Remind me not to try constructive threads in the future.

The answer is "find something you care about doing, and get get a job doing that."

so, sexologist or videogame designer.

This is the main problem people have with finding jobs. They take the things they do (or wish they do, you're not Spram) and decided that's all they could enjoy doing for a living.

I changed my major three times in my first year of college going from ideas of things I love in theory but in practice, everything was killing me. As much as I love learning about those things, I couldn't be a scientist unless they handed me a crowbar my first day on the job.

Eventually I came to electrical and mechanical engineering, not because I give a crap about what I'm working with, but because I love the work I'll be doing with it.

[Catloaf]

You can still carry a crowbar with you at all times.

...in tons of debt...

 You said in another thread that you were in debt of $400.  That is not tons of debt, that is not quite a bit of debt, that is not a medium amount of debt; That, is a small amount of debt.

Fuck you in the eye.

Edit:  $400 is obtainable by begging for a week in many places.  GET OFF YOUR ASS.

No one hires you for a week. They want 3 months minimum, or it's wasted effort to train you.

[Kayma]

In all seriousness, go to a temp agency or something. Since you're always punching us in the face with your homebrew, I assume you know how to code; go find an IT staffing firm in your area and tell them you wanna do some contract work. Money in your pocket, a bullet on your resume, and no heavy commitments.

Why would you only want work for a week?  I never suggested anything of the sort, I merely said that one could obtain $400 in a week by sitting on a corner all day and asking strangers for money.

Also, try selling your blood and semen.  That's the other lazy method of quick cash, or so I hear.

Well, there goes the future neighborhood.

You know how doing anything as a career kills your enthusiasm for it as a hobby?  Don't get a sex job.

I blame school far, far, far more for hurting programming for me than work.  Lack of stimulants, too.

I'm not programming; I'm too busy with Pre-Calculus, Calculus 1-3, Discrete Math 1-2, Linear Algebra, Physics 1-2, Statistics, etc.

That's not what SHE said!


I really don't think that people are supposed to enjoy/care about their day-to-day work any more than ensuring it gets done.

You're not a dwarf, you won't go cracking open someone's melon because you don't like your job.

Extensive  knowledge on any subject like that kind of kills it in my opinion

"Honey, let's try something kinky tonight. How about tying me up?"
"Oh God, you never told me your father beat you!"

I really don't think that people are supposed to enjoy/care about their day-to-day work any more than ensuring it gets done.

You will hate your life.

[Classic]

 
Th-that's what SHE said!

[Lady Duke]

Hey I wanna be a sexologist maybe, but I won't be blowing anyone other than Kazz if I decide to get a job in it.  I'll just go to *gasp* grad school.

[Classic]

Good luck on the fucking GRE then. That was terrible.

I meant a purely scholarly interest.

[Brentai]

Fag.

[Norondor]

If only!

The one problem I have with the Consumerist is that one of the editors seems to be for lack of a better term, a troll. Ben something or other. Multiple times he's posted stories that are very clearly not that big a deal, and yet posted them like they were the biggest fucking thing ever, to the point of omitting details to make it sound like evil big business must rape the consumer 24/7 no company is good rararararar.

[Kazz]

i have a scholarly interest in game design

after a long time trying to do other things, i figured i'd pretty much rather be dead than try to do anything else.  it's only september of my first semester, but i'm already leagues happier right now than i can ever remember being.
