What the fuck is going on here? I am getting bombarded with phone calls and e-mail asking me if I am interested in going back to school. I mean really? is school attendance that far down that you have to start cold calling people and asking them if they want to go back to school.
I love how they try to get you too, "you know with this recession going on it's always a good idea to go back to school this way you can blaaaaah blahhhhh blllllah". Such a pain in the ass. And then they say well computer are really a good field to get into. I say yeah 12 years ago. Computer techs now have A+ certifications but make like 10 an hr now. Web development you can learn online for almost free. N+ certification pretty inexpensive as well. Programming is harder to learn but with a few books and a good compiler you can learn that too.
Why the fuck would I pay 30K to some fucking school to learn something I can learn on my own? For a piece of paper that says I know how to do it? Times are hard I mean if you're a kid yeah it'll make sense. 18 yrs old don't know shit, yeah go spend the money. But in your 30's have bills a mortgage making ends meet is hard, sure let's pile on new school debt to it all. I'd rather shoot myself in the face with a remote control rocket launcher. Brings me to an earlier point, if college attendance is that far down maybe it's because IT'S TOO FUCKING EXPENSIVE TO GO TO SCHOOL!!!People probably can't afford it. And you know the amount of debt that you incur yeah it'll take yrs to pay off.
I'm not saying don't further your education but if you choose not to I understand. So early so angry so sorry.
Damn, you have a blog now? That's awesome. It's like working at Gamestop again, hearing you rant but without the dumb customers and the shitty pay.
ReplyDeleteYea, they keep calling me too. I just don't pick up anymore. I taught myself HTML and SQL. Took me months, but I did a better job retaining that than the stuff I learned at college. I probably can model better than some of the graduates. I just didn't have the money they asked me to pay.
Hey you, yeah I started a blog, now the thing is the blog is 2 fold, I rant and also a small dev blog here as well. It's good to hear from you. How are things?
