Why am I . . .

Recommended Posts

When you are a student, you are given assignments and told to complete them. You do this your way.

When you are an employee, you are given assignments and told how to complete them. You do it someone else's way.

Either you find a job that is interesting, or you find a job where you'll have the independent authority to do things your way.

Such a GREAT student, and such a HORRIBLE employee?



Recognize where your talents lay (school) and direct your energy there. Go into teaching or perhaps get a Phd and become a professor.

Jeezus. That's a lot of time in school for not a lot of pay. But I think it's all I can do. :(



Think not of the defferal of pay but the quality of life. Do you wish to have all the essentials of the yuppee dream and be miserable with your life? If you had an A average in university you obviously are academically very bright. Your annual earnings might be somewhat less but you would love your job. Imagine getting up in the morning and looking forward to going to work!

Just my two cents, but you obviously are ignoring a great talent.

I know. But I can't live with my parents for the next 5 years while I get my PhD. And my credit situation makes it just about impossible to live elsewhere. :(

But you make a good point.

lets see: 4 red wine stains, 1 sheet soiled, 1 blanked soiled, one air mattress now leaking, tuning the heat up cuz kelly is "COLD!'...
that just about equals one billion dollars! :o;)

In most cases if you get accepted into a Phd program you will be given enough scholarships/TAships/RAships that you will not need to live with the parents, and can minimize or even avoid debt. Talk to a faculty member at your university that you have a good working relationship with and tell them you are interested and they can really give you excellent advice on this. There is always a way. See if any of them want a TA/RA and get an idea if you like academia. This is your life and you are stuck with it until you die, so make damn sure you are happy with it.

Cheers,

I have been an "A" student, but a "D" employee. Why? This is irking the shit out of me.



attitude...........

and sometimes you need to suck it up and keep on doing it, so that you can get to where you want to be and then not have to worry about it anymore....
