**** SCHOOOOL

[drenrin2120]

Well, some good news. I got a call back today from one of the job apps I filled out. I'll be working lotsa hours the next few weeks, so that's exciting.

This is the correct decision. Avoid loans like the plague.

Also, understand that a degree isn't a magical ticket to jobland. At my job we routinely hire people with 2 years of school, or even none (one of our best web devs dropped out after a year). School's important, but don't think that just by pushing through it you'll be fine afterwards.

These two things I do understand. I will do anything at all possible to never take out a loan for anything. I hate borrowing money. I can't stand it. I hate credit. I think it's a load of ****. I know there are arguments for it, but that's my general attitude towards it. As for education not being a magic ticket, I get that too. But a part of me does enjoy being in school, I want a better education for myself. I want that education that'll take me out of this sleepy little town and go somewhere, anywhere really. Mainly I don't really know what I'm doing.

And so we get to here...

****ing go to class drenrin. I got in funks when I didn't want to go too, but if you're actually failing entire classes because of it, it's time to take a good, long look at things and decide if throwing more money at this is what you want to do. That inspired me to keep going, but I knew a half dozen or so who called it quits too.

What's a library?
Isn't that that thing where somebody writes a bunch of code for other people to use?

It's open source.
