I'm actually trying to get enrolled in Embry-Riddle myself. Not sure if I want to go that route or just go to one of the colleges here in town. The college guy here on base just gave me a headache and had me leaving his office scratching my head with no idea where to start..

I'm a stock boy at Victoria's Secret. I don't think anything is a secret anymore. I do part time surveillance installing cameras in the fitting rooms and monitoring theft. The pay sucks but the benefits make it worth it.

While I'm at it..I'm an RA at a private University in Tennessee. It pays 20 hours a week salary and all I do is sit in my room but I'm a Psychology undergrad and I play on going to grad school to be a LPC in a couple years.

Yes years ago and it is not easy selling to the squids. But the real enthusiasts were cool. Older Harley guys were the best they would just grab the manual or micro fiche' and point to what they needed or knew the part # in their head ...oh did I mention micro fiche' some of you might not know what that is. but it is very advanced and most have never seen it...

I used to buy a microfiche for every bike I owned so I could call in my order to the dealers on the mainland to order parts. I would to get their phone numbers out of ads in the back of the motorcycle magazines that I used to subscribe to. Fortunately we had/have a fiche reader here at work.

I was trying to cover up that I am as old as that mimeograph machine our teachers used. Ohh those pages smelled so good!, oh and so very good for you.
google "The output of the ditto machine had a special aroma. Students could tell when a class assignment was hot out of the machine by the strength of the odor of the pages. The smell came from the ditto machine’s duplicating fluid, a mix of methanol and isopropanol." ARF 07 What is a RA??

pshhh... that's not old... When I was in school, to copy pictures, they used to make a master on a flat gelatin like substance and press each page onto the master by hand to get the picture to be reproduced onto the blank sheet of paper in purple outlines. Copies of typed documents??? carbon paper.
lol.. this is great stuff! |

just to throw my 2cent in. I'm in between semester at school. I'm a junior at East Carolina University (majoring in human biological sciences) I took a year off to do some soul-searching and travel. I went to Colombia, south america and stayed for 3 months to see another part of the world. At the moment I work at Nationwide Insurance (in a service center that servies from texas to the east coast) and that provides me the health benefits i need in case of sickness and money for my hobbies. I'll be going back to school this fall and finishing out my last year, hopefully getting a job in the near future in the med field.
btw, RA's are cool, my RA was the coolest guy I ever met. Lived next door to me so I would pester him all night making him think we were drinking underage, and destroying the place (which we never were doing...) heh, I think he hates me cause he wont say hey to me on campus. XD

Hello ya'll!
I am currently 18 and attend Cal State Long Beach. I worked as a barista at a boba shop, backstock for Holister, and Maki Yaki (at the same time, and therefore only lasted a couple of months) Currently unemployed, applying to be a freshman advisor at my school. I am majoring on Poly Sci thinking about either int. politics or law (which seems very daunting!) Any help from someone about this? I really do not know what to do. One day I would like to be a school board member and hopefully work my way up to being a Senator I really enjoy my 20 min ride to school even though it is all straight-a-ways the nice so. cali breeze during the day is very relaxing (except for the ridiculous Long Beach drivers that always makes me hesitate passing every single car--which may be a good habit to form) Hopefully I can get some networking from this |

I work full-time as an electronics technician. I am doing that while attending college. I'm surprised that I have the time I have to ride. Lucky for me, I only have 5 classes left and I am done! What a way to celebrate my 30th.

I feel like a total slacker compared to all you guys.
I was in the Army as a Abrahams Tank Crewmen, but ended up as a translator/driver in Korea(was born there). Got out back in 2006 and I just re-enlisted to Army Reserves as a Medic(68W). Just waiting for them to send me to Training for that. I plan to go back to school for Registered Nurse when I come back, but until then I guess you can call me a bum. Oh, and this isn't a habit. This is my life. I don't have a car and my Ninja is my ride. Have you ever carried a tire in the back of your Ninja? You get strange looks at a stop light.

Yup. That's part of the reason I went with it. That, and the fact that fast food is pretty much all a 16 yr old with no experience can get jobwise. I'm doing pretty well as far as teens though. 1 year and 4 months! But, like I said, hard to pay for stuff like I want with that little money.

hmmm... get paid to skate and cheap food and in the sunshine.. I am starting to hate you not really... sounds like a great job for now. It wouldn't pay my mortgage but that would be fun for a while for sure.

It's fun yeah. I can't ask for much more right now. I'm hoping that staying there until college will get me a good reputation for prospective employers in the future. It's my first job, so the whole "I'll stay with you for a long time" thing is present. I've heard that helps in applications.
