What do you do with a B.A. in English? ext_723591 July 22 2011, 23:46:00 UTC
What is my life going to be? Four years of college and plenty of knowledge have earned me this useless degree.

All puppet sex-related references aside, I hope this works out for you. I read the first paragraph and was about to recommend trying out a GameStop; you're not socially inept and you would know what you're talking about. I've made it to ASM at my store and I'm up to a livable wage with awesome benefits in less than two years. Definitely not as secure as what you're looking at, but worth it if you ever want to check it out.

Haha, definitely a reason that song is so funny. So much truth in it, lol. :P

Yeah, it definetly seems like the GameStop thing has been working out pretty awesome for you and, really, I don't see Steam/its clones putting you guys out of business like Netflix did Blockbuster/its clones. Definetly a secure market, videogames.

I am a military brat. My dad was career air force. With a college education, you want to go in as an officer. For one thing, think about that test. Was it difficult? Right. Now think about what the average person who takes that test gets on that test. Okay. Now, do you want to be hanging out with those people and having them tell you what to do? Right. You would find some of them unenlightened. (to say the least ( ... )

Every single job ever will always have some, at the gate indeterminate, amount of shit you have to deal with. The process of picking a career comes out of weighing that shit as vs the benefits putting up with what that shit gets you. If I spend eight months hiding from spiders in the desert in return for approx $100k in education, a very reasonable salary, in addition to work experience, job training, a high level security clearance, and a recommendation to the FBI, CIA, and DOD about how awesome I am... That seems worth it to me.

No question of that. Just don't get killed or it is all for naught. You'll pick the right place for them to put you I am sure.
