1. how on earth you find these videos
2. Why even bother?

well, my favorite youtube poster, the yogscast, posts minecraft and other videos every day.

What this bitch leech does is copy and paste all the tags and the title from their videos, so her ****ty video appears in the "more video" sidebar
She does it with literally EVERY ONE of their videos, and apparently many others.

Shes a youtube partner, so she actually gets money from her ****ing leeching. Its goddamn annoying and her videos piss me off

On a 200 viewers video...

give it a day or two...

yeah doing TM in the spring in PA

So the seller is supposed to call me today to confirm the deal we negotiated yesterday.

It is now 10 pm so I don't think I will still hear today. God the suspense is killing me. Call already wtf.

edit: for our new house.

Tool concert at casino, absurd rungood at 2/5NL, AND the Pats superbowl all in the same week?

/woot

Tonight ufc 143! gogogo Diaz!

Says who?

PPA is lobbying Congress hard. Major casino groups are lobbying for online poker as well. So, even by your theory we're doing what we need to do to get legislation passed. The daily action plan helps to power that effort.

6 weeks since retiring from professional pokerdom, finding a job seems to be an exercise in futility. Can I go back to 2002 and tell myself not to major in political science?

insert the above for me and history. **** majoring in something you 'enjoy'.

yeah you kinda know that when you major in something lol.

what were your GPAs? I always thought if you had a really sick GPA it didn't matter what you major in. I have a ****ty one from failing on purpose to drop out so I gotta grind something tough.

depends on the economic situation aswell, but a friend of mine majored in history whatever. She can work in a museum giving tours -_-' my god that sucks lol

hang in there bro.

Teach yourself something useful, volunteer somewhere, complete a project. Put it all on your resume. Orange is a lazy POS and wont stick with learning javascript which is super easy thanks to codeacademy.com. Check that out if you are interested in learning to program at all.

Nah, add me to the list of social science majors that wishes he had majored in something else, engineering specifically. I have many friends who got very nice jobs right out of college with engineering degrees, a few of them with GPAs close to or even under 3 that are making low six figures doing engineering consulting type work.

Also rsxpunk, consider tutoring if you have any interest in teaching at all. At least it can be potentially be a gateway to something else and gets some money coming in.

does your major really matter?


Isnt work experience more important?

I mean, aside from the first job out of college

yes, major matters in almost every career path (like engineering, actuary, etc)...you can't get the entry-level job out of college w/out the proper background education

If we're talking about some sales job, sure...major does not matter

Getting a degree in a well-respected discipline (mechanical engineering, in my case) also opens up a lot of jobs (cost analyst) that aren't necessarily related to your major but have similar required skills (analytical skills).
This is more of a beat than a brag since I failed to find a mechanical engineering position that worked out and went with whatever was available but I am in a muuuuuch better position than most of my friends that majored in easy disciplines.

Based on my experience I think if you haven't figured out exactly what you want to do out of college then studying something like engineering is probably a good idea; yea it blows when your friends are at the bars on a tuesday night and you're stuck doing work but it is worth it when you're looking for a job.

However, that advice is more tailored to someone coming out of high school. If you're in your 20s and are thinking about going back to college I think you should have a pretty decent idea of what you want to do post-college and you should tailor your education to that, obv. And do extracurriculars and internships and ****, that helps too (lack of experience was my downfall).

low gpa's for engineering are pretty standard as there is no grade inflation.

i'm working full time as an engineer but planning on a full time MBA and transitioning out. it's good for stable employment, but engineering still has it's drawbacks. i personally can't stand the plant environment.

i would def rank computer engineering as top engineering major, followed by petroleum/chemical. avg silicon valley developer entry level salary just broke 100k. all the business/math majors are good if you maintain a high gpa/get good internships to do finance. good god those people are overpaid.

What would you tell yourself to major?

Starting salaries of 100k? Christ. How do you ever spend all that money as a starter, US has pretty low taxes right? I made about $40k as a starter and that was way above average for bachelors or masters.

What does a factory worker/ supermarket clerk earn then? I guess US citizens must pay ******ed amounts for insurance or pensions?

Just got an email; made a deal for my new house. Ownership will be transferred this month or latest 1-3-2012. Tons of work will be done to make it supernice inside, will probably move in late April or early May.

federal tax on $100k would be about $19k...state income tax varies, but say another $4k+ on top of that....you're looking at around $75k take home. Health benefits prob included for such a skilled job, pensions in US aren't usually pensions anymore. The employer will match say 2-4% of your salary to a 401k (so you put in 2-4k/yr (before tax), company will match the contribution).

A no-skill worker would make anywhere from $7.25-10/hr (15k-20k/yr)
