I hated dealing with customers. Luckily I graduated from college last year and I'll never have to work in that field ever again.

Believe me, it's worth it. Your quality of life goes up infinitely b/c you get paid better for a job you (hopefully) enjoy.

plus theres a gaytar hero to play whenever im not busy:grin:




All the hoes that work at my job are so ugly, and they are so annoying. And there's this gay kid that tells everybody how hot he thinks I am haha, it's so weird. He actually got arrested recently for helping somebody steal shit haha, so I don't have to deal with that anymore. Everyone cool quit so I hate going to work.

I work in the corporate office of an offshore drilling company. I'm only going to be at this job for a year, though, b/c I going back for my Master's next year.

I graduated last year and after applying for this job, I was offered the position for about $45,000 a year. It's not a ton, but it's good considering it's my first full time job and I have no experience in the field.

Right now we're implementing Oracle, so most of my day is spent on the computer.

Get there between 8 and 8:30

Do Oracle stuff until 9. Grab a cup of tea and breakfast. Suppliers usually bring in complimentary breakfast, which is nice (but fattening).

More Oracle stuff from 9:30 or so until around noon. I either head off to lunch or eat at my desk if I brought my own lunch. We're only supposed to take an hour break, but usually I take an hour and a half or two hours if we go out for lunch.

2:00 until 5:00 is usually spent with more Oracle stuff or meeting with salespeople who want us to stock our vessels with their shit.

Overall, it's not bad and there is a lot of room for advancement, but it's not what I want to do for the rest of my life.

Nah, we do have a working relationship with them, though.

Cool. My dad worked for Geco-Prakla for 15 years before they were acquired by Schlumberger. He was a Navigator on the geophysical ships that are out in the Gulf of Mexico. Then he became a Party Chief (in charge of the boats). Basically, the ships my dad was in charge of looked for underwater oil pockets in the Gulf.

I want to work in politics or political consulting.

I went to college for 4 years for my Bachelors in Political Science. Next year I'll be going back for my Masters in Public Policy.

In ten years I hope to be working either at a think tank doing research or a consulting firm helping to plan campaign strategy.

A lot of it is political theory (philosophy), history, and research methods.
