James the Defender 7 Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) I spent 5 years in college (3 in a University). I have my Associates and Bachelors. I graduated last year...and I work at a convenience store. The bottom dropped out in the teaching market in NJ. I now have 3 years of college debt--since my County College was paid for--and nothing to show for it but a piece of paper that says I worked my butt off for three years with no discernible future. I can just read my headstone: "He worked for 3 years in a University to attain a piece of paper...but he took some really cool classes " Yes, my headstone would have a tongue face But I'm sure your degree is in something more marketable than mine, so you'll be alright.

Pandora 77 Posted June 22, 2010 I've got an associates in business, and all I learned is that I don't ever want to run a business. I'm a psych major at one of the top institutions in the country, suprisingly enough. Not a whole lot for bachelor's is really available, but once I finish my doctorate in about 7 years and get signed on at a good research university, I'll be golden.

Tsl 7 Posted June 22, 2010 Not a whole lot for bachelor's is really available, but once I finish my doctorate in about 7 years and get signed on at a good research university, I'll be golden. Dude, that's exactly why I switched from psych to nursing....and yet here I am doing another 4 years (PT) of grad school anyway *cries* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pandora 77 Posted June 22, 2010 Princess: you knew that. TSL: Tenured Psy Ds can make six figures at a good research school, not to mention what you can make with a practice on the side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bad furday 57 Posted June 23, 2010 An Office Space moment at work yesterday! Matt was seen not "Smiling and saying 'Hi'" to a customer....and was then taken back into the office for a chat. He said it was like the scene in Office Space where Peter meets with the Bobs. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pandora 77 Posted June 23, 2010 I hate Office Space moments at work. Especially the part where I've got six obnoxious female version of Lumberg coming up to me going, "Whaaaaat's happening." As if they ever had anything new to tell me. Some day... some day I'll get to smash the proverbial copy machine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
