Basically, I wanna know what other people are planning on doing after they end college or high school; which jobs are they interested in. To explore my options a little bit.
Im in my sophomore year of economy, so I still have plenty of time. When I ended highschool I picked economy not because Im really passionate about it or whatever but because I didnt know what to pick and economy is IMO something that everybody at least needs a clue about it.
The reason why Im asking this is because I hate to be one of those people, who hate their jobs and end up being depressed untill they turn 60 :P
I know that Crafty is already a teacher and Wcsoldier choose human recources.

if you dont go to college you wont make money unless you have a rich family.

im not sure if anyones knows for certain what they'll end up doing after college.. for example i spent my time in college doing business studies and doing pretty well init too but im now actually a plumber and im pretty happy where i am @ in life.. 21 with a profession :)

I've got 3 more years doing Civil Engineering at Uni. After that fuck knows, might do another year (get a masters) or I might do something completely different. Just have to see what happens, you can try and plan your life but where's the fun in that.

Is it possible to become a teacher off of community college?
Otherwise, Footlocker, hollaaa.

I don't know, which is the reason why I chose to go to university in the first place ;) But I definitely don't need to have a crazy career making hundreds of gz a year or anything like that.

it's harder without college, but it's possible to be all right.
especially if you have a hustle.
I'm gonna get a degree and teach. You know who's gonna make more money than me?
Plumbers.
Carpenters.
Locksmiths.
Construction workers.
Cabinet makers.
etc etc.
People who have physical skills/hustles^^^ don't need college.
But in this digital/lazy age, fewer and fewer people have those trades/skills so those of us who take the college path will be often paying the tile layers, house painters, plumbers and locksmiths of the world.

yeah that's why i'm never going to be a teacher, you get all this schooling and you get shitty pay. it's only worth it if you get your PhD or Doctorates and get to teach at like USC or something ........but what are the chances of landing a job like that? both of my uncles were carpenters and plumbers, and yeah they got paid . but it's not like you necessarily have job secuirity, plus there's a lot of scandolous shit that goes on. yeah you can join a union, but you got to pay dues and shit and the unions at least here in cali, from what i've seen arn't that strong.
and then you got pride to think about.....i'd rather be the mother fucker payin a mother fucker to grout my tile then be the dirty bitch that has to do it for some rich snob. but with me i CAN do my own shit like that so i'll never really have the need to hire a capenter and shit.

Tell that to the owner of Virgin. He is a high school dropout and has more money than your whole block times 20.
I'm looking into becoming a broker but idk about that yet. I have so many more years of college.

But don't get paid in the summer.
-
actually you can, they just prorate it. like you can get paid every month but have smaller checks, or get paid for 9 months and get bigger checks. it's all up to you.
i had teachers in highschool that were wal mart greeters, contruction workers, chashiers, city planners, during the summer.

I have wanted to be a filmmaker since high school, but I don't think that dream is probable, even with my background in television. So I'm thinking I should go to college for IT or business and minor in film. I'm pretty happy with my job right now, working at a liquor store, but I don't see a career in it.
How's this for confused though...my neighbor went to ASU to become a neurosurgeon, but after a year he switched his major and college and is now going to school to be a hotel event planner at some community college. lol

there's also summer school to teach.
I'm gonna try to continue working for Caltrans in a more official capacity.

you won't need to goto college to get by, but if you think you can get through life selling weed and living life day to day, you are kidding yourself. i didnt goto college, went from highschool -> work and make more money now than that 'professional degree' says on the graph. at the end of the day, some people arent good in classroom type learning and self study lets you go at your own pace.
to the dude who mentioned civil engineering, my wife does that and makes a ton of money, but its always been a high paying job here in australia, not sure about the rest of the world.

That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard in my life, and you've been brainwashed.
yeah...many middle class families have brainwashed people to believe you have to get good grades in high school, go to college, do a a profession and so forth. Then you end up working a 9-5 work day for the rest of your life...
sure college is important, but the most important thing in this world is to be intelligent and know how to get around shit.
Me, I plan on going to going to college, acquire some knowledge and become an entrepreneur of some type. Technically, that doesn't require college but its better to be educated. Anyone can make money if they know how to finance well and handle their cash flow.
Economics and Finance is a great thing to study in college.
-
Shit I have no idea what I'm going to be doing when I finish college. I have an AA in Liberal Arts and will procure my BA/BS in Political Science summer '08. But I'm sick of school as it is. For my 2 degrees I will be in the hole around 25k. So essentially I will have paid all that $ for professors to attempt their hardest to indoctrinate me.
Luckily for me my brother is a basketball agent and I may get into that if the opportunity presents itself.

The problem I have with this statistic is that there are a lot of other factors as to why people with the more advanced education make more money. I mean, not to be degradful in any way, but most people who didn't finish highschool wouldn't be able to execute a job that pays very well - and that's not just because they lack that piece of paper or the knowledge they gained while studying. Do you really think a good-looking, smart genius with great social skills wouldn't find a good job, just because he doesn't have a random degree? Do you really think a fuckwit-slacker with a degree will get a bomb ass job and keep it, just cause he got that degree? I sure as hell don't... you also need to take into account the money that you pay for college, and the years it takes to get to a high degree - in those years you could have actually made mad money instead of spending mad money.

That is also true of course. If you come from a rich family, you will have no problem getting by no matter how uncapable you are.
-
well the problem with all that is you're ignoring the way the job market is heading in america. that 'paper' is now becoming mandatory to obtain certain jobs. my mom has her own day care and one of her mom's is a CPS agent. she's smart and fairly good looking, however all she had was an AA in child development or some shit. in order to promote she had to aquire a BA. she did and she got promoted.
you are right, you can become a success without that paper....but it's a LOT harder of a struggle. my mom,like i said owns her own business, and at times does VERY well for herself.....but at times she does very piss poor. she has no real retirement, insurance, or even job secuirity. the way i see it......i get my "paper" get a stable 60-75 k job WITH job secuirity WITH insurance, WITH RETIREMENT.
also a 'slacker' wouldn't really be a 'slacker' if they obtained a higher level degree. LOL the MINIMUM amount of time it takes to get a amsters degree is 6 years.....some people go to school for a decade or so. also to be able to be accepted into a masters program or a doctorate program , ect. you have to impress them with your transcript/experience. lol they just don't accept anyone (unless you have money maybe of corse). you still have to pass an intellectually challanging program to get that paper. that's something a slacker wouldn't be able to obtain
also with the $ thing. you said why pay all that money when you could use that money for something else/ make more.....lol seriously i've been going to school for 4 years and havn't paid a cent really. parking is about it. but what's 40 bucks a semester. there's soooooooooooooo many scholarships. there's so much financial aid. you can do it. not every school is USC and charges 47 k a year for tuition. lol. if your parents make shit , that's a benefit for you. you get soooooooo much financial aid from the government. and even if you have to pay education is an investment that MORE than pays off. you put in some work and follow a proven path ....you can and most likely WILL succeed. especially with the way the middle class is disappearing, you're either going to be barely getting by living pay check by paycheck....or you're going to be living a secure life.
yeah you could pick up a guitar instead of a notebook and become the mother fuckin beatles.....but what are the chances of you succeeding?
yeah you could pick up a monkey wrench, join a union and fix other peoples shit and be successful.....but are you putting into your jon more than you're getting out of it
yeah you could start your own business/restaurant/ect. but do you know how many businesses/restaurants FAIL the first time around?
the odds are against you in this society without that 'paper' ....but the odds are on your side if you have it. hell even teachers who make SHIT have a better open window because there's so much possibility to improve their status in that field QUICKLY and EASILY if you don't stay stagnant.

^^^I can comment on some of that too...
I went to college for four years - of the 52 dudes that lived on my floor in my dorm only 12 (that I know of) ended up graduating. I had lots of friends that quit because they couldn't see themselves "waisting time" at school. I still keep up w/ some of these dudes and they're doing stuff like bartending, manual labor, army, whatever. And it's all gravy to me, if they're happy more power to them. But these cats are still living the exact same life we lived when we were 18 - and they're all 26,27 years old. No growth whatsoever - living check to check, not able to save a dime. And again, I'm not hatin at all, to each his own.
And don't even get me started on people I know that I graduated high school with and never pursued anything else. They're still living in that shit hole town, not doin a got damn thing. They still dip on these high school broads that are like damn near 10 years younger than them, it's disgusting.
But for me, I put in the work at school, worked my way through the ranks and after just over 3 years I'm making $80k plus quarterly bonuses, and I got $30k signing bonus when I moved out here. And my job is easy - I take cats out to lunch, get heavily involved in multi-million $ projects all around the country, play golf, etc etc etc. Shit if I'm doing this at my age (26) I should really be ballin in another 5. I've got 2 seperate retirement accounts - 401k and Roth IRA which will be worth literally millions by the time I'm in my 50's (granted, tomorrow isn't promised). I got health insurance, so I aint trippin off of goin to the doctor and gettin medicine and shit.
And in being in my line of work, I've seen so many businesses fail it's unreal. I've seen lots of people that quit their 9to5 to try and start their own business only to fail and lose their life savings at the same time. Yes there are people that succeed, and thats fuckin dope. But I've seen smart people get into business for themself and fail miserably.
So yeah college put me up on all that. I absolutely would not have my job w/o my degree. But you know what else? College was EASILY the most fun and the most I've ever learned in my life. I wouldn't trade that experience for any amount of money.
Bottom line is, there are many routes to take and anyone that chooses what they choose is good for them.

Well but to get there you have to do something else than just getting your degree. I doubt you will be paid like that automatically just cause you got that degree, mayne.
also a 'slacker' wouldn't really be a 'slacker' if they obtained a higher level degree. LOL the MINIMUM amount of time it takes to get a amsters degree is 6 years.....some people go to school for a decade or so. also to be able to be accepted into a masters program or a doctorate program , ect. you have to impress them with your transcript/experience. lol they just don't accept anyone (unless you have money maybe of corse). you still have to pass an intellectually challanging program to get that paper. that's something a slacker wouldn't be able to obtain
I agree you can't be a slacker and get every masters degree or a doctorate degree. But it could be possible to be quite lazy and still get certain master degrees. I'm not saying you can be a dumbfuck, a slacker and a drug addict all at the same time and still get a degree man. I'm just saying that being able to obtain a degree doesn't automatically imply that you're fit to do the job.
also with the $ thing. you said why pay all that money when you could use that money for something else/ make more.....lol seriously i've been going to school for 4 years and havn't paid a cent really. parking is about it. but what's 40 bucks a semester. there's soooooooooooooo many scholarships. there's so much financial aid. you can do it. not every school is USC and charges 47 k a year for tuition. lol. if your parents make shit , that's a benefit for you. you get soooooooo much financial aid from the government. and even if you have to pay education is an investment that MORE than pays off. you put in some work and follow a proven path ....you can and most likely WILL succeed. especially with the way the middle class is disappearing, you're either going to be barely getting by living pay check by paycheck....or you're going to be living a secure life.
I'm not gonna lie, you getting a masters degree education for free in the US is news to me. I always thought of it as a fairly expensive to really expensive investment.
yeah you could pick up a guitar instead of a notebook and become the mother fuckin beatles.....but what are the chances of you succeeding?
yeah you could pick up a monkey wrench, join a union and fix other peoples shit and be successful.....but are you putting into your jon more than you're getting out of it
yeah you could start your own business/restaurant/ect. but do you know how many businesses/restaurants FAIL the first time around?
Getting a degree and working 9 to 5 with retirement is definitely much less of a risk, that's a no-brainer.
the odds are against you in this society without that 'paper' ....but the odds are on your side if you have it. hell even teachers who make SHIT have a better open window because there's so much possibility to improve their status in that field QUICKLY and EASILY if you don't stay stagnant.
I'm not talking down college at all man.. do your thing, get that white paper and then get that green paper.. ya dig? I'm just saying you have been exaggerating with those pics and shit ya dig.
Also, what I want to add:
Yes people with a high degree make more money, but that's also because of those factors:
-Having a high degree, they are more likely to come from a rich family. The advantages of coming from a rich family are endless and obvious so I won't name them all, but the more subtle ones include that coming from a rich family their parents are more likely to be smart and successful, which makes them more likely to be that way as they inhereted their parents' genes and get raised by them.
-Having a high degree, they are less likely to be slackers. Not being a slacker is of course a good thing when it comes to getting paid.
etc, I don't feel like going on... my point is just while having a high degree, the people just tend to have the better opportunities, but not necessarily because of the degree
So yeah college put me up on all that. I absolutely would not have my job w/o my degree.
I'm 100% sure of that, but give your degree to some random guy and watch him not doing shit with it... it's not just you having that degree and you knowing what you learned while getting it, it's also you. Ya dig? Anyways, I have a homie that is shooting the likes of Snoop and Ja Rule and he just got started... yet he has no paper that says he can photograph or do graphical work... aside from his own practical work, that is.

I don't know if I've been brainwashed or whatever but to me it doesn't matter. Around here, if you wanna be somebody you gotta go to school. Al these "hustlers" you guys are talking about always end up broke with bills to pay because they're trying to live large. The people I see in my neighborhood are lazy and ignorant. They say "School won't help me blah blah blah" but they're sitting there all broke. While others with a nice house are always watching college football rooting for their school, COLLEGE! I might be wrong, but most of these college kids end up being successful men, while all these high school drop-outs end up living in their mom's crib till their 40's.
I'll take college.

Word, it's not automatic by any means. I know some peeps that have a degree, yet do nothing in that field and aren't doin much either. It's 100% about your drive to succeed at what you are doing. If your dream is to be a surgeon, you're not eligible unless you have a degree. Many other professions out there don't require schooling, it's all about your drive and fundamental understanding of the field in order to be successful.
Anybody that thinks a degree equals automatic fortune is playin themself. But it's no doubt that the average cat w/ a degree makes more than the average cat w/o one. But in no way does that mean you can't make millions w/o a degree.

Most likely webdesign/multimedia shit. I've secured an intern position for myself in a company that makes all kinds of media stuff - websites, DVD's, 3D-modeling, animation... Plus they sell this polling software & hardware they've developed, and I'd like to take a crack at being a sales rep for those things, if they give me the chance when the internship is over and if they still want me around. :laugh: It would be a cool place to work 'cause they doo many kinds of things I've studied in the university* here, and also expand upon that.
*(I don't know if they have these elsewhere, but I go to what's called a "university of applied sciences". Basically it means less books, more learning by doing. The regular universities are more of the "read books, study for theory exams, hang around the campus"-variety.)
And to go to college or not to go - different strokes for different folks. No homo. For some it's the way, some know what they want to do and how to do it without college. I think it's easier for most to get a well paying job if you get a college degree, but it certainly does not guarantee one and it certainly doesn't mean you can't get a well paying job without a degree.

I'm 18 and I'm on my final year of gymnasium (it's kind of the same as senior high school as far as I know). It's an HTX (Higher Technical Exam), I don't know what I wanna do for living, but after this I'm gonna have a sabbath year where I just work and moves out in an apartment, away from my family :)
I'm probably also gonna travel a lot when I earned some money for it.
But I really have no idea what I'm gonna do for a living.
-
it's harder without college, but it's possible to be all right.
especially if you have a hustle.
I'm gonna get a degree and teach. You know who's gonna make more money than me?
Plumbers.
Carpenters.
Locksmiths.
Construction workers.
Cabinet makers.
etc etc.
People who have physical skills/hustles^^^ don't need college.
But in this digital/lazy age, fewer and fewer people have those trades/skills so those of us who take the college path will be often paying the tile layers, house painters, plumbers and locksmiths of the world.
-T
this is quiet a misconception that all people with physical trades are making loads of money... for instant people like painters, tilers, locksmiths provide a decent service but they're line of work is limited, so the money coming in is usually round a certain figure..
Its the physical trades where you need to have gone to college that are the real big money jobs (e.g. plumbers, carpenters, electriains) because thats where the jobs are more varied and you are priced on different services (best example for instance was today.. i had two run two pipes from a flat into a lobby hallway, took me like 40mins and worked out around £55 / 110usd's... But yesterday i did exactly the same apart from running the pipes from the lobby into a riser (water) cupboard, and because water was involved in the job i got £68 / 136usd's and it only took me 20mins extra)
basically if your willing to work hard and do the long hours (my usual day is around 12/13 hrs) then the rewards are very pleasing.. only downside is if i dont work then i dont get paid and same for holidays too

Fuck man...I'm in my last year of high school, and got no fucking clue what to do after i'm done this year :-\
i'd love to become a sports agent on the real...i think i can do it, but 2 be honest, i don't even know what path u have 2 take 2 become one :D
i'd love to go into trades, but honestly i'm in a fucked position LOL...i love to write and shit, but i ain't all that interested in going 2 college/uni...but i would most likely suck at trades, because i'm not hands on like that :-\

So you get no help from your family? That's effed up. Are you an outcast to them? I mean seriously I just can't believe that. I understand them not spoiling you into a lazy good-for-nothing type of nigga, but c'mon I'm sure they got a helping hand and some green for ya.
Sure, I get help, when I really need it...But like you said, I haven't been spoiled into the good-for-nothing rich kid type. My direct family isn't even multimillionaires like that, just comfortably wealthy. It's not like I don't work for what I have, like some people make it seem. Nothing was handed to me...PeACe

College? All I know is to make money and live...
Not everybody can inherit a business homie.
You inherited a business?
hell naw, I was alluding to your parents putting you up on game. Is that not the case?
No...who the hell told you that?
Well if your parents / family are in to real estate investing, you can't sit here and tell me they didn't put you up on game and give you money to help get you started. I'm not trippin off that at all, I'm just saying that not everybody is in that position.

Ummm, I learned the business through observing my family, but they didn't give me anything out of the ordinary. ANYONE can learn it. The most money my parents gave me at once was like 200 bux for my birthday or something. You act like I'm all special...LOL.

Yeah, I ain't gonna front. My folks gave me my car and paid for some of my college.

tradesmen here in australia are probably the most highly paid peeople in the country, they're making a fuckload of money simply because we've had a housing boom happening all over the country here for the last 6-7 years, and it shows no hope of slowing down anytime soon. kids are dropping out of highschool in year 10, making like $60-70k/year with no highschool diploma or anything

He's basically just saying you don't need college to be succesful, and he's right...The system is a joke (not saying it can't help you), but many people do fall victim to it and get brainwashed into believing that going with the system is the only way in this life, and end up just wasting a nice chunk of their youth...PeACe

So what kind of investing do you do? Speculative dirt purchases, improved land, residential / commercial....what? Or do you just broker deals? If you are buying and selling real estate there's no way in hell you came up with the equity yourself. Even if you got 100% no doc loans (which were common over the last few years, not now though) you would have had to have your parents or someone else as a co-signer guarantor.
