[quote="Short Hand":59c0c]how much ? ? (i know its from the acident).[/quote:59c0c]

still early, havent made an offer, but after comparing with other people it should be over 100k

I had allways planed to go into policing, but in the last year I have been put off compleatly after meeting some of the people going into the course, who are stuck up assholes. I think id enjoy the job just not the people. So then I was thinking of going into heavy equipment mechanics, but Again, most people thatgo into the feild seem so trashy and I dont know if id want to do it till im 55. One of my teachers told me I should try to go into aircraft mechanics, so im working at an airport now seeing how I like it. Last year I worked as a security guard at a hospital, Absolutly loved the job too bad its not exactly a great carrer path. Last wensday I went to a seminar with allmost all of the collages in ontario putting on presentations, now im even more confused because nothing really interested me. Iv got a stack of about 15 collage course books now to sort trough.

u take design and engineering? i took it for 2 years, comes in handy in welding now.

Going to College or University....

If I go to College I'm going to get a degree in Computer Enginerring

and If I decide to go to University I'm going for a History degree or a Film Studies degree....pretty hard to make up my mind were I wanna go.

Finish college and get my BS Degree in Electrical Engineering.

Hopefully either stay at my co-op at Kodak or find a better job.

My plans are to retire in another 15yrs and have my condo in Florida all set up.

work in a museum...

Go to college for Music Composition or Music Education with a minor in Music Performance.

Then hopefully get a nice wife and kids.

Been there...done that.

Enlist in the air force, still not exactly what job, but most likely a mechanic, either make it a career, or just be in for awhile. then college maybe, and get married, have kids, and live on, dream on.

go to college for computer programming and design or music recording (still have another year or so to think about it), then enlist in the army reserve, after my session is over ill find a steady job with a nice pay, not a bill gates salary even though that would be nice but something to keep me alive and well. find the right woman somewhere in between all that stuff...

That's 2nd option for me kus I'm studying history at university & have no clue wtf I can do with it in civvy street.

AFter high school, i'm going to take a year off, save up money, and go on a trip and save more money for school, I'm probably going to end up in college, but not sure what I wanna do yet.

I ended up somewhat sidetracked... funny how that happens.

Original plan was Full Sail in 2006, and Pixar by 2008.

I graduate in March with my assoc. and am moving to Atlanta this week. Once there I will be working... probably with a media corp. or in high tech industry.
Since I'll be in Atlanta instead of Flordia, I'm debating whether to take the time to go to Orlando, or just find an equivilant in media arts and production there...

Either way, the goal is still Pixar by 2008. rock:

I want to start my own magazine

Afterthoughts...

Most of you guys are in High School, and I personally had a very difficult time after high school, trying to figure out which direction to go, what I wanted to do, ect.

. If you have never served in the armed forces... consider it. It is one of the most memorable and self-empowering experiances a free man can have. It will change your life, your outlook on the world, and give you an excellent jump-off point to any career you persue afterwards.

. College, do it. I am not from a wealthy familly, I have paid my own way. If you are also not sure how you will be able to pay for school, trust me it can be done with a bit of determination and some clever financing. Vertran status helps big too!

. Distance learning owns. I have two kids, a job, and a great many other responsibillities. I don't have time to go down and listen to a professor preach, so I utilize a distance learning program. This means that I turn on my computer, sign in and do assignments, discussion boards, and watch interactive learning videos from my office. No mid-terms, No huge classes, No driving to class.
The best part of this is I do 2 classes every 5 weeks. That means I earn a 2 year degree in 12 months! Most of the best colleges in the country now offer some kind of distance learning, it is fully accredited and respected.

Die facedown in a puddle after a 12 day heroin binge

fuck it, im getting into a fender bender and claiming whiplash.

My sister-in-law went to Full Sail and 2+ years later, she is still working a crappy job hooking up VCRs in a Hyatt. $25,000 later, she learned that it's really about who you know, not what you know. I know they claim to have a good job placement track record, however, what they don't tell you is that very few people move on, at least immediately, to "career" type jobs.

if this old fart could offer some advise....invest in an IRA ASAP. the sooner you start the better off you will be. I started way too late dont make the mistake I did. Save for your future!

after finishing college (july 05) i plan to join Her Majestys Royal Air Force rock: Maybe in Air Traffic Control

My second choice is some kind of job with computers.

Possibly go to United States Naval Academy and attain the rank of ensign on a surface ship. I could either make that a career or i could serve a bit and then get a master's degree in political science. Who knows, maybe ill run for president. oOo: Anyway, I definetly want to have a wife, and kids. And at around 50 or so after saving up money throughout my whole life I would like to start a private boarding school type of thing. Anyway, give me a call in 30 years and well see how much of that i have actually accomplished. oOo:

Great advice. Also, for those of you in the "real world" contribute to your company's 401K, especially if they match. Don't wait. And if you have kids get them a 529 plan started as soon as they have a ss#. Invest what you can afford, but do it consistently. There's nothing worse than seeing people working well into their retirement years because they didn't plan for their futures.

I start University in February. I'm doing a Communications degree at my Dad's university (where Im temping, atm), this degree at this University is probably the best in the country.

For those that don't know - Communications = Film, Journalism, TV, Radio, New Media (3D art, computers, game design etc)....

I'll probably concentrate on my writing and film...

I wanna work for some game company creating skins. If that fails, Graphic Designer, if not, then id be a Sniper in the Military.
