I do much more than one person could do alone

holy shit. youre SO FULL OF YOURSELF that i wanna kick your *** just to put you in your place. why do you think youre better than ****ing everyone here? youre in highschool. you arent a ****ing ''business man''. and then again, you didnt even consider how ****ed this economy is at the moment. please remove that banner from your signature. that company doesnt exist and never will, and if it does, will never succeed.

It's funny. I agree with you unless I meet them in purpose. I suppose it is just a coincidence I have a prestigious group of people who can't wait until they can hire me full time.
No I have not used a thesaurus. I prefer using my own brain.

You bring up a good point. But if you've studied past trends in economics, you'd know that the money isn't in being an engineer. I can outsource that in a heartbeat and I'm willing to bet 10:1 odds that they will be able to develop a better product for a better price.

But thank you for your two cents. It has been more knowledgeable than most others //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

ohh my friend but the money is in engineering as I will be one of few structural engineers involved in actual demolition of buildings rather than the construction. My father is currently the VP of a demolition company and also owns a rigging company inside of the company that employees him. We plan to start our own demoliton, asbestos removal, and rigging companies once I get my masters degree.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Since when does college inflict on what your education is?


College is a joke, if I or my parents had invested 30-40$k into a non-refundable joke, I too would be quite upset.

Whats with all these college bound nut huggers thinking it takes loads of money or some specialy named university to teach you the same shit you could learn off a fucking computer.? Who says we even need a college education to suceed in life? That person who came up with that slogan is a fucking moron! Since when does the sucess in life come at a price to pay for you to be able to be coincider by fellow Americans as knowledgable just because you went to college? When did life have to be all about greed? Why is sucessfullness measured on the amount of income? As I recall the Constitution says "And The Pursuit of Hapiness". Life is all about being happy and knowing you dont need money to make yourself better.

I'm getting to the point where my attitude regarding college is starting to parallel my views on religion: Follow your calling but, for fuck's sake, don't evangelize to me the importance of education. Higher learning is like good company; it has it's merits but having to pay for it is really nothing to brag about. What could I possibly learn for $40,000.00 that I couldn't otherwise research online or at a local library?

What is commonly referred to as "education" isn't so much what you know, rather how long you've learned for and whom you've learned from; a quantifiable sentence of scholastic trial following which you are deemed "educated," even if you bare the intellectual stamina of a retail clerk. And all for what? A fighting chance to settle your debt by working someplace where your skill, your talent, your life experience, even your ambitions take a back seat to the number of years you spent in the classroom? Are you fucking serious?

Right about now is when I begin to hear all the counter-arguments from the offended college apologists, desperately defending the practice of paying for their education. Well, no shit! If I had thirty or forty grand sunk into a nonrefundable venture, I too would have a strong interest in promoting the idea that I'm in some way investing in my future; some people simply need the training wheels on a bit longer than others.

The OP obviously seems quite out of his range, but if you have the money and know the right people then why not? No need to bring "college education" into it. I did'nt take one semester of college before I dropped out to make more money. Just my .02 cents

wow somebody's butthurt because he couldn't afford college...try going to a company and telling them you didn't go to college but you learned everything on the internet, I bet they'll hire you immediately //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

wow, you obviosuly do not know much about taking the field engineer exam, which requires 4 years of undergraduate study. The FE offers decent jobs, but not really, to really succeed as an engineer you need to get your PE, or professional engineering degree which is an extremely long test that most people have to take atleast 3 times to pass. good luck doing that online. Also, how about doctors who go to med school and take anatomy classes of the human body so they can be our surgeons, once again good luck learning that online. Or my sister for example, who is an eye doctor, who went to optometry school AFTER 5 years of undergrad, so a total of 9 years of extra education after highschool.. once again good luck learning that online. Sound like someone is a little butt hurt because they were either too moronic (which is most likely the case) or either too much of a fuck up to get into college. Cool life bro. Also people with higher education are just deemed more exceptable in todays society, 20 years or more ago yes, you could have gotten away with not having a college education. My father does not have a college education and he is the VP of a multibillion dollar demolition company. His year end bonus alone last year was probably more than most people make in 5-10 years. But people can no longer get jobs like that without high levels of education. I would much rather be at work than college. I call work the "easy way out." I will probably work much harder in college than I plan to do once I actually have my job. The harder you work in college the easier your life will be outside of school. That is a FACT.

Agreed

Very good points although college isn't meant for everyone, neither is money that was a joke lol but somewhat true

Just out of curiosity have you ever had a job? If I had to choose either just going to school or just working I would take school all day. Having to do both school and work is what is difficult. Just going to school is very easy.

my dad may have a lot of money but i'll tell you one thing, I am NOT spoiled I got a car bought for me in high school, but otherwise i have to pay for everything that I can. I do get a little help when I need it but that's it. That's why I can't wait to have MY OWN money.

Not even. College was paid outright in cash compared to the free-riders and government aided losers. I work for a very good company in fact now. With no prior education other than reading a book and passing a test. You have it down pretty much to a "T". I went straight to them and told them I'm looking for work and have prior knowledge but no college etiquette. Worked for the company HCP(High Country Pipeline)for 2 years right out of high school and they are contracted to pipeline all over the country. Then being laid off just recently, I still was able to get a job with CSM(copper spur metalworks) and nothing prior was needed other than my previous employers and I still make roughly the same annual income as before.

Thanks for your interest though. I'm doing just fine //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Yes, I have had multiple jobs as well as a couple internships. I would also take school as well as I know I will not have to work as hard once I am out.

Yup, and w/o college education, the pay ceiling is A LOT lower.
