Not to throw this thread off on a tangent, but why the fuck would you want to marry a girl that's going to tell you she supports you, and then change her mind when its too late for you? Better off realizing sooner than later that she's out for herself.

I understand what you're saying and many of your posts seem to be very insightful compared to the average zilvian (well maybe half your posts), but really things a little different than that.

Both of us have seperated from our families almost completely so other than each other we really don't have a typical family support structure. Her opinion, which I agree with, is with me being gone a lot she would have no one.

Friends aren't nearly the same as family and I think that's something nearly everyone can agree on.

Not to throw this thread even more OT, but anytime I see your SN I think of milkman dan and those hilarious comics...

QA Tester at Electronic Arts. I test cell phone video games. I occasionally fix other people's cars for them. Hmm, I also wash cars for money on the side, participate in focus groups, try to sell parts when I find the right opportunity-I basically live to hustle enough to get by.

Eventually I will go back to school to get my ASE certs and stuff. But that's not in the cards for about maybe 2-3 more years.

I think I have finally talked myself into what I outta do.........Massage therapy! 5 hour days 5 days a week (thats including an hour lunch, dont have to take it!) and people who work for chiropractors/fitness clubs bring in 35-40k. If you work for yourself you can always make more! The guy I was talking to said he had friends making 60. Its 8 months school and then you're good to go. This also leaves me with time to further my education further struggling on with math classes forever till I get an engineering degree/something similar for use later.

That isnt the end all goal of my existence though... Iam heavily into karting. This is just something to do for the time being to bring in cash that I consider a respectable decent job. The real 100% joke of a goal is to become a race car driver. The kart series I race in, if I win I get a sponsorship into Formula Atlantic so its a pretty good deal...Not pretty good chances but a deal. If you place in the top 5 though you can usually start picking up sponsors for the next year in karting or even to move up to something else. So the real goal is the little kid dream of becoming a race car driver...

I know its a far shot but Iam going to put all my energy into it and will make it happen. Never said I'll be the fastest or the best but I will get paid to drive race cars one way or the other!!!!! Even if its 50 bucks to break a motor in, that counts.

If I havent managed to build any sort of career in it by my late 20's, Coast Guard here I come. With any math intensive degree you can join their flight programs and I would become a helicopter pilot. I pick Coast Guard as well because I dont want to get shipped out somewhere weird (Alaska is still kinda weird) nor am I about killing people in anyway shape or form. I figure this way I can help buddies atleast. Do that for 20 years, live off the pension and stay in the reserve so I dont lose my mind and then try again to break into racing....People race that old in NASCAR! With the sensitivity a helicopter pilot aquires and with that many years in racing by then I better be able to whip some ass.


So there is my plan and back up plan... I know its a lot and most dont care. But fucking GOD. I have been driving myself nuts with shit like this forever now. Now if anyone wants to sponsor me or knows anyone really rich who wants to further American talent in roadracing which we have near none of let me know. For serious. Thanks for reading this if you do!!

[Matej]

Freelance terrorist yo!

I studied at a university for a semester to become an animator, but I realized that it has no future unless I went to a select few schools on the West Coast. So I transferred to a local college to take general courses, and now I have no idea where I'm heading, I'm pretty worthless, haha. Maybe I'll just transfer to some local university in a couple of years to major in business like everyone else, which seems to be the universal degree for any job, though I still like design and compuers, and I might look into computer networking.

What I really want to do in the future is have a job where I get to travel a lot, especially internationally, because I'm not good at staying in one place for more than a few hours. Does anyone know of any such jobs, and what the best career path to end up in them would be?

[BoostInnovations]

I went to school for Computer and Network Technology.

I now own a performance shop. I still love working with computers, but I'd much rather go to work and do my hobby for the rest of my life. If this falls through I will still be happy in the IT field.

I always wanted to work at a " dollar bills and poles" kinda place. but i figure i would end up with either a kid or an std, my luck lately probably both


Right now i manage a pharmaceutical warehouse. When i get bored I hang out with the "cubicle warriors" and try to learn the sales game. im currently going to school for business management.

Hopefully when i graduate i can get a high paying job and can pay off the student loans ive been racking up. Damn catch 22

Haha well I've been in the profession for a little over a year, and neither such atrocity has occured thus far, thank goodness. With a little brains it's a great way to get through college, as long as you don't subscribe to the lifestyle or try to make it a career, its just a transitional employment. That and when you're 85, you can tell your grandchildren you used to be hot and a stripper, and watch their mouths drop open.

[Baka Sama]

And whats the name of this place again? Your about a 3 hour drive from me.. Would you mind if I threw car parts on stage??

Wait a sec.. this is a girl right hahaha

Once apon a time I was close friends with a lot of strippers here in GA at Oasis. The lifestyle they live gets old fast. And they soon realize that they dont have any real friends. Which was good for me cause I got many of calls on the holidays asking me if I wanted to go hang out. I can remember one time I stayed over at this one girls house and her and her friend practiced full nude lap dances on me for half an hour. ahh... the good ol days.

[s13rookie]

Haha, i meant working at a club like that as a bouncer or doorman. I knew a couple girls who worked in that field. they said they did it to pay for school, the last time i saw them they were still dancing but not in school. the ones who can do it and walk away when they accomplished what they aimed to are the smart and lucky ones, unfortunately though they same to be the minority.

[wootwoot]

Every now and then I strip at the gay bar but thats alright.

[_shift240]

Baka Sama: Depends what sort of car parts....^_^ I need a new turbo manifold.
It's true, most of the girls I work with have no ambition, no goals, and don't understand anything about cars The stripper lifestyle worked for me for about a month, and then I grew up. Yes, it was fun waking up at 3pm, going to work, and not going to bed until 6 in the morning, and spending money on anything, but it gets really old. And, its true, you don't really have friends. You have customers, and co-workers. Explains why most of the girls I know are either bi or lesbians. We all need a little attention, haha.

[ESone3]

i'm a graphic and web designer. i don't like it anymore.

Shift240, Yeah its pretty sad actually. And I know its not the exact same thing but serving tables at resturants is just like stripping. When I first started college I got an apt. with a guy I knew who decided he wanted to be a stripper, a girl who was a server, another woman who was one of the lead people in the "Gold Club stripper scandal" (If anyone from Ga are old enough to remember that) and me who was a server/bartender. We called it the house of sin. (And believe me it was) lol.

Anyway, we would all sleep in until like 2-3pm and then all go to work "serving" customers. We would all make a little over 100.00 a day but the strippers would usually make more. We would all come home around 1-2am. Get dress and go clubin', get drunk, go to strip clubs... and just about everything else. Go to sleep around 7am. Wake up 2pm and do the whole thing over again. this was right around the time I got into my near death touge accident. If it wasnt for that accident to literally knock some sense into me I would probably still be living that life style today. Just like the servers you see in their 40's and the strippers in their 30's.

If I were you hun, I would get out while you can. The longer your there the harder it will be to leave. And being a stripper its almost impossible to be in a real relationship or keep real friends. Oh and please tell me your not one of those strippers who leaves their clothes (thongs) laying all over the living room floor.

wootwoot, Just so you know it takes alot of skill to keep it up for 30=40min at a time with no young pretty girls in sight. lol or so my old friend said.
