I'd much rather work than go to school

Keep telling yourself that.

Unless I'm forced to work as an exterminator or a roofer or some other god awful job like that, Work >>>> School

You should try a different school, bummer that your 4 years are working out that way when for most they are the best years of their life. Transfer now!

School sucks. Period. Doesn't matter where.

Absurd isn't it. I couldn't disagree more, I loved school and it is definitely superior to work. Pretty much everyone I know that has experienced both agrees. The only disadvantage is the smaller check.

Yup, but getting paid for working my ass off is a lot better than having to pay.

And if that makes me a whore, well...then I'm a whore

But if you look at your net pay over the next 10 years without schooling versus with, you could easily make the argument that you are getting paid now although it is just into a savings account you get to spend later.

But I want it now

[KU40 173]

Theres some good folk down there, good food too.

Some of the other aspects aren't as nice though.

only thing I'll give 'em is good food

everything else... yikes

I'd be interested in hearing an explanation. I've been to florida once (like 10 years ago to go to disneyland when my little brother and sister were like 7-8). We were just in Orlando, though, and it just seemed real tourist-y. and of course lots of old people in florida. and one of my friends is thinking he wants to move to south carolina. I've always though it would be decent to live in a place like that, next to the ocean, trees (hey I'm from kansas, haha), etc. My aunt lives in Louisiana and we've visited her a couple times. Doesn't seem too bad other than just kinda being....a little more poor I guess. So it "seems" ok to me. But I'd like to hear the negatives so that I have a more realistic view.

No homework? I have never, ever had a job (since I stopped bartending) that didn't leave me with things to do after hours. And hell getting an advanced degree you get paid as well.

I guess you and I have had vastly different work experiences.

oh god you're reminding me of that settlement lump sum company's commercial with all those people sticking their head out the window and yelling "It's my money, and I want it now." I feel like breaking the tv every time I heard that. I hate that retarded crap.

Grades Still Not Posted

[///M5 2,833]

But I want it now

Then get a job tending bar. While in college working 20hrs a week, I still made well over $35k every year.

What do you do?

[///M5 2,833]

One other thing, if you have to put in 40hrs a week wouldn't you rather choose when you put in the 40hrs? I can't say I ever put anywhere near that into school which of course means that I could have easily done all my homework doing an 8-5 period.

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

Fixed the DSL problem, forgot to put a DSL filter on the new Uniden

[dem beats 1,223]

Man I'm sleepy!

[dem beats 1,223]

I've been lookign at buying a Pedal bike, I think I'm gonna get an santacruz Nomad. Maybe a Yeti 7.. But I think the nomad will serve me better and hold value longer....

I can't wait for my computer to get here too. Should have all the parts by friday, can't wait.

Anyone know of a non-intrusive way to measure ambiant air flow through a pipe?

School>work

I started working at 16ish full time. I dropped out and worked eventualy finding a place where I made big time money, which I ended up leaving because it meant some weeks were 72 hours or more, and that became more common than not. Now my brother is getting out of med school soon and working under 40 a week, he has had job offers for almost 2.5 times what I was making... oh that's also what he will make after you factor in a student loan payment subtracted from gross.

I learned from that mistake.

I agree with that. Earlier I said "Most people don't go to school from 8-5 like many jobs, your classes may not start till 9-10 and only last a few hours, or some days you may only have one class or something and get a bunch of free time." and I always had enough time between classes in college or during "seminar" period in high school to get my homework done so I never actually had to do much at home.

as for work I've done, I've worked in a tire shop doing tire changes, oil changes, etc, during high school and summers for the first 2 years of college. Not a lot of brain power required there. The next summer I did landscaping. Same deal. Then I got the job I have now, which has been mostly putting data into an Excel spreadsheet, with a little software work with that data. At this job I've always been able to make my own hours for the most part, aside from days when we have meetings and stuff. I generally try to work between 8 and 5 though just so my boss and I can talk if something comes up that needs changed or whatnot. I just have to wait until at least 7:30am before I get here or before about 5pm if I want to work in the evenings because they lock the doors at night. and since it's all on my computer at work, not really anything I can do at home.

What have been your jobs where you've had to?

Time to read a thrilling chapter on Sinusoidal Steady-State Analysis, I especially love the plot twist in such literature, the character detail is also astounding....

[topgun 262]

Boring top.

Hmm, go to measure some of these 7AH gel-cells I've had laying around for a while, and they're all reading over 18V...not so good...

You live in MN, no need for the Yeti...although I think from a resale perspective you might have that backwards, but definitely not for here.

Any restrictions in the pipe? If so you can use two pressure transducers and measure the differential between them. If not, you are going to have to use a doppler flow device.
