Siccness College folks

Damn thats awesome. I feel like you deserve an ice cold beer

Haha yeah man that can be one lonely ass lifestyle. Its not for a person with kids or a wife. I remember several guys getting divorces and ruining there home life for that life. Some guys had travel trailers and there wives and kids would go with em. Which is the smartest way cause then the 100$ a day per diem is pocketed rather than using it for a hotel and eating out. I worked with a guy he said hed been married 7 times!! I did it for two years and said fuck this. I still weld and get paid real good but not as much as the pipline but atleast i go home everyday

I have a bachelors in business administration. I would not have been able to land the job I have now if it weren't for my degree. So yeah, college is not for everyone. If you don't want to go that path, no problem, but don't act like a degree is meaningless. That just makes you sound bitter

I went to college for two years after HS, dropped out and tried to get into the trades, but I wanted to get into the unions, unions run San Francisco, anyway I spent three years waiting to get in, hella politics and eventually I got tired of waiting and went back and finished school at 25.

I'm now 27 and work a sales job but make damm good money and I didnt even really think about doing this before hand I just applied to every job I could find and landed this one.

You don't know whats out there until you go look

I should be graduating with my bachelors this year in psychology, it has been hard work sacrifice and perseverance' Lost my dad along the way but used that as inspiration

My boy graduated from uc davis, came back, and could not find a job for hellla long... A d when he did it was a job that didnt even require any kind of degree it was a bicycle store. Probably the smartest muthafucka i know, and hes white, lol that shit is hella depressing... I think he got political science degree so i know theres better shit to study to get a job after, but still. Costed at least 100k and never got him a job

Oviously its good to go to college if u can, but be careful how much you time and money you invest/owe to your education... Because college dosent guarentee a job

200 college credits and counting....keeps me out of trouble, and still $0 in student loan debt...

For the record the whole college aint for me excuse is nothing but utter bullshit. I'm not saying its the only way by any means.

I graduated high school with a 1.7 GPA... yeah a D average.... they only let me graduate because less than 50% of us did and they needed numbers bad. I was out hustlin and robbin when I wasn't playing sports. My only goal in life was an illegal way.

Hood tales is what changed me and made me believe there has to be a better way.

I remember bitches used to even doubt me when I told them I was going to school and what type of money I could make in those days, legally. Its laughable thinking about those convos.

I have graduated from all of my degree programs with GPAs between 3.25 and 3.7.

Believe in yourself and let money be the motivation.

People with access to free college need to utilize it while its available. How bout all the foreign broads if for nothing else? lmao.... Get that money mayne

Kind of funny you said that like that. I am contemplating emancipating my daughter in high school so she can potentially qualify for a hardship scholarship to Harvard. I'm not saying I'm going to but it may be an option. She is a 3.7 GPA student in HS, so she is capable of doing well in college. Even C students at Harvard get high paying jobs because their resume says Harvard. Might as well go for the gusto....just trying to keep her focused that there are better options than "State" schools. If she gets a full ride wherever she goes I already told her she can keep every cent I have saved up for her to go to college. If that ain't motivation.....

Currently go to a local CC, got one more semester and I'll have my AAS in Cisco Networking Technology finished.

After that I'll probably finish up the other AAS I started a few years ago, got about 15 credits to finish an AAS in Programming and System Analysis.

This time next year both should be wrapped up.

Even though it's early, congrats. I worked heavily with Cisco routers and switches when I built military computer systems and networks, I never did get my cert though because it wasn't necessary for what I do now but still nice to have and opens other doors. Powerful stuff.

Yeah one cool thing about this program I'm in is they give us a voucher to take CCNA for free when we finish up a series of 4 classes within the program. I still got a Linux Red Hat voucher I can use from some elective classes I took last year.

People bag on Community Colleges, but they definitely set you up for relevant work related certs.

Speaking of Cisco, this is on my to read list. Any tips for practical applications? I was thinking of a ghost shell or something to prac on.

Get Cisco Packet Tracer to practice with. Practice labs are pretty easy to find online to get practice in.

Cisco Networking Academy

I believe your mom went to collage. She told me

Just start saying haa haaaa haaaaaa again, we all know it's you. Why wait a month pretending like you usually do?
