School update.

See all that means nothing. and no I don't work a workforce, never have never will. I started learning how to run a business since before I was 18, I've worked for the government and ripped apart navy ships. man ****. and funny thing is college means nothing to me. I'm not going to waste four years of MY life ( other people's may be different ). but the average college graduate... how big of a chance does he have of becoming a CEO of a company while that CEO steps aside and lets u take his spot? not likely at all. who wants to be replaced by someone else? no one. You don't have to have a college education to succeed. if you know business and are a go getter than you will be fine. so your statistics mean ****.

just cause of the people I know, I can save up 20 grand, have someone bid on a government scrap auction, win a bid, turn around and make 6 figures in a couple weeks. save that 6 figures and do it again a few times. save up a half mill, bid on a navy ship, for a 2 year contract and make a few mill in profit. those types of capabilities require no college at all.

my parents own a high end government scrapping company if I get bored I can always go hop on an excavator and throw around scrap metal for a bit of each day. no college.
Know how to swing a hammer? know how to read a tape? go get a job on post prevailing wage. $38 an hr at age 18. right out of highschool. I went to no college.

Social skills, common knowledge, hands on experience, and drive is all you need to succeed.

you want to go learn how to do something? get your hands dirty. get your hands so dirty you could do it on your sleep. then you can go start a business in anything you knew how to do.

hey, what part of what I said was a lie?

Next time you chime in come with better ammo. and make sure the pretty little wagon isn't what's compelling you to give your opinion.

Ha, good thing you said something cuz your definitely part of the workforce(assuming you have a job!). But regardless, just because you go to college doesn't mean you can't learn to and eventually own your own business. And since you wouldn't know because you never went, college is about a lot more than school. College is were life long friends are made, and if you want to or not you engage with tons of people with different social backgrounds.
But its true, you don't HAVE to have a college education to succeed, but statistically people who go to college DO do better. You can't say statistics aren't true just because you don't want them to . But I think what your trying to say is that statistics don't speak for the individual, and your right drive is everything. That said, I think a majority of college students(who actually graduate) have more drive than those who don't go to college because college is an extra step and lazy people would tend to try to cut as many corners as possible.

But to your "jobs" why don't you save up 20g and do that? OR better yet, take out a loan and do it if its such a sure money maker?? It seems stupid of you not to do such a highly profitable thing. And unlike you, not everyone can fall back on mommy and daddy for a job, and others would refuse to do such a thing. I for one wouldn't do that cuz I'm going to make myself, I don't want to work for my parents and get everything handed to me. And really? 38$? How many jobs like that are there and how many 18 year olds fill those positions?

And I sure as hell am not following any bandwagon. I'm working on getting a pharmacy degree, and at some point I would like to own a pharmacy.

are you suggesting that in lying? why would i lie? that **** is stupid. I'm not saying that I'm amazing, some dude tries to tell me how he thinks the only way people do good is to go to college. that's not true, and at least half the people on here know it, and I gave a few examples because I've experienced it. I've had to make **** happen for myself because that's the only way anyone gets anywhere in today's world. people are greedy these days so you have to be a go getter if you want to GET anywhere in life.

And you don't have to take my word for it, not at all. but if some oneone suggests that something is the way that it is not, then I'm going to let them know how it is.

so as long as people are making dumb assumptions, they're going to be corrected.

and I think you are just frustrated that you have been wrong in everything you have said about me. I don't tell you how your life is cause i don't know. but when people like you try to tell me how my life is when they dont know, I have to tell how it really is. not that hard to figure out there newmy.....

I'm definitely aware of the social part of college I have many friends that are in college. there's hundreds of thousands of people within the company I work with so the social part is definitely there. and actually the social life is one of the many backbones of the company. similar to Facebook, but for real life not on a computer.

with my parents scrap business I started putting in the hours and learning the ropes at 13. it's just not something I want to spend my time doing. If you know about working for parents, And having a rich cocky ******* stepdad, there's just too much tension to where I want to have anything to do with it.

the life I live right now through my job I get discounts on almost everything so tons of money right now isn't something that I need.

when I start making about 10 grand a month ill start bidding on scrap and do it very part time.

You can infer my facts from my teachers, coaches, and that peace of paper.

LMFAO. Says you.

 

[Minten]

LMFAO. Says you.

From my facts... OH no. If you go back and actually think about it you can conclude the facts that I have made.

Did I mention anything about a lie? I simply stated that you ARE a diptard and that you have officially hi jacked Minten's thread. Again STFU and quit polluting Minten's thread. Go post of your worthless thread dirstick. Can't believe I still read the chit you post.....what a freaken waste of time.

There is not a teacher alive that makes 88k a year. Maybe a tenured professer but not a teacher.

Yes, teachers do work their tails off. I know mine did. They have to try and teach kids and give them enough education for that child to take it and run with it and become a useful and productive member of society. And from reading alot of these posts, I see a few kids who failed their teachers. First impressions are key, in any job market or facet of life. If I ever get to hire people again, every single resume that had spelling errors, punctuation or errors in grammar would be trashed. The way I see it, is that if an applicant cannot take the time to spell-check and they send the resume in as it is, they are letting me know that one, they don't care and are ok with subpar and incorrect work or two and refuse to pay attention to detail or they are just lazy and didn't think I would catch it. I know we all make mistakes and that can be excused, if they aren't continually repeated. But spelling, punctuation and grammar are the first things that kids are taught in school and then they are continually pounded into these kid's minds all of the way into their Senior year. If you cannot properly write a letter to a professional or an employer by the time you are 18, either you failed a teacher or the teacher failed you. I'm going with the first statement.

A college degree is everything, even if you are not using it in your job. It says everything about an individual. It says that they are dedicated and saw everything through to earn it. A degree will bring you in at a higher tier in pay, even if you are getting an entry level position. A degree with a HS diploma will get you further up the ladder than a degree paired with a GED.

As far as GPAs, that whopping 2.3 may get Minten into a local junior college but MIT or any Ivy League school won't even get past his HS transcript to read his opening letter.

Thank you, I understand that grammar and other things on that subject are important. About a year or so I decided that it would be a good idea to start practicing good habits in typing, etc. Right now my GPA is a 3.4 but that was because of football. Now that I'm seeing much more free time for studying and homework I should be closing back on my 3.98 goal.

and If you noticed on the attached document 66% of the teachers have a Bachelor degree. Also most have over 10 years of service to THIS school. That means that even if they only get about 60k over time and experience their pay will increase. I know most teachers there are OLD. and I mean dirt old. Like teaching there for 30+ years. I know some of my neighbors whose kids I go to school with, have the same teacher they did.

 

[Minten]

Also a note, when I say 30 days of paid leave, I consider each of their meetings they have every other week. So, from that you can say that already in my 13th week of school they have had 6 or so days on leave seeing they actually aren't teaching, rather they are sitting in a conference room with all of the other teachers that teach that subject. And yes these DO occur during class schedules so substitute teachers are required. I did some asking of my teachers and substitutes make about $100-$130 for a full day of teaching . What is considered a full day though is a mystery.

 

[snowmobilesrme]

Please reference the bold and yes, coat tails.

still don't know what you mean by coat tails, but again, I have nothing to do with my parents scrap business right now but if I decide " hey I want to go do this for a bit" they have all the permits the licenses etc. it just makes it a little bit easier that way. I would be using my own money for the bids, and putting in my work so I don't see the problem there.

oh yeah. IF I decided to pursue that, that's how it'd be done.

and newmy, I'm sorry, but you do read my posts, something is compelling you to do so, so I'm glad my writing affects you in such a way.

It's all good though, haters gonna hate though right?

You are talking about a non-instructional meeting or conference?
It's not sonsidered paid leave. It's called professional leave or professional development.

That kind of time is MUCH different than a day away from work.

Paid leave is when you go sledding and still get a day's pay.

Minten:

Ivy League schools are very unlikely with anything less than a 3.9_ and a huge list of other accomplishments. These include high SAT and ACT scores. High musical and athletic honors. Community service. Saving Africa. Shoot, the college I went to was a private school (not Ivy League) and still turned away thousands.

And I hate to say it, but recovering a GPA is much, much, much harder than just keeping it high. So many fine folks are able to pull 4.0 or higher while doing a ton of activities that now would be a day too late to get that Ivy League dream started. But good luck. You better really want to be there with the cost of living and tuition these days

OH HEY!!!!

college would be a good esperience, many get what they want out of it,

but the cost, the money collecting, etc.

 

[PJ-Hunter]
