I'm falling into a pattern of doing just what I have to to get by at school...too many bs assignments.

intro to business...the project was picking stocks and monitoring them over a six week period, and doing some write up...I was gonna do it last night but lost the instructions, then figured screw it.

I've always done that...if it works, then you have no incentive not to do it...bad cycle

Yeah...but it'd be a whole lot easier to get a good job after school with A's rather than C's. Good thing I have work experience.

Actually, it was family...the last favor my uncle did for me. I did everything honestly....I said I had zero database experience. My boss asked if I could learn it, I said yes, and the rest is history.

Yeah, that's what I said...I mean, most people don't know how to do a job before they get it...it's whether or not you can learn the job, so I said I can do whatever you can teach me.
