I never said I was better than anyone. Please don't put words in my mouth.

I just said I am confident in my abilities to get a job, no matter how the odds were stacked against me, and so I know I could get one if the need arose.

Given that the "odds" are the numbers and abilities of others, it is therefore indeed your claim that you are in fact better than the millions facing those same odds and are unable to prevail.

Yeah azelma, stop claiming you're better than everyone else ever, that's aestu's territory.

I'm not happy - yet. I don't want to be in this business. Truthfully I find finance and accounting to be dreadfully boring...but I consider it a necessary evil to get where I really want to go. Also let me say that I think my business does good because it gives others (specifically those of lower socio-economic backgrounds) the opportunity to get their piece of paper so that corporations have to pay them more.

It's my understanding that a lot of online/for-profit colleges/universities are the worst of all scams in that they load students with huge amounts of debt only to give them a degree that many employers find worthless. One example that comes to mind are the online programs to become things such as a medical assistant/nurse and offer the bare minimum in hands on training (something that is probably pretty important in a medical field.

Guess what has two thumbs and a high school diploma and makes more money than a CNA?

I think this thread just has too much assumption and second guessing. No one needs to prove anything to anyone.

We all measure success in different ways.

We were understaffed so I ran pantry and hot apps on Sunday for 12 hours (we were busy from 12pm until about 8 with maybe a hour in between the lunch and dinner rush) after sleeping the night before for only 3 hours.

I felt like that was a successful day.

Nah you're not successful because you don't have a 6 figure income.

Yeah well you're clearly a lazy sack of shit because I have no idea what you do, but I'm sure anyone could come in and do your job, which is also a shill, better because you're dumb.

Azelma's right, Fanta. Your 3 jobs are piss easy.

I could be a doctor*
*undertaker

I could be brown*
*and die of skin cancer at 40

I could chaperone the mentally disabled*
*Jubber and Eturnal look easy enough to look after

Eturnalshift · **Posted:** Wed Oct 12, 2011 11:43 am

Fanta would have a hard time keeping up with either Jubber or myself; both would be impossible for him.

Aestu · **Posted:** Wed Oct 12, 2011 12:33 pm

Fanta is a pre-med, right? I don't see him being replaced by software and an intern. His skills would fetch a high price anywhere.

My only measure of success:

The mark you leave on the world. The people you influence. The lives you change for the better.

Money, cars, titles, status...none of that matters once you're gone. Say you perform CPR on a child and save his life, and it inspires him to study medicine. Say you form a non profit dedicated to helping others in some form, and it carries on long after you die. These kind of things. I also include 'corporate fat cats' who give people jobs and maintain a sense of social responsibility not because they are ordered to through laws and public criticism, but because that is the nature of the people in charge. Bill Gates is a good example of this.

Can you let me know at approximately what date/time I can expect to be replaced by software and an intern? I need to get my finances in order before then.

not everyone gives a shit about the world once they're gone.

hence many of our troubles.

Fantastique · **Posted:** Sat Oct 15, 2011 11:48 pm

I want you all to move to MD and work at NIH with me. Then we could happy hour every day.

Thanks.
