Shaddap you!!! Youre always on the look out for the old and rich phaggots.

 

i am on welfare

 

Thanks for all the imput guys. Which universities would be best in norcal.

 

chico=nonstop party.

 

I'm 24 and I took a 6-year break from highschool and then decided to start going to school.
right now I'm two years into my mechanical engineering degree. Gonna be going to SJSU pretty soon. Right now I work as a security guard for 12/hr to pay for school and my constantly breaking RX-7.
I'm currently saving up for a down payment if they ever decide to put out another RX-7, but my old one keeps cutting into it.

It's really worth it to get into school as soon as you can, word around my school is that by silicon valley where I live, engineers can make 70k+ to start, and pick where you work.
So decide what's best and keep to whatever you do.

hmm well,
currently 23 and im a lumber/hardware (not home depot)store delivery driver make about 35k but about to go up a couple $/hr with getting my b-class license. doin it for almost 2 years and still love getting up in the morning. not the greatest pay in the world but up here for no degree its actually pretty damn decent. low pay in the area.
i get to cram a F-550 flatbed and 22footbed 3axel international up little jeep trails. and see crazy *** views. some of the places i get to go are littlerly hours from any civilization or actual road. im usually the first one there with somthing other then a quad or a jeep. very physical work, very rewarding, and just plain fun as hell most of the time if you like solving puzzle's.
climbing massive muddy *** mountains with a fully loaded down pissed off truck is just bad *** any day of the week.
i do mechanic work at friends shops and homes when i have some time to do it and make a little extra $.
planin on doin some more school soon and gettin a performance shop of my own opened up around here in the future.

blah another novel. sorry.
lol

 

In N' Out while going to college, good money, good company. I love CA!

 

I write resumes for C-level executives. Anyone on the West forum who needs a resume spruced up for language and grammar to get a job can PM me. You'll have to put it in your own template though. Plus it should look like you at least made an attempt to get it right. (Unless you want to pay for it, of course ). Be sure to provide all potentially useful information. For the freebie version, wait for a confirmation and a tentative date of delivery before you assume anything. Depending on my schedule, it could take anywhere between 24 hours and a week.

Offer valid for as long as I'm active on this forum.

 

I work for the man, it pays the bills.

 

Mechanical Engineer... Math and science and more math. If you dislike either, move on.

 

Really depends on what you are going to study but UC Berkeley is a good University for Science, Engineering, Law, and Business. If you are looking into Medicine or Dental, UC San Francisco. In answer to your original question, I'm an accountant by degree, but found it boring so I started my own company and sell Medical & Laboratory equipment. Best advise, pick something you like to do and are interested in. If I could go back and do college again, I would be focusing in biomed.

 

im a dj

its a tough job.. :/

 

Remember this kid, it's not what you know, it's who you know.

Fresh out of high school I went to a Community College for one semester, then joined the military. It wasn't a hard leap for me because a lot of my family were already in. I was pretty much raised to be in the military. We're talking military family and ROTC, along with growing up on base. After 6 years, I got out and am finishing my RN.

I'm going to school and working at Starbucks. Starbucks has full benefits for part-timers, the military is picking up my check for school, and I'm saving a ton of money by sticking with a Community College. Because the waiting list is so damn long, I'm set to go to a private school. It is pricey, but I'd be able to pay it off within 2 years of working.

My true passion in life was Architecture, but I found out that they don't pay enough for me to live comfortably. With my military background, I can easily work for Boeing, Raytheon, etc. etc. in the Aerospace Industry and start with about 50-60k a year, but I'm not very passionate about Nondestructive Testing, even though it's easy.

I found Nursing to be my call because I've been on rounds with my cousin, who has his own home health business. I don't have to worry about having anything past a Bachelors, and in most cases an Associates. Starting pay is about 60k, 96% of my classes are females, and I can make a good chunk of change working for myself, part-time.

While you're out and about figuring out what you want to do, be sure to NETWORK, and FIND YOURSELF. Without these, you're waisting your time. If you're serious about school, take your general ed classes at a CC. You'll find out what you like, and what you don't like. While taking your generals, get to know people and find out what they're into, or how they can benefit you in the future.

Over time, things will start to make sense, and you'll find something that will spark your interest. Just keep in mind that you should go for something you like to do, rather than a paycheck. I know because I've made that mistake.

 

Making money is definitely good but make sure you get into something that you'll be happy with. I have a few friends who are accountants (don't know why anyone would want to do that for a living) and they are miserable as hell.

I am a retired DJ. I'm collecting residuals from all them underground parties I played at.

 

^ nice. Another thing to learn... leverage! Use what you know to your benefit kiddo!

 

I feel very young after reading this thread...lol :p

I am 20, and I am a full-time student at UCR. Yup, student is an occupation, too.
To answer your question regarding the best universities in nor-cal, like dstrbdsht said, UC Berkeley is a good choice, and there are many more out there, UC Davis, UC San Fransisco (mainly for graduate students), and one of the best school in the nation is Stanford. Make sure to visit your schools of choice because a good school by review may not suit you right, it is important for you to like where you live (too many people here whine about Riverside).
Back to the original post, I've had some jobs before, especially summer jobs, but now I'm just focusing on school and being my frat's president (yes..I treat it as a job).

chutzpah, I would defenitely ask you for resume advices, hehe, my frat does a lot of resume and professional workshops.

 

Mobile Dog groomer 27K a year. But, the boss says If I keep up the good work I will get my own route soon. So that will be like 29K or 30K.

 

I'm a mechanical engineer by degree, 26, work at a military vehicle development/design company as a test engineer. I get to test armor vehicle shocks and steering and stuff, pretty fun. I make decent money, and enjoy what I do. I got my degree from UCSB, but SJSU/calpoly/davis/berekeley are all decent schools.

 

Student and Recording/FOH engineer.

 

I wash dishes part time, it's $10/hr, so it's not that bad for extra income.

On weekends, I do handle valet service for mostly private parties. Great workout running back and forth!

 

See...there's no need for a degree, unless you are playing hating..then you'll need a PHD.

 

anytime. I can't give you a sample or template for competitive reasons but there's definitely some stuff I could say about the kinds of mistakes people make when compiling a resume. I usually have to work off of a questionnaire and STILL don't get the proper info. Since you're at the college level though, it may be vastly different for you and your mates...considering that you have little to no work experience/achievements to speak of. In which case I'd have to say dig up everything that could possibly be relevant (including dog walking and the paper run if you have to) and then word it in a nice corporate BS kind of way.

 

That is the truth. Every job I have gotten because I knew someone there. That isnt to say that I wasn't qualified, but knowing people made everything easier. I was the youngest person by far at my old job, and after talking to some of the people there it is the same once you are older. All of the 27-35 year olds said the same thing, its WHO you know.

I am currently 19, and completly clueless in what I want to do. I started out in an engineering program at Fresno that would apy around 60k starting, but didn't like it, so moved back. Since I have been going to community college, working, and trying to find what I want to do with my life. Im trying to figure out how I am supposed to know what I want to do with the rest of my life at 19. Me not knowing, and Calculus 2 kicking my @** has left me stumped for a little bit. How did you engineering majors get past calc 2? Honestly, its like the teachers don't teach anymore, they expect me to remember everything I have done in math AND some stuff I haven't done. /rant
