So I haven't done a post of just-life things in a while, and maybe it's time for that.

( I dunno, let's try it. )

Lol, I was looking at zoo jobs this week and experiencing the same 'under-qualification syndrome.' The thing is, most zoos want you to have a degree in biology, but they pay shite. Like, the one I ended up applying for in San Antonio actually pays *less* than I'm making at the shelter. Definitely a topic I'll be bringing up if I get an interview. :P Also, call me! Or I need to call you! But I never remember :[

That is a sad, sad thing, when the job that needs a degree pays less than the one that doesn't. This is why I think too many people are wasting their time going to college. Welders can make $100,000 in the right conditions, and all you need to get started in that field is, what, a year or two of technical school?

Jim's friend Jake also has a degree in HRM and a fancy job with corporate HEB, but Jake's wife Emily is the breadwinner. She is a regional manager at Target. And Jim works alongside managers that never got a degree and have just been in the business since high school. Proof that being good at a job doesn't require an education, or that a good education will guarantee you a good job. :P

What the hell, world?!
