Re: Alternatives to College [Re: Hyper_Panda_GO]
    #7519205 -

As of right now my plan isn't to drop out of college forever. I just shouldn't be here now because I have no interest in anything. As much as people say "oh it's okay if you don't know what you want to do" there comes a point when it's not okay, and I'm almost there. I'd like to think after I figure it out I'd be willing to come back (unless, of course, I didn't have to.)

On that note, I didn't mean a different way to start a career and be okay for the rest of my life when I said an alternative to college, I just meant some things I could do temporarily (a few years) to be independent and get some experience in different things (preferably unique/interesting, but I won't push it.)

Oh, it may also suit you to go to a trade school and then join a union


That's what I'm doin. Unions aren't what they used to be - but it's certainly still a hell of a lot better than nothing.

I'm thinking of finishing college and then going into a trade, but it'd be cool to just find a career now

a good way to make some money and pass the time is in the service industry. you could try to get in a low position (backwaiting, barbacking) at a decent upscale restaurant. work there for a few months, prove your worth, and once a server leaves, maybe you can fill that spot. serving at a nice, expensive upscale place can bring in some real money.

you're what, 19? 20? something like that. if you stay at a place like that long enough, once you hit 21, you could probably start training to tend bar, then get into a late-night bar scene.

i suppose that depends on if you're into that kind of thing though. i mean, i'm basically just describing what i'm in the midsts of doing, except i'm hoping to finish school while doing it. i know i enjoy the work... and the servers make like 150-300 in tips per night, and the bartenders make 250-350 in tips per night.. which is damn decent. especially if you're still young and keeping your bills low.

Hashish!
Smoke lots and lots of hashish, and sit contemplatively under trees while doing so.

I don't enjoy THC.

Nor do I have a problem with capitalism, blkjkrabbit.

TRB - For some reason I hadn't considered that. I have thought out ways to keep cost of living down, that's about as far as I've gotten with practical ideas.

Have you ever considered the monastic path?

It requires a lot of dedication and it's not for everybody, but it is a viable alternative to the lay life. If I weren't in school right now that is almost certainly what I'd be doing. But I am glad that I'm in school, even though I am uncertain (as you are) about what I'll do with my degree and whether I'll even be able to muster the discipline to earn it.

I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

well jew, some people absolutely hate working jobs like that. you may find out you're one of those people, in which case this would be a terrible path.

i don't mind it so much. in fact, i enjoy it, far more than any other job i've ever worked. i dunno, i feel that despite the high turnover rate, there's a sort of job security in it, especially if you are good at it and have worked in high-end places, simply because these types of establishments are everywhere. or maybe i'm just jaded. but i plan on just finishing school (i've given up on my gpa), getting my two degrees, and then just working as a server/bartender for a few years while i collect myself. figure out what i want to make my career, if anything.. keep my bills and my level of commitment low and my flexibility high so that i can travel europe, or asia, or canada, or wherever the fuck else.

you can get some kind of technician license or associates degree, its much shorter.
you can join the military, and you will make a shitload if you get sent to iraq.
or you can work a regular job until you land a managers position.
you can pull grandiose quick-rich schemes that may or may not land you in jail. but hey, when youre in jail, free rent and food hahahha

Yea dude there's definitely some nice places in columbus you can work at and make some nice scratch at (I knew some people that worked at the fish market and the cheese cake factory that made a killing). You can even make some decent money working at a sportsbar I worked at bw3 through most of school and got to make decent money while keeping an eye on the sports games so that worked out for me.

Also just outside of cbus both fedex and ups have locations I worked at fedex for a while and ill tell you right now it sucks ass but you they'll pay for your school, give you decent money and you can get insurance through them if you need it.

Okay, this has nothing to do with the topic, but why the FUCK is it BW3? I mean, I only count two "w"s in "Buffalo Wild Wings."

On another note, I'm not staying here, besides campus this city blows dick. It's like a really big Syracuse with a capitol building in it.

I think if I decide to go through with this I'll try the restaurant business and continue selling (knives, not drugs) on the side.

Haha yea I feel ya man I think all of ohio is pretty shitty myself I'm plotting my escape right now actually. I wanted to head out west but just got an interview with a company in flordia so we'll see what happens.

I can't even tell you how many people have asked me about the 3rd "W" in bw3 I even had people call in not order anything just to ask that haha. The third "W" stands for "weck" buffalo wild wings and weck. Weck is a special type of bun they make where they put flour and rock salt on it and grill it. I think its pretty nasty almost no one orders it.

Haha yes it really is that shitty and the weather is a major factor for me I'm done with snow... I'm ready for warm weather all the time. I really don't understand why someone would come to ohio if they weren't born here, corn fields just aren't really that great. I mean cleveland is alright and columbus is alright but neither are great if you ask me. At least in most other states that have lots of snow there is good skiing and whatnot but ohio is so flat there's none of that, its just an all around shitty place.

cali really isnt all that hyped up to be what it is...

-yes, the weather is nice, very nice especially if youre in socal.
-the traffic sucks royal balls.
-club scene is overhyped and can be really fucking gay
-rent is expensive as hell, especially in SF the best part of cali
-shitty heroin (tar only)
etc.

aside from the weather, corn fields sound great to me right about now. a serene place to just "get away" can be a serious stress reliever (though i prefer the desert since i like hot, dry areas). of course the good heroin would be a bonus :crazy2: hows cinnci compared to columbus?

Cinci is ghetto as fuck I'd definitely say worse than columbus.

I just came out to cali (first time west of tennessee for me) this summer and had a blast in LA.. I'm not really much of a club person but the weather was perfect every day I was there all the drugs I tried out there were WAY better than what we have here (I can't believe what they try and pass of as cocaine here after sampling the cali blow). I don't fuck with heroin but I am friends with a few people that do not sure what the quality is but they seem to enjoy it, I'm sure its cheaper anyway haha.

ok, ill give you that much. stimulants, x, "rave" drugs are significantly better in cali. and drugs are much cheaper, yes. heroin & downers, the midwest and east coast own cali's ass.

psychedelic drugs seem to suck on both ends unless you grow your own shit or get yours from a vendor.
