Q&A ABOUT SCHOOL AND WORK LIFE

WELL HERES AN INTERESTING POST IF I MUST SAY SO MYSELF :) I DIDNT HAVE A TOPIC TODAY AND I ASKED A FRIEND IF THEY WOULD GIVE ME A TOPIC TO WRITE ON. THEY GAVE ME 4... THE ISSUE IS I WANT TO WRITE ABOUT ALL OF THEM ALL AT ONCE BUT ITS GOING TO BE A LONG BLOG SO I THOUGHT ABOUT BREAKING IT UP... THATS TOO MUCH WORK AS WELL... SO HERES ALL OF THEM AFTER ALL :) LOL

WHAT DO I THINK ABOUT EDUCATION?

IN MY HONEST OPINION, EDUCATION DOESNT REALLY MEAN MUCH. PERSONALLY I SLACKED THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL, I GOT A'S B'S C'S. UNIVERSITY I WAS SORTA BORED AND WASNT REALLY SURE WHERE I WAS GOING IN LIFE, JUST LIKE ALL KIDS AT THAT AGE WHEN YOURE IN SCHOOL. IN THE END OF ALL OF THIS, I GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL, BCIT, SFU, AND UBC. I ENDED UP WITH A PIECE OF PAPER FROM ALL THE MAJOR SCHOOLS AROUND AND ITS ALL IN DIFFERENT THINGS. EDUCATION THESE DAYS IS LIKE THE STANDARD. IT USE TO BE WHERE ONLY THE SELECT FEW WHO ARE SMART ENOUGH CAN GET INTO UNIVERSITY, AND ONCE YOU GRADUATED THERE ARE JOBS LINED UP FOR YOU. UNLIKE THESE DAYS WHERE YOU ARE ALMOST EXPECTED TO HAVE A BACHELOR'S IN SOMETHING. PEOPLE THESE DAYS EVEN HAVE MASTERS!!! ITS COME TO A POINT WHERE HAVING EDUCATION WILL HELP BUT THAT ONLY GETS YOU THROUGH THE DOOR. A LOT OF PLACES DOESNT EVEN BOTHER WITH EDUCATION ANY MORE AND EXPERIENCE IS WHAT COUNTS. SCHOOLING REALLY OPENED UP MY EYES TO SEE WHAT ITS LIKE, AND ITS A GOOD EXPERIENCE TO HAVE, AND IT IS MOST DEFINITELY NOT FOR EVERYONE. ITS QUITE FUNNY ACTUALLY, ESPECIALLY SINCE A LOT OF THE TIME WHAT YOU STUDY WILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT YOURE DOING. JUST LIKE ME RIGHT NOW, WHAT I STUDIED DOESNT REALLY RELATE TO WHAT I AM DOING AND ITS JUST THAT. JUST REMEMBER THAT THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAY AND ONE PLACE TO GET AN EDUCATION, AND IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE IN A BOOK IN CLASSROOM.

WHAT DO I MISS ABOUT BEING A STUDENT?

NOTHING!!! LOL THATS BASICALLY WHAT I MISS!!! NOTHING!!! SCHOOLS LIKE WORK. YOU HAVE TO WAKE UP EARLY, GET READY, GET TO SCHOOL, AND SIT THERE ALL DAY. WOULD I DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN? NO. UP UNTIL VERY RECENTLY I WAS STILL ACTUALLY A STUDENT AND THE ONLY THING THAT I MIGHT MISS IS ACTUALLY MEETING NEW PEOPLE. KNOWING ME IL END BACK UP IN SCHOOL TO LEARN SOMETHING ELSE VERY SHORTLY LOL.

HONESTLY I AM LUCKY TO HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO FIND A JOB THAT I LIKE AND ENJOY :) I HAD TO GO THROUGH MANY JOBS THAT WERE... INTERESTING... BEFORE I FINALLY FOUND THIS GEM. A LOT OF THE TIME JOBS ARE REALLY FOUND BY WORD OF MOUTH OR BY CONNECTIONS AND WE ALL KNOW THAT ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF JOBS IS ACTUALLY POSTED. IF YOU THINK YOURE IN A BAD PLACE OR THAT YOU NEED TO DO BETTER, DONT WORRY!!! EVENTUALLY, INEVITABLY,  ABSOLUTELY YOU WILL FIND YOUR CALLING. EVERYTHING TAKES TIME.

AND THE OBLIGATORY WEEKLY UPDATE, I DIDNT DO MUCH JUST WORK AND HUNG OUT AND THEN FOOTBALL!!! IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A GAME IN WHICH WE WON... BUT WE LOST AND WE PLAYED PRETTY HORRIBLE THAT GAME... ITS ALRIGHT, JUST GET BACK AT IT NEXT WEEK :) OH AND ATE 4 LOBSTERS THE OTHER WEEKS SO THAT WAS NICE LOL.
