shit..haha im tired.. i meant female male ratio haha sorry. thats a good thing. alright cool i hope its better than HS.
So you are going to a liberal arts college, am I right? It is either that or it's nursing or dental hygiene. If it's anything to do with liberal arts, then cancel your enrollment immediately and go to a college that trains you for a job that will probably pay you money.
Every statistic I have ever heard puts women at a lower pay rung than men. But gender is not the issue. If he is majoring in nursing or dental hygiene, then it is not an issue. If he is in liberal arts, then it is an issue. He is training to be either very indebted well after graduation or homeless.
My experiences with college are that the method of learning is too slow, tedious, and married to tradition in order for my patience. I would just focus on doing your homework so that you don't fall behind. Besides that, just be your crazy self, and you'll attract people you have stuff in common with.
Ya i think its liberal arts haha. So far im goin for psychology and if im up for it maybe it psychiatry.hmm maybe ill just go to film school or somethin..Ill probably transfer somewhere..i was also considering going for graphic design or some kind of computer science..thatd be cool.
Thank you..Finally someone who sees that the traditional methods of eduacation are flawed and not efficient..youve officially gained my respect haha..but ya i hope i can find someone who has something in common with me.
I shouldn't have suggested that you cancel your enrollment immediately. That was just my gut instinct talking. Realistically, you can't just cancel your enrollment and go to another college that will actually help you immediately, mainly because college applications take time. Don't worry, you are not fucked. A better solution, as you already figured, is to attend the first quarter or the first semester, maybe even the first year, and transfer your credits to a college that will help you land a real job. Just make sure that the courses you take are what will count for relevant transfer credits, such as algebra, English, humanities or other "electives," which every major requires, at the college that you plan to graduate from. You can pay a visit to the registrar's office of your current college or call the registrar's office of the other college to find out what courses those should be, and you can rearrange your schedule within the first week, if necessary, and trade your textbooks without losing money.
ok haha thanks for your advice. I really dont know what i wana do yet. So many things im interested in. I really dont know. I relly want a good paying job that ill be able to be creative in. Id love to be able to use creativity to make money.
You have plenty of such options, but they are not the sexy jobs that immediately come to mind when you think "creative." Here are some of those options:
It's college. There's bound to be nerds.
Heck, maybe every job is a job in psychology. I have met a lot of psychology majors working jobs that have only a faint connection to the field. A good way to go about college is to major in something that directly relates to your planned job. If you want to do social work, then you can actually major in social work, and you will have much better odds. That way, college is not a waste of time, money, energy, and intelligence. If that is what college is to you, then why do it? To get the piece of paper that may slightly increase your odds of getting hired for a full-time job? There is a much better way to go about getting money. You don't even need college--a certified trade school in plumbing will be far better than a degree in fucking psychology. If you major in something that helps you achieve your end goal, then college is most certainly not a waste of time, money, energy, and intelligence. If you want to be a professional land surveyor, for example, you really have no choice but to get a Bachelor's degree in land surveying. After you graduate, it wasn't a waste of anything, because (1) you learned exactly what you need to excel at your job, (2) you did what you needed to get that job, and (3) you have a huge portion of your tuition paid for by scholarships from people who desperately want more land surveyors in the world, not more psychology/English/history/theater arts majors.
I think such experiences should be a warning to people like DesertSmeagle who want to be challenged and think creatively. You did not need to have the undergrad experience that you had, if you had only chosen a different field. My own field is geomatics, with a land surveying focus, and I just finished my second week in grad school. My undergrad experience was far different. One project was to plan, draw, and submit a housing subdivision on drafting software and large printed plots. The lectures were all about how to do the work and solve the problems that come from all directions in the business of subdivision planning. Students actively paid close attention and asked questions, or else they would be screwed. They spent plenty of time outside of class working together and figuring the shit out. Almost every class in the department was like that. After graduation, we all took a test for certification. Students who excel were guaranteed paid summer internships, a good job after graduation, or they may go on to grad school to major in geodesy, hydrography, remote sensing or GIS. Students who don't excel will still either get a good job now or a crappy job now and a good job later when the construction industry gets rolling again and very many middle-aged land surveyors retire.
I perfectly relate to this statement. Im super atheletic but dont actually like competitive sports. i just like to play casual sports like in gym class and pwn everyone. Im thinkin about playing inturmural badminton when i dont play baseball. But ya im kind of a nerd. idk im just different. id rather stay at home and play call of duty than go play in a baseball game. I hate being on teams.
Well im really not sure what to do. If i go through with psychology id like to get a phd or maybe a masters degree. With that i would want to get into criminal psychology or Industrial Organizational psychology and help businesses be productive, which is a really good paying job..if im gonna switch id like to get into visual communications and become a camera man or a producer for like the history channel. Id love to be involved in one of those shows about the paranormal and shit haha. Or id want to get into some kinda computer profession and help create video games...or i can try to be an io psychologist working for sony and make creative forms of advertisement for video games haha.. i really dont know..im taking this media class soon wen i start college classes, maybe ill discover somethin i like. thats the whole point of college right? discovering who you are and shit? haa
Not an argument I want to get into.
OK, just remember my advice that you should be putting a lot of time into your life goal--every day. Ideally, you will know exactly what you want to do for the rest of your life before New Year's Eve and how to do it. After that, you will be running up against the application deadlines for colleges, scholarships and internships.
Just make sure you get some actual coursework done.
