    Geology would be great if you're looking to make bank... oil and mining is big business.. and Geology degrees will get you knee deep in either business.. That is if you're looking to sell your soul

    Ortus,my own view would be to take exactly the things that interest you.
    After all,it's not what you got your qualis in,it's THAT you got them,that counts.
    I got my Forensic Psychometrics degree more-or-less by accident. [long boring story]
    My music degree I took purely because I wanted to.
    Neither pertain to what I do for a living,both,in different ways, give me huge pleasure.
    To be what you want to be is a goal worth pursuing.

    If you're only goal is to make money,a degree isn't the be-all it appears.
    Alan Sugar started by selling fruit on a barrow in a London street market.
    Richard Branson used a public telephone booth at the end of his street as his 'office',when he first started out booking bands for local pubs.

    At 18 [and I mean no offence] you have no idea what will satisfy you at 30.
    So take the courses you have a real interest in-because they're the ones you'll do the best work in and get best grades in.Mostly because you won't see it as 'work',but as a chance to pursue and develop understanding of subjects that are dear to you.

    Who knows-you might even become a consultant astrologer on morning TV!

    There's lots of people that make money being pseudo-somethings.

    As far as politics, I think we are fucked either way. Romney would blast women backwards, and only benefits the rich, while if obama stays in congress will continue to force-stop our government. People won't take much more stagnancy, so there will be revolt. If romney wins women will be bitches, enmasse.
    The only smart thing for people to do is stock their shelves, buy their water filters, buy arms under the table and get ready. Make sure that when the time comes, you still can feed your family after being raided. The outlook is not good, the only hope is to return to roots, government by the people, for the people. Corporations are not people, why the hell does the country belong to them? Giving government back to the people will not come easily, but it is the only hope I can see.

    Ps, I hate that my phone capitalizes for me. I have a style of my own, stupid smartphone. Also: if you've got em, send some happy-smooth-house buying juju my way. I'm so stressed out I'm having nightmares.

    Yup... Fucked either way... It's just a matter of how fast you wanna get there.. Obama wins.. we stick to the slow and steady death of america.. Romney wins.. It'll be a fast and slippery shit slope.. Republicans win and will get to do whatever they damn well please

    to quote george carlin, we're pretty fucked if we have to go up against the army.

    I just don't like not knowing HOW its going to go down. Its too loosey goosey. Public or underground movement? Will the military fight for us or them? Will people band together? Will stupid people finally come around to logic? Too many variables.

    What sort of careers do you think you could get from either of those degrees? I also do really enjoy writing which is a main reason why i want to take english, but again, i don't see much money in that unless i become insanely successful, which i can't really see happening either..

    And yes Astrology, i know a lot of you will probably think i'm retarded for believing in such a 'science' but i honestly do, from my own experiences. There are certain things in astrology that are just to true to be coincidences. That being said, i'm also really into spirituality stuff, so if that's not your thing then you could easily disregard my thoughts of how i think astrology is legit lol

    That's good advice. Except, i'm not really into trades... I used to work in construction with my dad every summer for the past few years before i got a job of my own, and i hated it, i just didn't like the work. I also used to work with him when he was an electrician, couldn't stand that either. In all honestly, maybe it's just because i'm lazy as fuck :p



    I prefer mental work, even though i'm not that smart... I can't do math or sciences, and i don't know a lot of technical stuff... but what i do know and am interested in his history and philosophy, writing and culture, i'm even interested in learning about religion even though i don't believe in any. But the issue is i can't find any job that relates to that...

    I don't want to work in an office or a lab, nor do i want to work on a construction site or work with tools, and i'm not entirely interested in the business world either... (although i do prefer that over the other two, i just don't like all the technical stuff behind owning your own business, i just like the idea of all the freedom that comes behind it, i hate being an employee working for someone else) those are pretty much the 3 main categories... I'm interested in somehow using my creativity and my thoughts, to make a career that i enjoy, that brings in a decent income... Dont get me wrong, its not all about the money, i have no real desire to be filthy rich.. But i do want to have a stable income in which i can live well off of.

    You will enjoy what you are interested in. You can work a shit job and be happy at home. You could get your schooling in basic stuff you use, computer science, accounting, I'm falling asleep already. There are useful degrees, and not so useful. You can be a nurse, the coming conflict needs them, and get your schooling in what you are interested in.

    Hogwarts is clearly real, 'he who must not be named' must have already gotten to you...

    Even ask rolling, we all know how much he loves Hairy Potter :D

    Don't discourage the boy... There's going to be a big call for wizards here shortly.



    Most of us are going to die off soon enough. ;)

    Finally managed to get me some good weed in the middle of a semi-drought. Fuck yeah!

    Also, spiders build some crazy webs all day long. During the day people are constantly breaking them, but at night they're just criss crossing the streets and getting in my face all the time.

    Sometimes the late night hours are the only time I feel completely relaxed.
