yeah thats totally not the yearly salary of a decently paid worker

A public 2 year institution costs $8,085.
You could make that working off minimum wage. I'm going to assume that doesn't include financial AID. Most parents also save some money for college for their kid over the years. If you really couldn't loving make it through two years, family is always there for a reason.

It's not a cycle, going to college isn't some magic bullstuff only the rich the can do.

YEAH HAHA DEBT FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS IS THE BEST IDEA YET
mcdonalds literally has a service to help its employees to sign up for welfare, to put it into perspective

Yeah, no. If you play it smart you'll get out of them fairly fast.
You don't need a high paying job to pay for college, people go to college all the time and pay for it. It's not like college is some "holy stuff I'm drowning in bills!" bullstuff.
Then there's financial AID plans you can apply for. If you do good in high school colleges tend to want you more, so they're willing to give you more.

You could even go to a community college, pay like $400 for a class that could get a slightly better paying job, and holy stuff, you're better off than before. That was hard.

to be fair its sort of a poverty spiral
there are exceptions, of course. experience and hard work beats a degree any day, but:

• college requires money
• you get enough money from good job
• good job requires degree (in most cases)

Student loans exist for a reason

Or you could be currently in high school or college, and need a job to pay for it, and that's the only job you can get because you don't have a degree or substantial job history.

A fast food restaurant worker should NEVER be your primary source of income.

There's easily always other jobs available, unless you slacked in high school and all your electives were 'gym'.

These people are complaining about the lowest level job not paying enough, when the point of it is to build references, work experience, and earn some extra cash in high school/college.

What the forget?

Why would people expect high paying cash out of a part time job?
Teens are just going to replace these people's jobs if they keep being cunts.

I have 8 classes a day, counting band and stuff. Day goes by so fast.

Freshman are just generally idiots. There's still a lot of left over "I'm loving cool" kids from middle school. Sophomore year it goes away a bit. Junior year everyone just stops caring.

Being 17, I'm still a child at heart that loves Christmas.

forget I pretend Santa Clause is still real, I try to recapture the magic of waking up when I was little, and being so excited I'd wake up at 6 in the morning, and just sit and wait for everyone to wake up.

The Holiday season is by far my most favorite time of year.

Don't throw away your dream for a girl, seriously. Never ever center your life around a girl, you're young, you have a dream, follow it.

After boot camp and stuff, if you're already married when you're based your wife can come live with you for no charge or stuff like that.

It's what my brother did.

« on: December 01, 2013, 10:37:46 PM »

It's always irritated me that I had no drawing ability in my body. Even a stick figure I draw ends up looking like a tree that went through a hurricane.

I looked it up, watched videos, I just can't do it. Could anyone help, or point me to a video series or something that ISN'T useless?

Here's an idea of how bad I am:


(Yes, I actually tried my hardest on this)
I'd just love to have a basic understanding of the skill, I don't want to "really loving good", just alright.
