010 grad. There was a shortage of job openings back then that you could get with a bachelors in your area of study, but they wanted something like 2 years of experience or a masters. If you got a masters in 2 years right after they started doing that you were good to go.

If someone was a 2012 bachelors grad and they got a masters by 2014 they want a masters and 2 years of experience, they just keep adding to it. There are those who missed the boat and those who didn't. You didn't. I'm fairly certain no matter what anyone does recently there isn't an entry level job for them period. Right now masters students are cannibalizing the bachelors entry level jobs. So many have hidden in college by getting a masters because there were no jobs. There is quite the large snowball of unemployed/underemployed college grads building up with large debts.

I wouldn't have my job without my bachelors degree either, except a couple years ago it only required highschool. Maybe you're just an idiot and don't know what your job used to require :awe:.

So, according to wiki. Kim Kardasian's career was started by doing the sex tape. There doesn't seem to be anything to Kim prior to that other than being married to a music producer and being friends with Paris Hilton. Lots of hard work!!!

I'm being serious when I ask: "Who the fuck is Kim Kardasian?" I seriously keep seeing this name pop up, and as a person who literally does not watch TV (though I catch snippets of commercials from my wife watching it) I have no idea who this is.

Why is this person famous? Seriously? I kind of sort of know what she looks like, but I have no idea what makes her different from other celebrities? Also because I'm here: Bill fucking Murray. I said it. Fuck all other celebrities.

She's rich and famous because of a sex tape she made with a rapper. She was also friends with Paris Hilton at the time.

Why did I go to college and run up student loan debt!!??

I could have been this dude who makes nearly $1m a year playing with play doh and legos.

Didn't you see the commercial? It is all about the color socks you wear.

So you think you could be the one guy making a $mill from playdoh and legos?

I never understood people who say; "Hey! I could be doing that!!"

No, you could not be doing that,.. because you never did it to begin with. You see something that looks simple to you, that is making someone happy and lots of money and you are enticed by the $$$ & enjoyment to automatically assume you can pull off the same shit.

If that was the case, you would have been doing it.

Or, when you do see something like this, you head off and do just as well or better. But, that isn't happening.

People need to focus on what makes them happy - not what they think can make them happy. Sure, try some shit out, give it a shot, etc. But focus on the act itself, not the end result. Fawning over the results and not on the journey to get there is most people's downfall.

Good points, and very true. I need to remember that.

What is my area of study?

[insert here]

But I'm assuming computer science or something related because #1 the forum and #2 its 27% of all job openings.

I know someone who graduated in 2009 and couldn't find a good job and got his masters in computer science and in 2011 the market was better and landed a six figure job at intel.

lol, don't know many people in these parts pulling 40k with a highschool degree.

my wife's highest education level is a highschool diploma (she went to like a year of community college but that's it) and is making almost double that.

I never attended a day of college and make more than double that 40K
