i'm going back to college come this fall. retail is kicking my ass... the money is ok, but i'm tired of working weekends... tired of having a peice of shit schedule... i was happy with it at first, but now its just really tiring and i've seen the real world without a college education, and thats not for me... other people might be able to make it work, i dont want to be one that just "gets by."
sorry, just had to vent for a second.

Exactly. Alot of people get degrees just to work in retail.
Unless you have a whole plan all mapped out on what you are going to school for, what the job market is with your field, and what's the lowest and average salary.....look at all those kids who went to tech schools for web design....not doing a damn thing, market is saturated. Just be sure to have a plan and not "winging" it.

Dont get me wrong.. School is great.. But at this point if you are not going to get a degree to make real cheese you better of spending time working then in school right for a silly career. Shit.. I rather start early with my 401k/IRA/Investing =]

a lot of ppl go to school undecided on their majors...once they get some electives under their belt, they find their niche, and there you go. I know ppl make it with out and education, but an education is something NO ONE can take away from you! The sooner you go to school, the more years you will have with a degree, and on average a college grad makes 2 million more in a life time then a non grad. Im not saying that an education is a "sure thing" to a great career, but the benefits of an education certainly outweigh the costs.

Bhwhahahahahah If it wasnt for the doctors, pharmacist, dentist, lawyers.. That extra 2 million per life time quote would not exist... Those are careers that make real money.. I know there are a few more
Actually in this country for certain jobs experience means everything... Go ahead and get a degree in Business and compare yourself to someone whos been in business( with no College Degree) for about the same amount of time it took you to finish school and see who gets hired 1st??

alota schools now have work-programs so their graduates will be ready for the "real world". In my major, we have to take hours working with the athletic program/rec center/medical center. I have grown up in hospitals and athletic programs, both participating and working with them. That is my background, and that is why I decided on sport medicine. My tract has me to undergrad and a 2 yr grad/work program. So, if you know what you want, you probably have an intrest/background in that field. Its all relative to each indiviual case. Go for it! You only live once, do what makes you happy. I have a hella good time in college; in class/ with my peers/ on campus. As they say; different strokes for different folks!

Thats a diffrent topic. You have been doing the correct way though. That kicks ass the way you have been doing it.. that right there will pay off, because you been doing that for awhile.
But I dont know much about Collins background though.. all i know hes been working in retail for awhile.

the thing is, i have an idea what i want to do, so i'm going to go to the advisors at the school i choose to attend to get more advice. i've talked to people in my field of interest. its not going to be just a 2 year tech school. my theory is if you go, go all out, so bachelors will be the minimum i go for. possibly even masters down the road. anyway, i'm done with basic retail... not quitting just yet, lol cause i gotta fund the schooling somehow, so i'll deal with it for now lol. but yeah, i was just throwing that out there. i've given it alot of thought, and i've come to the conclusion that i, personally, can go farther in life if i continue my education. and hopefully in the long run, all the hard work will pay off. if not, then it'll be a good experience. because as stated previously, education is one thing that NOBODY can take away from you, and that sounds good to me. :)

You wont regret it. I spent about 6 months after highschool, working retail, and doing my own thing. I actually went as far as moving to Georgia for a fresh start but it is definetely the best decision i've ever made. Times will be rough... it will be a bitch to mod your car... and to pay your bills... really discouraging... but for the money you'll make the rest of your working days, without having to worry about back breaking work and shitty schedules for crap money... it's definetely a wise investment.
Good luck.

I don't know if you were dicking with me or not... The average salary for someone starting out with an undergraduate is around 30-40k... Shitty? Sure. However, I do intend on getting my phd and opening my own practice, in which case the salary range is 100k +
Doesn't sound like "shitty" pay to me, especially considering it's something I enjoy. To each their own i suppose.

julio, i personally couldnt be a doctor! lol but thats just me.... my whole thing is that i really dont want a desk job. i dont want the normal 9-5. i like the sales industry, just not necessarily in retail. so what i've been thinking about is corporate sales. i've talked to several people, including my brother, who gave me some insight on what all goes on with it, and so far i like what i've heard. you get paid travel, paid mileage, easy work schedule, AND you get to establish that customer base, which really is more my level. but yeah i'm lookin forward to it, and it'll be a fresh start for me... i've almost got my associates finished. i only need like, one more semester. then i start on the good stuff. i know money will be a lot tighter, but thats ok. i'm willing to do what it takes to get it done.

every career you choose is the career you choose.....people dont go int careers that dont make alot of money to make alot of money, they go into careers like those becasue they like it and want to do that certain thing. i mean take me, im hopefully going to graduate with a degree in history and minor in education or vise versa. but i mean, i know there isnt much pay in the teaching feild unless you get your masters. but honestly im goin into that feild because i like that kind of stuff, and i wouldnt mind teaching my knowledge other kids...and besides stay in the certain district for a long ass time lol and your set for retirement lol.
honestly, i dont think its whether or not you go into a job expecting money, its the effort that you put into the job. look at the post office people, they deal with mail all day. but you know that when they are old n retired they aint got shit to worry about

I am in my third year of college and I don't want to go anymore. Sometimes I feel like school is not for me. I have decided to take a semester off that way I can rest and get my motivation back. I know I need a degree in this world. I don't want to be stuck with a dead end job and no way out for the rest of my life. I plan on having a family and I feel I need a degree to give them the things I want

Collins Im proud of ya man..
As far as expeirence goes I have to agree with Julio. Im a Vet technician, one of the most underpaid job and overworked people. I have 5+ years of expeirence and at the last vet in conyers I was making more than a certified Tech that had only a year of expeirence. Alot of Vets these days are so short handed they cant handle training a tech from scratch, they need someone who already knows alot and can conform to the small differences at their practice. In my 5+ years of teching I have worked at 6 different vets (3 of them being small summer jobs) and the min I made was 10/hr. Im now working part time at a vet right near my house and making 13+ an hour (again part time)..

Well, I figured that if I register myself for the spring semester I will have to go back to prevent myself from getting lazy. I just really need a break. I mean I have no motivation to go to school at all. I am just tired of school. I have not had a break except for summer, but that is not enough.

Im in my second semester at college and i really like how my school works. You never have a summer but the work experience is worth it. I have normal school from october till christmas break. After break until March I am on co-op. Its a paid position with a major company (such as UPS, GM, Hella, Bosch, etc). Then from April till June back in school. Then from July till September back at work. Its great since school semesters only last 2.5 months and there is a 2 week break between each term. I am working for a degree in Mechanical Engineering with an Automotive Specialty. The only downside to my school is that it takes 4.5 - 5 years to graduate. But the plus is 98% of students here graduate with a job.
Great choice on going back to school.

Yeah that's the thing. Like I don't really know where I want to work. I have to find a summer job and I can't really decide where I would want to work. I am so damn picky. The only job (well two jobs) that I had that I liked a lot was Hooters and Backstage music. I can't work at Hooters for the rest of my life and Backstage closed down. I don't know. Maybe if I keep praying I will find something :dunno:

Yeah, you may be in the business for a long ass time, and with the same company for a long ass time, so they might "know" you. but i can almost bet you that if someone applies for the..lets say manager position that you are applying for. and you show back ground of not only being in retail for a long time, but also a degree in a feild that has to do with managorial( if thats a word) purposes, 9 times out of 10 that person is goin to get picked over ther person with just experience cuz all they have to do is conform to their surroundings, they would already know the business throught some of their experience in the work place and then the techincal aspects of it through their degree

Accounting is my major too. I am going for pretty much the same reasons, but instead of starting off working for someone I am working for myself. If my business doesn't work I will have something to fall back on. I want my own car shop. I am investing in Jesse's business so we will be partners since he knows more about cars than I do plus he has a degree in mechanics.

let me clear What im trying to say here... Im not against College , I have 2 years under my belt ( criminal Justice ) never Finished because I realize what I was going does not pay enough.
Yes, College is great , But if you going for a career that the pay is going to be lame, In my eyes, Why waste your time?
I have only have 2 jobs in my Life SInce I was 16 im 27 now, Been very happy with the decision I made.
Money is not everything in this life and it might not make some happy, But it sure as hell rents the fuck out of it.
What do I get with a degree that more then likely I will never use? I know ALOT of people that are in that situation, Bad decisions in there young life.. I wish college Students had "Better" counseling while going to school and help them more, I dont think is as strong as it should be.
You know how many 25 year old Peeps are out there fresh out of college, with a diploma, No job, No savings and Student loans up the ass and terrible ass credit? ALOT.
Sucks Sucks Sucks Sucks. Go to School for something you are familiar with and really want to do .. but Please be smart and do not go to school for something that will pay a salary under 40 k .. Thats a waste of time...But hey, if it makes you happy then go for it.
But anyways, I hope that clears that up.

Teachers is one example. I respect the hell out of people that want to teach and can actually do it well. But they really don't make too much money to be living to comfortably, house, cars, vacations, kids etc. It would just be to hard.
Make that money, all i gotta say lol.

let me clear What im trying to say here... Im not against College , I have 2 years under my belt ( criminal Justice ) never Finished because I realize what I was going does not pay enough.
Yes, College is great , But if you going for a career that the pay is going to be lame, In my eyes, Why waste your time?
I have only have 2 jobs in my Life SInce I was 16 im 27 now, Been very happy with the decision I made.
Money is not everything in this life and it might not make some happy, But it sure as hell rents the fuck out of it.
What do I get with a degree that more then likely I will never use? I know ALOT of people that are in that situation, Bad decisions in there young life.. I wish college Students had "Better" counseling while going to school and help them more, I dont think is as strong as it should be.
You know how many 25 year old Peeps are out there fresh out of college, with a diploma, No job, No savings and Student loans up the ass and terrible ass credit? ALOT.
Sucks Sucks Sucks Sucks. Go to School for something you are familiar with and really want to do .. but Please be smart and do not go to school for something that will pay a salary under 40 k .. Thats a waste of time...But hey, if it makes you happy then go for it.
But anyways, I hope that clears that up.
yea dawg, i gotchya. but as you said, college isnt for everybody... but i feel that it IS for me :) so guys come this fall, you may or may not see alot of my smiling face.
thanks guys for all the comments.

Where are you planning on going? I dont know exactly where you're from but I've been to the dunwoody, lawrenceville, and decatur Georgia perimeter college campuses... I recommend the dunwoody campus out of all of them. I didnt like decature... and lawrenceville is out because they are switching over to gwinnett university within the next year or so and wont be accredited from what ive heard. I also went to gwinnett tech which is decent if you are just starting back out.

yeah true, teachers dont make a lot of money starting out, but again that depends on how much schooling you have, if you go farther in college getting your specialist/masters degree's and what have you you get more money or it allows you to get into hire positions that make more money instead of having to be in the feild for like 30 years before you are a principal. most teachers on the other hand dont go into it for the money. i mean me for example, im going to school for an education/history major and i know they dont make alot of money, but honest that doesnt matter im doing it cuz i want to do it. 40k yea thats not that much to support a family. but honestly, many families now a days have a two income house hold anyways. not because they have to be but because people just dont like sitting around on their asses anymore

i kno that you dont really want another retail job, and i dunno what your idea on pay would be, but try best buy n circuit city. i mean i kno you dont nessasarily want retail, but since you have experience n shit i dunno why they would hire you and im sure they'd pay you good.

But the post is still gonna be there when he wakes up, and he wont take very nicely to you hijacking his thread and calling him an idiot and calling me a dork, hahaha. He might laugh and play along but he'll be crying on the inside and it's gonna manifest into a depression later in life and he's gonna confront you about it about 12 years from now, most likely on Dr. Phil or Maury. ;) :D
