Recession coming

[Tyrone Bigguns]

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.

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.

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.

First, dope, they aren't giving you bennies...so to think that they just double your wage is dumb. Once again showing your ignorance of the real world.

Second, english is hardly a powderpuff major. You would have a hard time in it, since it regularly requires more than one hour of study per credit hour. Try reading 800 pages in a week..and writing papers. It requires the ability to read, comprehend, analyze and then put your own ideas down on paper...something you haven't shown the least ability to do. Plus, you actually have to be able to write..something you haven't shown either.

Do you ever wonder how those of us "powderpuff" majors got ahead in life..with no apparent job skills. Think.

Glad you know what benefits they offered me. I get full benefits if I want.

I guess I can't write either now. I guess how I type on the forum says everything... Right...

Skin hasn't gotten anywhere but to the couch to watch his kids.

Again, you're making assumptions and you have no idea what you're talking about.

Elaborate, if you could. I want to hear how that works.

What assumptions am i making? I've read your posts..you are a poor speller to say the least. Your sentence composition is poor as well.

Benefits..you can get them if you want. Oh, is that how real companies operate when you are FTE? No. If you want, means that they will ask you to pay...ahhh...so your salary is decreased.

Or are you saying that you declined the bennies. this outta be good.

And, we all note how you dropped your foolish and stupid English as a powderpuff major.

And failed to answer how those of us with no job skills like you managed to get ahead. Tick, tock...the clock is ticking.

Sorry, missed your post....asked the same question..or rather posited the answer.

I hire people all the time, including people with engineering degrees. I'd never look down my nose at an English major, or any other Liberal Arts degrees.

Well, that is certainly stupid. Ask partial..it is a powderpuff degree.

You most likely do that because just like you assess the engineer..you want people who are bright, can communicate, and most importantly think and analyze...which aren't solely the province of engineers.

How does it not work? I can get health insurance, 401k matching, etc. I match the 401k and thats it. What is there to "hear how it works". Get a job, then talk.

Have you heard of contract labor? I am paid hourly. I can work as many hours as I want up to 40, and get the same benefits regardless of how many hours I work. Being in IT I think you'd be smarter than that. I take 401k and use my parents health care, etc since I am in college.

Who said anything about anyone not having job skills? That was probably you if anyone.

Again, you "can" get health insurance.

That means you have to pay for it.

No no, thats not what I said. It's a powderpuff major in college. Requires no skills. Getting ahead with in anything requires skills.

Ah, contract labor..and you don't think they pay more for a contractor then a normal employee. You think they just double your contract wage when you start. Oh, lord.

Why do you use your parents health...BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR YOUR BENEFITS.

Wrong, idiot. Writing is a skill. Analyzing is a skill. Comprehension is a skill..one that can be refined.

If it was a powderpuff major..do you think law school's would accept so many of them? It is just too easy.

Sure wish you wouldn't make these comments.
To me it means either you are terribly jaded by your youth...or maybe you discriminate based on gender. I don't think you would ever make these comments toward a woman that is staying home with her children while they are small. Having a parent (either gender)at home to take care of children before they get in school is priceless!!

I really don't care what Skin does nor do I have any prejudice against anyone who chooses this path. I like to give him crap.
