And now for my attempt at some after hours OFT talk.

I've been unemployed since May, which happened to coincide with USMNT World Cup qualifications, Gold Cup, and the summer of Arsene not doing a fukking thing to add to the squad. Hence my posting in this thread going up and such. Previously in life I was a collections agent, a decent one, but my heart was never in it. I survived 4 rounds of layoffs at my old job before finally getting shytcanned. Soon after, I began collecting a check from the very benevolent (:heh:) US government while smoking low grade marijuana, watching a fukkton of football and attempting to renovate a house with a friend of mine.

I decided that instead of being stuck in the collections trap like 90% of the people I know who have worked in that field, that I would attempt to launch an online business and become a member of The Coli's IT cert gang. Using the two months I spent working with the IT department at my old job as a QA assistant and the week I spent swapping hard drives out of our computers (tbf, my old job was very fly by night, we were washing old Mafia connected money by issuing payday loans amongst other atrocities), I cobbled together a resume passable enough to garner phone calls from recruiters who all have Indian last names and convincing a couple of them that I could troubleshoot computers and such. Temping for 2 different agencies has led to full time (temporary) employment, walking around a call center for a major bank swapping out old towers and installing new ones. I have a LOT of downtime, which I should be using for actual learning, but I don't truly know which direction I would like to go in with the IT world... just that I don't EVER want to work as a customer service rep/collections agent ever again. So instead I've gotten my ex to let me use her Netflix account and I'm gonna catch up on TV shows I should have watched already, when I'm not swapping computer towers or watching European football.

The online business bit never got off the ground because I was too busy trying to emulate the success of others instead of forging my own path. I walked out of 2013 completely broke, but I feel like the experience of losing a job and being unsure of, well, everything, has made me a stronger, more mature adult. I feel better prepared for the challenges of life, and goddammit I better be. I'm gonna be 25 in two months, no kids, no college, no girlfriend. The world is my oyster, ready to be harvested (pretty sure that's not how it goes but fukk it, I'm 3 drinks in and that's how it's staying now). I'm tired of having conversations about my potential. fukk potential. All there is to life is time, opportunity, and your will to put in the work to make the first two give birth to something better than what you already have. I've learned that as much as I may bytch about it, I'm more than willing to put in the work, provided there's an actual goal in mind instead of some abstract thought.

So, yeah. I'm open to suggestions and things like that. I know I need to go to school as well, but I've always thought that going into debt to prove your intelligence is fukking retarded. Eventually I'll probably get over myself and end up in someone's university, taking out loans and "investing in myself". Still seems stupid as fukk to me though :yeshrug:

avoid college if you can. sounds like you got a work ethic and skills to the point where you can get a good job and make them pay for your degrees.

or you could go to a 4 year school and clean up on p*ssy :banderas: :banderas: :banderas: the debt might be worth it if you combine that with internships when you're fresh outta school

I truly have no interest in college outside of that magical piece of parchment that suddenly qualifies me for a higher salary and the "respect" of the more stuck up slores I've met in my travels. But being old man on campus and racking up that young untamed vagina? :whoo::banderas::lawd:

It's the one regret I have, not smashing a ton of chicks in my early 20s so I would truly be in buckle down/focus/get this money/fukk bytches (not literally) mode.

Rob banks no joke

I got paid to sit on my ass and watch Arsenal beat Coventry City yesterday. Already ahead of you :jawalrus:

Hmmm, Id start with some community college first so you dont take in ridiculous amount of debt while still trying to get a full time gig. You seem smart and have picked up on a lot of things. Dont burden yourself with debt until you absolutely have too.

if you go the college route, stay off campus. Dont be the old man in the dorms. That will get you no p*ssy.


Also, dont live near campus. College girls like the ability to be a hoe but not have people know about it.
