Recession coming

[MadtownPacker]

Ha. Back in my foolish days it was way too much playing video games and sitting around shooting the shit with the roomate and whatnot. That, and sleeping.

That's how you spent your "foolish days"??

Hahahahaha!! Now I understand why you fear the hood. Try getting arrested sometime. Might scare the lame out of you.

Skin, you're truly an idiot. The number you quoted includes as the jokers like you who pretend to have a CS degree and thus get paid significantly less. It includes all the business chumps in the IT field who do phone support, etc.

According to UWM career center, these are the 2007 averages:

Web Designed - 47k
QA associate - 52,250
Web Developer - 54,750
Developer/Program Analyst - 55,250
E-commerce Analyyst - 61,250
Systems Analyst - 61,500

But again, Skin, you know more than everybody and your made up stats are more accurate than the actual statistics from the UWM career center.

Like I said, I'm shooting for 50k and with my current job I should be making almost 55 according to the average. With my grades and experience I don't think its unreasonable to expect to exceed that total.

So there you go. You're full of shit. You're an idiot who likes to stroke his ego by calling himself an engineer despite going to college to write and read books . You're off you're rocker if you think how someone writes on here has any impact on the real world or who they are as a person. I'm not going to bother addressing any more of your posts in this thread because what the hell do you know?? You claim you're an engineer when you're a stay at home dad with an english degree. You got lucky and found a wife who is willing to tolerate your attitude. I am sure you're acting like a big phony prick on here, because I all but guarantee you wouldn't have a wife if this is how you acted in the real world. But again, you'll never acknowledge that..

I take it you don't actually know how to read the source I quoted. Unfortunate, really. We cured polio, but still can't stave off adult illiteracy. Or was that adult idiocy?

The average salary for jockeys is 26,000, but guess what? You're not a jockey. You aren't any of those things Partial. You are a Comp Sci major. Pull all the numbers you want for things you aren't and ignore the numbers I posted about what you are, a Comp Sci major. It seems to make your argument a lot easier. The rest of us don't know WTF you're trying to prove, but it is occasionally entertaining.

So there you go. Another grand victory in your own mind.

I'm perfectly content with what I am, plan to be, and what I have been. I've lived my life for me, my wife, and my kids. Not for what I think my father wants of me so I can replace him in this world without dropping the royal scepter. I can only assume you make yourself feel better by constantly launching what you think are stinging personal attacks on whoever doesn't agree with your delusions of grandeur so you can go tell your girl how you put the smack down on some jerk on a forum and she can nod like she's interesting in what you're saying. At the same time, you're obviously intimidated by my previous job title, while I hold no worth in it whatsoever. You're jealous of my life, but continue to belittle it. You claim what someone posts on here doesn't reflect who they are, yet you base everything you know about me (while at the same time magically psychoanalyzing my real life personality) by what I post . You're a complete mess.

And since you're fixated on my personal life, my wife likes me fine. I'm sure sometimes she even loves me. She doesn't mind how I treat people who act like douchebags. It's the same way I treated douchebags when she met me and she happens to find it refreshing and original, not to mention very sweet. Not every girl is looking for confused, insecure, self important, delusional, misogynistic, racist college boys who live with their parents and throw all their money on the table at the first sign of trouble after all, it would seem.

It took longer that I thought it would though for you to throw all your insults at me and then run away. I remember kids in grade school doing that all the time, too.

I think i have a man crush on Skin.

[SkinBasket]

You're only saying that because we're both oppressed by Partial's silent majority that lives in his head. We're more like war buddies fighting an army of doped-up poop-slinging monkeys in party hats.

[Partial]

The point is Skin, that you're wrong. You think you know more about the way things are then the people who actually live them. You're telling me how much money I will make when statistics from my school tell me otherwise. Who am I to believe? I would think the people who dedicate their live to placing students and getting them good jobs are a little more accurate that mr. mommy.

[Scott Campbell]

What areas would be good to "gently" guide her toward looking ahead to college and a career?

We often get so caught up in academic achievement that not enough emphasis is placed on developing fully functioning social skills.


Exhibit A

I went to school in physics & grad school in computer science, worked in companies making software for scientific instruments.

The point is Partial, that you're wrong - a lot. You think you know more about the way things are than the people who actually live them. And whenever someone challenges you, you go berzerko and tell them their idiots, insult them, and attempt to belittle them in any way you can and usually without the assistance of logic in your arguments. I don't give a shit how much you make and I'm not the one telling you how much you will make. A published study on placement of your degree is.

Of course the career center wants to put up the best numbers they can. They want prospective and current students to believe they'll be successful, otherwise the students go somewhere else. That's why they typically publish self-reported numbers from graduates. Funny thing is, the unsuccessful grads typically don't feel like reporting back that they're failures or that they're making 15k below the reported grad median in their first job as a restaurant host. Of course, this doesn't really bother the career center.

It's become comical how your attacks and criticisms of other posters have been amazingly stark reflections of yourself more than anyone else. At first I thought you were trying to play some grand ironic joke, but the punchline never came. Who knows, April fools is just around the bend.

you think that's funny!? I'll kill him, I'll fucking kill him. I'll sneak into his gated community and set his house on fire. Then its back home through iowa. You don't think I can find you, after all those pictures you posted? I'll fucking kill you too.

There's gonna be a lot of orphaned kids next week who are better off . No video games in orphanages. No neurotic moms raising hissy fits over a B+ in math.

OK Skin whatever you say. You've told me I'll make 35k and likely 42k or something to that effect, when I already make more than that if I worked 40 hours a week full time.

Its funny. You think you know more about my life and those with similiar attributes than I do when you went to school with a powderpuff major and are citing a figure that includes other powder puff majors into the same field as mine.

Funny.

[SkinBasket]

Funny.

No. It's not funny really. But by all means, continue to judge other people's degrees from schools you couldn't get into while at the same time telling them they know nothing about your major. Now that's funny.
