The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

I have hiccups because I drank too much, but I'm done lesson planning!

Also, I'm ultra sensitive to the Simpson references since that's my last name and I got them my entire life. I always got Lisa though. Fuck that bitch.
 
What does being poor have to do with finding funding options?

A lot? If his EFC is low enough he can get tons of need-based aid. My first two years were basically free because my dad was unemployed.

EDIT: And yeah, community college is a good idea especially if you're kind of a mediocre student right now. Get that mediocrity out of your system for your early bullshit classes and start kicking ass for your important ones. Save lots of $$$.

She's also not above being dumb like Bart, watching stupid cartoons, crank-calling and even ripping on herself at times.

Like when Bart said to someone "hey, you throw like my sister" and Lisa then says "yeah, you throw like me."
 
So I'm in 10th grade and my parents are talking to me as if I'm going to already flunk out of high school and land a job as a plumber.

If you drop out at somepoint you're just going take your GED and take classes anyways. So you might aswell stay in school. You will be working some shitty job for 50 hours a week and a chick won't even suck your cock because you'll be at the bottom of the food chain. You'll be worked a shift with some guys that work,go to school at the sametime, and make more money than you. So if I was you I would hammer on that shit. You might not even be educated enough right now to even be a plumber or build a house.
 
Being a plumber isn't the worst thing that could happen. Pay's actually pretty decent.

You should look into Co-op for the rest of your highschool career. Get grades for getting paid at work. I did it most of high school and had a huge leg up on my peers who had no real world experience down the line.

Get yourself a warehouse gig, headphones and heavy lifting. Might even learn to use a hilo and enjoy making good factory money while you decide what stupid dream education to waste it on.

If I could share one tidbit of employment knowledge with those younger than me, it would be this: don't look for someTHING you enjoy doing. Look for someWHERE you'd enjoy working. Decide what color collar you wanna wear, because once you pick it out that's the kind of jobs you'll land.

What "normal" career do you other adults wish you had pursued? I've always been sour I didn't intern at a garage. Wish I knew more about cars than I do. You make good money eventually, you save money doing your own shit, and it's a hospitable environment for my preferred music. Even your regular clients are gonna be likable because car people usually are.
