I need a change in life

Auntie ShibbyAuntie Shibby HorribleVisalia, CARegistered User, ClubPA regular
edited August 2008 in Social Entropy++
For the past four months I've been unemployed and pretty much doing nothing but getting blitzed and playing video games. I've looked for jobs, at least over fifty or so and I've only have had 3 interviews. None resulting in me being hired. I'm getting sick of my current condition in life, not having a job and being drunk pretty much 24/7.

Has anyone tried, or know anyone for that matter tried schooling? Not like a real college, but something like ITT Tech, Merit, or Coleman College?

    I know a lot of people who went through the U of Phoenix and have pretty decent jobs with their credentials.

    Just find a local community college and take some 20 dollar-a-unit courses. Something. Oakland is offering $63,000 base pay for policemen, though you'd have to, uh, be a cop in Oakland

    Yea, see, here's the thing about that.

    Most people who say that only get about a year or so into college. In which case, yep, it's a bit of a rehash. It's after they weed out the fools that it starts to get pretty good and pretty interesting.

    Most people who have jobs don't have jobs in the field they went to school for, doesn't matter because they still have jobs.

    It's nice how the guy comes in here and says he wants to change things around, yet people just shit on him with bitterness.

    Shibby, I've known some really smart kids who just didn't want to do the usual trudge through college. My neighbor for instance is going to a tech school in the area to become work on cars. He's not going down the usual mechanic path, but he still gets to do a lot of hands on things.

    Good luck with it
