Because everything to men is a competition.... And worse, car-kids LOOOOVE Drama!

Then why would you encourage (or not discourage) him from entering the field after stating that? i see where you are coming from with certs. and specific program experience. Some companies need a person who has their system's experience and there might only be 2-3 other companies in their region that use that same system, yes, those jobs go unfilled. I'm talking about the IT industry as a whole from an outsiders point of view who is more focused on "calling a spade a spade" frm what i read, hear from people i know that work in IT and therefore interperet.... its saturated. I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH THIS. To the Original Poster, go out and make as much money as possible while you are young and leave "your passions" to be great hobbies you enjoy on the side (with the chance that some day down the road you might be able to make some money or even a living while doing so). You are (when you graduate) going to be too young to worry about quality of life. Ask any realy successful businessman, They all started out working their asses off until they learn and earned their way to a position of power/wealth whether it be for an employer, or for themself. My best advice for now before you make this decision is to follow these steps: 1. Read books and publications so that you can learn about various markets and areas of growth. This will also give you a diversified view of "th working world" and you won't be polluted with the pople that say "i work in advertising, so should you".. go out and form your own opinions. 2. Talk to very successful people and ask them how they did it (everyone you speak with will tell you the same core princples) 3. realize that it's very rare that you can make money without working hard/smart; Then find a way to work less and earn more. <---- To do this, revert to step 1 & 2...

he "wooo hoo"S like a little faggot girl. Not impressed Would much rather watch the first Ken Block video again.

I am actually mentoring a recent college grad right now. I'd be more than happy to sit down with you whenever and wherever to talk business & college planning and help you gain some direction/traction. I know my shit & I like helping motivated people.

I would tell you to get into: Management: Job gets easier as the years go on and the income potential is uncapped. Entrepreneurship: Job is fun, you work for yourself, income potential is unlimited, and eventually you can be a venture capitalist and kick back and invest in good business ideas. Sales: Sales will always be a "eat what you kill" market and its the easiest way to be young and make a hell of a lot of money (as long as you are in a good industry). Buyer beware.... 80% of salespeople are only mediocre so watch out for their slanted view on working in sales. But, if you are a top performer your earning potential can be better sooner than later. Example: You can be a sales guy in a company for 2-3 years and make as much as executives and management given you are a top performer. Most industries/arenas have caps in a non-management/owner situation... What i mean by this is; You can make a decent amount of money as an engineer.. but you will reach a ceiling until you manage others or own your own firm. Think about it, many people will tell you to go into an IT job because you can make 80-110 as an IT worker Bee, OR to go into engineering because you can make 130k as an engineer worker Bee, OR to go into X because you can make 100k.... But the true money lies in the leadership of other people either in a business you own or a business you work for, when you have (successful) employees beneath you, you create value for yourself. The other exception is sales... Go ask someone that does sales for Stryker Medical... Top performers make 300K+ in a year. Sidebar (WARNING)- to those of you that keep talking about IT ... You are nuts. IT is one of the MOST OVERSATURATED markets currently. Read business publications, IT is travelling the same path as Law Practice. - - - - - Thats the arena in which i work in... its a very broad industry, you have to find out what niche you would like to work in.. .administration/management? clinical? technical? Financial? IF i could do it all over again i'd become a Physical therapist (a job that caps at 80-85k) and start my own practice (a job with unlimited earning potential). BTW, Physical therapy is in such high demand today... will it be once reimbursement rates plummet after Healthcare reform takes place? YES, the demand will still remain, but the field will be less attractive to get into as the earning potential will go down... how do you combat that? You start a practice and get 5-10 PT's working for you.

The nursing field is the ultimate "pigeon-hole"... you will average about 60-65k... and cap at just shy of 80k unless you go for your CRNA or Nurse Practitioner's license.. .but with that much schooling you could just be a doctor.

fucking awesome!!

pm replied!

The search business has a lot of potential, though the turnover rate is hgiher than average. It's deffinitely an "eat what you kill" industry. High-producers will make a great living for themselves.

that just goes to show how car makers let the design process lay stagnant throughout the years when they have had "space aged" ideas all the while. (in reference to the car being made/designed in the mid 1990's)

heaven forbid someone have to driv 10 minutes for good food... Does he want local Dublin chinese because his tampon is very unabsorbant and wont last the drive to grandview/?

Happy House in Grandview on 5th... thread enz

Can be discussed via pm once i learn a little about your background. Thanks!

OK, so... I love the Robert watch.. but i thought the orange stiching and the black grommets were tacky... I opted for a Maratac Elite Kevlar strap... Check it... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/s15driftking/Picture478.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/s15driftking/Picture483.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/s15driftking/Picture485.jpg

OP, This statement is a blanket statement and should be taken with a grain of salt. Some Corum watches use sapphire crystals and valjoux 7750 base movements. Check out the Admiral's Cup line. The bubble is a quartz watch (for the most part) and personally i believe it has zero potential from an aesthetical standpoint (ie - ugly as sin). My greatest suggestion would be to educate yourself on a watch forum. Yuo will lear nthat not all watches are created equal but at the same time a lot of what you pay for is the popularity of the brand name.... For instance, a breitling with base 7750 movement will cost around 4k where an Accutron Gemeni has base 7750 for about 300.00 bucks. The big question is, are you man enough and secure enough to admit that you want a high end watch because it's name brand bears a certain "sophistication and prestige"... I can. I love my breitling. I also love my Robert Uhren equally as much and there's about a 3,800 dollar price difference. I will say this, save up and get your "grail" whatever it may be, it will be one of the best feelings in the world when you look down at it while you are wearing it. BUT, before you DECIDE what that "Grail" is, DO SOME RESEARCH! Last point, let me comment on a few watch (popular) brands: Breitling: Best out there for IMHO (per budget), hands down. Size, style, prestige. Rolex: Played out small diameter watches that have no presence Officine Panerai: Ugliest watch design in the world, but a cult none-the-less. IWC: A great company with simple straighforward design Glashutte Original: Everything Rolex is NOT, G.O. is amazing. Tag Heuer: Everyone has one, and their designs are sub-par and dated Movado: Not worth what they cost, very dressy, look like girl's watches. Boutique Brands you have probably never heard of that are cool/trendy/unique: Sinn Bathys Bell & Ross Welder U-Boat Doxa Kobold More food for though although i don't agree with a few... this was posted on a watch forum recently... Top 10 Watch Brands – PREMIUM 1. Patek Philippe 2. Vacheron Constantin 3. A. Lange & Sohne 4. Dubey & Schaldenbrand 5. Maitres du Temps 6. Richard Mille 7.
