i bet it went something like this "90% of our students are hired the day they graduate into an exciting carreer in their field of study".



Oh well why are you in a hurry to be a miserable drone working for the man in a poorly lit office making some old ******* thousands of dollars off of your hard work, only to be stressed out, never home and die at the age of 30 because of a heart attack from the stress and crappy food u ate with wut little time you had each day to shove a big mac down your throat?

An associates degree is hardly worth the paper its printed on. Go back to school some more if you want to get hired by your diploma

but hey, look at the bright side, there is always the off chance you will survive a couple heart attacks, get your quadruple bypass, work a thankless job utill your late 80's and maybe, just maybe before you die you'll realize how insignificant your existance was and regret all that time you spent rolling out of bed i nthe morning to make some rich **** richer and wish you'd have spent more time with the wife, or laying on the beach, or skiiing down a mountain or maybe you'll be so used to working the thankless job for "the man" that you'll actually wish you had put more hours and worked harder, maybe wish you'd have gone to work on days you were sick and taken less time off.................... but i doubt it



there's always the off chance that you'll live to a ripe old age and retire, only to sit around the house bitching because your too old, sore and poor to do the things you always said you wanted to do but never had the chance, you'll look out the window of your nursing home at the kids playing and say "if only i knew then, wut i know now".

I'm retired and you know the more time that goes by the more i start to think about simplifying, i;ve got a house, pool, hot tub, two brand new cars a boat , 60 inch tv, yadda yadda and I don't think that any of that has made Amy and I any happier then we were living i a 1 bedroom apartment driving beat up first gens.



So I ask myself, if i had all the money world wut would i do with it, when i was 16 i would have said buy a fast car, and a bigscreen and and a jet to fly around the world and a giant house, now i ask myself this question and the answer would be to live in a little palapa on the beach in some foriegn land where the mailboat visits once a month, , the wife and some sun...... maybe even a trailer lol
