The College Thread

[Markus Asraelius]

I am going to college sometime next year and I was just wondering is anybody currently going that posts here?

I am probably going to go to the University of Utah.

[Cornell]

Nope - been there done that already.

Cornell rules!

College: Psychology, in Florida.

Then went in Toyota school (not saying this is college, but what I did after) for a year. Was about to go to the Mercedes Benz training school, so I could work for them, but changed my mind. I decided to buy and sell cars instead.

Now I?m in real estate.

Go figure.

Down the line I'd like to buy a prime spot and open a lot for cars. I'll probably do this when I ge back to SLC in two years.

Cool. I never knew you were in real estate. I never knew you took on Psycology.

So, that means you know what people are thinking behind what they are saying. J/K

Not really.

My brother is that guy. He is smart as shit. He is a professor at Rice now in Psych. I hooked up with him a month back and I always forget how smart (and funny) the guy is.

I got into cars because I got sick and tired of being ripped off while in college. I'd take my car in and know the mechanic was lying to me. There was nothing I could do about it. Being young, broke and frustrated I intended to take a basic car course at the nearby campus. Then I got into it and took the entire thing, minus transmissions.

I got into RE after I bought my first house and fixed it up. I liked the idea of flipping houses and/or renting them.

Everything leads to something else. I like all sorts of things. One day, when I grow up I'll figure out exactly what I want to do.

Yeah, I take the bus/train and it's a lot less expensive than cars, I'll tell you that. We have a pretty good mass transit system here in Salt Lake. We have TRAX (I'm sure you know.) and there currently working on a salt lake to odgen trax line which will be pretty cool when it's finished.

[SLCPUNK]

There Trax system is very good, although I never used it.

Aren't they going to develop some system that goes to Park City?

I'm not sure about Park City. I just heard information that

A) They were changing the routes of all buses. Some routes would be cancelled, some would be altered routes and there would be some time schedule changes. Those changes go into affect on Monday, April 17th. They don't hurt me at all.

B) These bus route changes would be because of trax changes such as the odgen/salt lake route.

***

Right now, all they have a is north/south trax line with a nightride and then a university trax-line. The university trax-line is kind of like an extended downtime ride.

Chomsky...of course.  SLC, im taking an AP Psych test next month, any advice?

[Kaybee]

I'm in my final year of obtaining a Bachelor Of Business (Marketing) at Victoria University.

Worked my ass off at High School and got high enough marks to do Law. I studied that for a year and a half and nearly died due to boredom, transferred to Business and love it. I can't wait to finish though - I'm going to take a year off, travel the world etc before I get into the rat race.

[Surfrider]

For all of you that are still in college, enjoy your time.  It really is the best time of your life.

Stay on the path...........

Argh!  I was looking at doing phsyc (we are orginising our Uni education already  ) and we went to our local uni.  We each had to chose a few lectures to go to for the day and talk about what each degree was like.  I went to phsyc... the whole thing made me so mad.  Like people thought they are the centre of the whole universe or something... and if they have some problem or arent "normal" they dont fit in right with society and need to be checked out by a professional.

I hate it when people do this whole 'everyone has to fit in with society and be normal' and this just fuled my fire.

[Prometheus]

i know your not normal...... thats why i like you :p

[Mr. Dick Purple]

I'm a Telecomunication Ingeneer  I graduated 3 years ago, Im working in a Internet company and it's kinda cool I'm searching new horizons I think I will go to Canada, anyone knows if the bussiness there as an telecomunicacion ingeneer is good?

[Prometheus]

DP life is good and women are easy


edit: that being said it do depend on the area that you goto... for expanding telecom areas..... Aliant is in a hiring spree right now so that is great if you are coming in with exp. BCE is reducing man power and going more automation, Telus is sort of in the middle, and well SASKTEL and MBTEL are pretty stationary, not a huge amout of flux.

in the BCE areas though there are many smaller sub contractors that they utilise for their work that pay rather well..... if i were you i would apply to alberta area oil companies for telecom professionals and you can make some great cash


hope that helps ya out

[Mr. Dick Purple]

Thanks man that helped a lot 
Dont you know if Toronto would care for an Ecuadorian

[Prometheus]

Yes. That is a big problem in society, in my opinion.

[Elrothiel]

I went to Kent Institute of Art and Design (Rochester campus) last year as a Foundation course after leavin' school, and I'm going to the Maidstone campus in September to get a degree in Graphic Media.

Can't wait!!! Last year was the best year of my life ever, and I'm so hoping that the three years that lie ahead are just as good!!
Some of my friends from last year are already there so I'll know people!!

[Markus Asraelius]

Yeah, I had some really good years in 1999-2000 which was mostly junior high and a lil' bit of high school.

Then, 2001 things started to crumble down. 9/11. Had an effect on everyone.

2002-2004 was what I call the dark ages.

2005 was actually the best year since 2000.

And, 2006 I think things are even better with all the changes to my life (an improved social life, working out more, no more diet pop and approaching sex and love a bit differently), I feel quite confident right now. And, I feel good about myself and that's what really matters.
