The Upcoming Holiday Season

Nov 18, 2006 10:43

My work schedule is full next week for the first time in two and a half month. Finally, a full 40-hr. week. That's good news. Some not so good news is they're taking away our weekends for the upcoming holiday, which irritates me to some extent because I usually need at least one good weekend off to unwind. But at least I'll have a little more ( Read more... )

Actually, going to ITT is THE WORST thing you could do to your future. First of all, they don't train you to get ahead and to think creatively, they rut you with technology that's so old it can never be used, they embitter you to your field, and nobody recognizes a degree from them as something to get you a good salary cap. I've had friends who got degrees from them, and companies actually turned them away saying they were a promising applicant if not for that, because that stupid "school" trains so many bad habits into the people it teaches. And it's not a real degree! Corporate America only recognizes university degrees, and certifications in Cisco, Perl, C++, etc. Trust me ( ... )

Nothing I can really say here that no one else hasn't already. But keep your chin up and don't give up on yourself! The minute you believe and convince yourself that you're going nowhere is the very minute that can destroy whatever good will come your way. So hang in there mister! You're gunna make it! *hug*

It sucks to see you're in a rut right now, but if it helps there are a lot of folks around you now who know you can pull yourself out of it. As xvsharrax said, community college is a very good option: although I'm not as sure about the States as in Canada, they do offer essential courses, and if you find one you like, trade jobs are *very much* in demand. Financially there are programs and grants out there that you can apply for. You can also talk to your bank and ask them how would they recommend you establish a good credit rating on your own. Oh, and take care of yourself while you are feeling down! *wolf hugs*
