Well I'll be a little less busy now that I don't think I'll go back to my job. It wasn't doing anything for me and I have other priorities right now: Studying for GED so I can further go to college, and helping my step great grandmother out who has just became a widow almost two months ago.
If I was making halfway decent money I might have stayed.

God, what I wouldn't give to be able to quit my job. If you have that option, feel like the luckiest man in the world. Because you actually might be.
I hate my job so much. So, so, so much...
EDIT - Urm... welcome back, by the way!

Yes, come to the shelter of the academia, where economic problems almost cease to exist until you graduate and are forced out into the world.Lucemia wrote:Well I'll be a little less busy now that I don't think I'll go back to my job.

I love this place, I'm considering staying for around 4 more years.

For me it's because my parents said they'd cover my food and shelter until I'm out of college, the school tuition comes from grants and some student loans the state of Texas gave me that it'll forgive as long as I graduate on time with good grades. Free school for me.NightshadeTea wrote:I don't know what you guys are doing to make not working while being in school an option, but I envy you.
Definitely look into as many scholarships and stuff as you can when you apply for a college in the future Lucemia, I actually didn't and I still came off with a pretty good haul that the state gave me for free.
FAFSA.gov is amazing.

.. So as long as you get in school, your life needs will be easy to fulfill?
Hmm, the opposite happened to many of Indonesians -including me- nowadays. They can't guarantee a job after graduated. So it's wise to sharpen your skills that needed by people here. Fortunately there are schools that support it but unfortunately I am not schooled there.
The schools in Indonesia are being enslaved by 'National Exam', which is an Apocalypse for the students.
Sigh.

I think I already put in an application on that FAFSA a while ago but I don't think I'll be making it to college this year. And my parents would help me out with food and shelter as well, but I'm still gonna try to get into the zoo or a state park or something for a part time job and get to know the people who work there so they can help me too, being that something in that area is what I'm going for. Words that interest me are: Geology, Evolution, Ecology, Taxonomy, Paleontology, Biology(Zoology[Invertebrate & Vertebrate], Botany, Marine Biology, and Wildlife Biology), Meteorology, and Climatology.
Now I know some of these are probably too big for me but you don't really have to be Jesus to get into a scientific career. I'd be happy getting a career in a zoo, aquarium, state park, or nature reserve.
