I've got a buddy who owns a dental software company, women find him witty and muscular and like to touch him on his leg when they are seated. He forgot to get a high school diploma, but women STILL touch his leg. QED

It's been like 3 weeks and i'm not able to go to the university. My doctor is forbidding me to get out of the house for my health issues. I am thinking i should drop this semester, and wait for like 2 years till my treatment is over, so i can resume my education.
Shit, dude, 2 years? That's fucking awful. I'm half-way through a single year off and I'm already starting to go insane. Presumably it'll be even worse for you because you won't be able to do much. Dude, that really sucks. I really hope you can maintain your sanity.

I can't do anything. I had registered to the 2009 fall semester, and i have attended only 3 times to my classes. If this is going to happen for the rest 2 years, me going to the university becomes pointless.

Hey, I have a somewhat random question for you. Are you still glad that your taking a year off from school?

My girlfriends mom (whose family I live with) is about to die any day now, its a pretty shitty situation. Went to the hospital today, and the doctor and nurses had us in a room and basically explained that she's now going to pass very soon, and although her eyes may open here and there, she can't talk or anything. She had surgery about a month ago, and it was okay then, but then they found multiple brain tumors and after a week it got worse and worse.

Economy down the shitter = Need of higher degrees = better chance at getting a job = why you certainly fucking *should* get a masters degree or even better, a Ph.D

If only people were actually able to absorb that kind of debt

Which is why you pay it off, because your going to have to in the long run. In some way of course. Better find a job whenever you can that is.

What did you study?
What job are you trying to get?
Where did you interview?
When I was unemployed, I actually applied to work at Taco Bell and other fast food joints and never got calls back from people (presumably because I was overqualified for those positions).
This is probably the worst time to be job searching/graduating because the market is so crappy. You might have to make do with either a part time job or seasonal work until you find something.
Sometimes, it's also not what you know, but who you know. Knowing the right people can get you jobs that you might not previously have thought you could get. I got my current job because my girlfriend (who was only a friend at the time) dropped my name to some supervisors and told them to be on the look out for my resume to come up in the queue.

If you think you are overqualified and are out of a job go to your local Walgreens and apply as a manager or something. Seriously.

I actually enjoy my job. My only complaints are that I'm being paid about half of what I feel is the minimum that I should be making, and there are zero opportunities to meet people. There are other people my age, but they all either smoke, are married or engaged, or have at least one kid. That's the biggest culture shock I've experienced since graduation, even compared to the difficulty of finding a job, because at least I had some warning about that.
In fact, it would be nice if there was some type of orientation committee to help people prepare for this. Adults were so over-dramatic about preparting us to go to college, but everyone treats graduation and getting a job like it's no big deal. Admittedly, the career services office did mention that the job market was shit, but it would have been considerate if anyone had thought to mention that as soon as you graduate, you probably won't get laid again until you return for grad school.

I don't think higher degrees are the answer to the economy being down the shitter. Everyone would get Masters and doctorates and then there still wouldn't be enough jobs for everyone.
Besides there is no point in getting a Ph.D in anything unless you are going to be a professor or maybe you just LOOOVE academia and prolonging your childhood?
Not trolling but what is your Masters in?
