hello board,

i'll go straight to the point.

im curently stuck with a deadend job that pays 15 bucks an hour doing granite and just do see it going anywhere.

i have alot of experience with computers. i know'em in and out. from networking, to hardware, to web design. mostly everything and i learned it from on my own and from back in high school.

i would rather do something that involves computers but cant find anything at all because i never went to school for it.

do any of yall work in a computer-environment and could help me out get in on that? maybe something entry level

what would u do in my situtation.

i'm 23 and am considering going to school next fall semester but thats a long shot, because i'm probably gonna have to do part time school because of my full time job.

any advices?

ps. i cant take my job anymore, but i need every $ right now.

I can't help you right now, but have you thought about freelancing (on the web design side of things)?

That's how I worked my way into a few jobs. I had a similar experience: I framed houses during and after school. Came home and started roofing, and while doing so I started freelancing a few pieces here and there.

Now I've got a full-time job, and I make much less than I did roofing (and less than you are making now). Why did I major in English again?

But, I'm getting much-need experience in my field. I hope it'll be worth it in the long run.

English is only good for teaching and law school.

Kinda like History, my major.

Hooray!

English degrees can lead to other writing and communication jobs, but they are much tougher to get your foot in the door and still don't pay very well.

Still holding out for Hollywood screenwriter or advertising copywriter.

Do you plan to teach?

I know a guy who manages a bank with only a BA in History. In some cases it's more about having the degree itself than what the degree is in.

But yeah, originally I thought I wanted to be a teacher. I was going to get my Master's-level license in secondary social studies, but I realized during my internship that I hate kids. So now I'm going with my other option, law school.

and hell even with a Communication degree it is difficult finding a job in the field where I am at right now.

Back to the primary topic......Without a degree the best and only way is to start freelancing, only way you are going to get anywhere without going to school

bigblackcat...I am pretty sure you could start doing some freelancing outside of your regular work hours...whether you offer to do some web design or repairs etc for friends or advertise to get your name out there and start building some clients. You'd have to decide at what point you thought you could make enough money to support yourself doing it fulltime. We so often get caught up with the almighty $$$, and yes, we need money to live...but there's more to life than money. Doing what you want to do is worth lots too!

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By SCO96 · Posted

      If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.

      Clowney released

      By Waldo · Posted

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.
