Someone say Beer?!?!?
Beer?
Teachers and other people with shitty jobs cannot afford to go out drinking on random weekdays.
Meh, I’m over teaching. I’m moving past that fact.
Also, day time drinking is well within my tax bracket.
I am good to drink anytime after 5pm. Gotta pay into the unemployment tax pool for you guys between 8-5
Sheesh you guys are rough on teachers.
Yeah, I don’t think everyone on here posting about tuition reimbursement being shitty works for the best company with the best setup. Your’s sounds like a win / win situation. With most of the idiot organizations I worked for throughout the years, I was pretty happy to have my payroll check clear at the end of the week. I think in this day and age any company offering a tuition payback program should be applauded.
My cousin got an internship at a bank while getting his bachelors, got his degree, worked there for a year after being hired full-time, then did their tuition reimbursement , got his masters and is now VP Branch manager and has gotten like 4 promotions during a 3 year period. If you don’t work for a shitty company, and don’t suck as an employee I really don’t see why they would abuse you.
Fuck, you can just go do some sort of labor job and make $12+/hour at least while searching for an actual career. Why the hell would you stick around your current place?
Are you good looking? Rich older women always need dates, they’re husbands don’t pay attention to them anymore.
their
they are husbands
I still say get into computers
Specialize in something and bill customers 250-600 a hour.
Hell local computer consulting/services companies get away with charging 115-175 a hour for idiots.
hell you can make $50 removing a virus.
How about installing a hard drive?
Pick something that the masses have developed a NEED for. Be sure to pick something that is considered magic by the masses, they must NEED it but they must not understand it.
Do whatever it takes to learn & demystify the “magic” and rake in the cash.
LZ is on the same page as me here, listen to him. Niche skill-sets are where the best money can be found. The more people that highly value your skillset the more money they will pay you for your expertise.
This reality is so basic, yet all too often overlooked. #liberalarts
Last I checked Best Buy’s Geek Squad charged 50$ to install ram.
True story.
Agreed, though for the love of god, do not go into web design unless you enjoy the idea of being lobotomized:
anytype of autodesk software is a great skill to have and can help you get a job
i just got my new job because I had some background with Revit MEP
how ya liking it so far? ive been working with revit mep close to 4 years now doing hospitals/lab buildings, love it.
god I wish I could get my office to grab a copy of revit…I recently finally got them to get Civil3D, and they haven’t installed it yet even though it’s been on the computer guy’s desk for 3 weeks now.
Agreed, F web design. I think the issue there is customers can actually see the end result. Data center & server room infrastructure are invisible…thus they must be magical. See also SEO!
The further you can get from end user contact the better!
