Recession coming

[Freak Out]

The last job I had before starting my business was in a fairly large company and the VP that I reported to worked 6am to 6pm Monday through Friday and always worked a few hours on Saturday....but he was the only Exec that did that. Most stuck with pretty normal hours. We all traveled a bunch so you could add that to the total and get a higher number but he was just a workaholic. Now I may work 20 days strait to get a contract done or a project tied to a contract done but I will damn sure take 10-15 strait off afterwards.

Working a little bit while carrying a full load at school is ok....but you should only work a weekend and never push it. The mind works much better if it gets good rest/sleep. I always helped my kids enough to make it through the school year without having to work so they could focus on study and life.....but then cut them off in the summer.

[Freak Out]

That's why you're a loser Ty. I work 35 hours a week while going to school full-time M-F and chill and relax all weekend.

As for me not being capable of living on my own, the guy you're quoting was essentially a suitemate of mine for a year with some other guys.

Whats "full time"?

[3irty1]

I like the parental strategy of treating every kid differently,

My parents cut me loose to find a way to pay for school and go to school. Good thing they did that because its probably what I needed.

My sister gets spoon fed and financially helped along every step of the way.

My brother is a genius and should be treated like a prize race horse. I expect my parents will pay for his schooling and living expenses so that he can reach his full potential.

Yep, i'm a loser. As if what a young idiot like you would say would actually matter.

Suitemate: And your point is? You still have yet to ever live on your own. Your own pad. Lemme know when that happens.

Ok, so now you work 7 hours a day...yet, we find you posting all day.

If you take 12 credits, that is 12 hours of class. And 12 hours of studying. So, add 24...that means you are basically working/studying 12 hours a day. I find that hard to believe.

Plus, your constant posting, your gym workouts, your trips, etc.

LOL

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Hell yes I expect students to work more than 40 hours. Hell, 60 hours is what most people work between at their jobs.

Why the hell would you bitch about 61 hours? I am sure you work WAY more than that if you're as high in some company as you imply.

However, one can't deny that thats a lot of credits and if they're only going to go to college for 3 years, than they'll be making the big bucks earlier and with less loans will be in much better shape financially.

Most people don't work 60 hours at their job. Get serious.

You show a shocking lack of understanding of the real world. hours have steadily decreased since the 1900s.

GAME, SET, MATCH...time for you to go home. Perhaps the satellite tour.

BTW, who said anything about my position at my company? Big assumptions from you. I've always been a work smart, not hard guy.

60 hours is NOTHING in high paying jobs. All the managers and leads at my company easily put that in. The rest are hourly employees so they do not.

Just recently you defined success as a Lawyer, Director of a company, Doctor, etc. You think those people don't put 60 hours in a week. LMAO. You're clearly not very high at a company if you work 40 and call it a week

exuse me, you said MOST PEOPLE. Hence, you are wrong.

Furthermore, most students are going to be highly paid. I guess school teachers, engineers, accoutants, etc are highly paid. LOL

Success: I did no such thing. Find that. Once again you are lying. I said that there are varying degrees of success and that what one person determines isn't the same as another.

BTW, as the son of TWO FUCKING physicians, and the brother of one..i can most assuredly tell you that they don't work more than 45 per week. One doesn't go to school that many years to work long hours..you go to school to get a high hourly wage. Idiot.

Same for lawyers. After the standard 7 year partnership..they work normal hours..unless they have a major case.

Lastly, my buddy...who has graduated from GT, masters in EE from there, MBA from ASU and is a director at his chip company...rarely works more than 45. The longest days he works are when he travels to china.

People that work long hours are business owners or that are self employed.

As for me...i vary. But, i don't consider it work..it is all integrated. And, i can pretty much do as i please. If i choose to come in at 7 or 9 no one cares. And, if i take 3 hours to watch a bball game..no one is looking over my shoulder because...RESULTS ARE WhAT COUNT. And, prolly cause they also see me sending out emails at midnite or see from my swipe card that i was in the office sunday nite.

Exactly. Partial has no experience in the real world.

[MJZiggy]

Zig thats a load of BS and you know it. There is ample time for anyone to learn with a 25 hour work schedule. If they can't learn it in 5 hours a day, they're not going to learn it period unfortunately.

My propositions wouldn't fly because people are afraid to sink or swim on their own.

Perhaps those who attend a more rigorous univerity than Platteville or UWM might find school and their coursework a bit more challenging.

Or would your supposition be that all comp sci is the same, regardless of university. If so, you are even more stupid than i thought.

OK, well than my girlfriend who put in 25 hours of work plus an additional 10 of research or so while getting great grades at Madison must be a rarity. You're a dumb ass Ty. It's not hard to do, since students like you who attended good schools like Madison are so much smarter and superior in every sense of the word I don't see why they shouldn't work even more!!!

I will repeat this one more time. You (and your girlfriend) are NOT representative of everyone. You did it, she did it, who cares? Math is easy for some, others not so much. I had to get tutored and take the proficiency exam 3 times to get out of school. I was happier taking language which was the other choice. Not everyone learns at the same rate and you cannot pigeonhole them. Maybe you need to look that word up? You need to learn to see people as individuals, with skillsets separate from your own. How can my little kid understand that all people are individuals with individual abilities and you cannot? Consider the notion that you and your g/f chose each other because you are on similar social levels and have similar abilities and interests...but is there nothing she can do that you find challenging?

Don't be stupid Ziggy. There is nothing a woman can do that Partial can't do.

He already told us he is smarter than her...despite that she studied/applied herself more in high school, graduated from a better university, and is now attending grad school.

Basically, i think we can determine that she is like a lot of women at that age...low self esteem.

[MJZiggy]

Low self esteem...Hmmmm...Interesting. I always wondered, but that could be it. He needs to be better to her. I've seen pictures, he's way out of his league.

[Scott Campbell]

How many hours a week should one work? There are a lot of ways to answer the question, but I personally prefer - "whatever it takes". I like to compete.

Other people may choose to work less, and I would never hold that against them. Unless they tried to tax the crap out of me to even the playing field.

It is pretty common for women in their 20s.

I met a GORGEOUS women in the gym. She started talking to me, cause Tyrone is there to workout, and doesn't approach women at the gym.

She was friendly and such...then later found out she had a boyfriend. My buddy's women, when I related the story and why she kept talking to me..way more than would be expected (finding me in the gym, telling me when she was going to be there, etc)..said low self esteem.

Last time at the gym...started asking me about guys and why her 41 year old boyfriend (she is 27) didn't want to go to her best friend's parents house for easter, why when a couple friend came into town..he didn't bring her out, about him not having health insurance, him not meeting any of her friends in TEN MONTHS...him shooting up insulin..for his bodybuilding, etc.

This is a gorgeous, college grad, professional..from a succesful family in the midwest. I just looked at her..and, well, just silently acknowledged my buddy's women and how smart she was.

I'm with you. If it takes 70..i'll do 70. If it takes me 30..that is even better.

I like being judged on performance..not how long my ass is in the seat.

Man.

That's right up there with the ugliest shots I've ever taken at Harlan.

I'd love to do 70, but have a long-ass commute and a kid in child care that closes at 6:30. Happily, my boss knows that and knows that he has intelligent humans working with him not robots. Therefore he makes concessions and has an incredibly productive staff that doesn't screw off at work because there's not time for them to be human.
