Recession coming

[Scott Campbell]

I'd love to do 70...........

Ok, nobody I know loves to do 70, or 80 or 90. The people I know that do it, do it because they hate to lose.

[MJZiggy]

I think you know what I meant...

I don't presume to know too much. It's safer that way.

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?

College is meant to weed the good from the bad out. If everyone can get a degree with ease than what exactly does it stand for?!?

That's BS. Anyone, and I mean anyone, can succeed with a 25 hour work week if they put their mind to it. It's mind over matter.

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.

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

Ty, I'm on spring break. You're the one posting during work all day.

15 credits = 30 hours of school
35 work + school = 65

Still 103 hours left over each week. Factor in sleep 7 hours a night and you still have 54 hours to chill, or about 8 hours a day.

Hmmm... 8 hours a day to relax AFTER factoring in studying time..

I'll take that.

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.

Excuse me????

You're telling me she's not way hotter than you? Maybe you need to trade in those cheap sunglasses (Insert ZZ riff).

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.

You don't think teachers work more than 60 hours? Maybe not anymore with the dumbed down standards. Grading homework takes awhile, ya know.

Hospital docs work a lot. Girlfriend's uncle is a chief of medicine and works about 80 hour weeks. I don't know enough physicians to comment, but I imagine most that aren't in private practice work a lot.

I know plenty of lawyers as my dad's wife works for about 50 of them. They all work very long hours.

Business owners work a lot. My dad seems to be the exception as he works about a 6 hour day. But this is definitely not typical.

So you're telling me you're up at midnight answering email and working Sundays and you're not clearing more than 40 hours? That's a pretty sweet deal that you have them.

At both of the companies I have interned at, the guys making booku bucks are working long, long, long hours. Always there before I get in, and leave later than I do.

My boss, his bosses, and his bosses' boss are always at work by 7, and I have never seen them leave before 6 once. I work early and late daily because I leave for a few hours at least every day for class.

I guess it's different with every company, but I am still skeptical. 45 hours for a director is pretty damn short.

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.

Same here. I don't like school work but I love making money so I will work 100 hour weeks if I would get an hourly rate to do so.

I like being the best. However, when I'm older it will be tough because I certainly want to be able to attend all my kids sporting events and whatnot and coach their little league team.

Looks matter very little. I don't appreciate the judgement and would think better of you than that. The fact of the matter is you don't know anything about me other than what I say on here, which is mostly to stir the pot, and from our brief encounter where I was very quiet and reserved.

She's better looking than me, sure. She hates that I am fat but she recognizes that I am a great person who is family oriented, career oriented, always willing to do whatever it takes to make her smile, do my best to make her feel comfortable and safe all the time, let her be herself and fit in with me friends, etc. She happens to find me incredibly sweet and refreshingly honest and original.

Both of us are very self confident.

I think its ridiculous for you to make a statement like that. I would think that you would be smart enough to realize that sometimes two people just work.

And for some people, they'd rather work less hours, earn a little less money, just so they can do those little things.

It's different strokes for different folks. Just depends what your priorities are.

Just the people who are clueless assholes. I have the self confidence to do that.
