8ight Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I dont think they are saying drop out entirely. Just a semester or two break get established at your job than go back. I had to take a semester break at one point and pick up an extra job. You just have to be committed to go back. and follow through. Once you leave you never go back, period. Everyone thinks they can quit for a while, then it's too hard to clear their schedule for it and go back. Quote I'm gonna hate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herokight Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Man, I've considered taking the next semester off. I already put 5k into it, so I'm going back. I love to learn, and it's the only way to get ahead and get the job I want. The labor rent would be the case if I stayed at my fiance's. I don't mind it at all. I already do work around the house when I'm there. I wouldn't even mind buying my own groceries and such. It'd just be a matter of her and her mom being ok with it. I mean, she said they'll help me out all they can, and the biggest help they can give right now is give me a place to stay until I get on my feet.

TheBetterMethod Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 I'm curious what you're going to school for? The degree I mean. I went to school for two years, got two degrees and worked part-time at BK the whole time. I didn't need the degrees I got to get the job i have. I applied at an employment agency after school and they called me within a couple weeks with a job offer. Long story short, I'm still there (as a regular employee) about 20 months later. I realize it's different for everybody. For me, two degrees just looks good on paper. They don't mean spit to me as far as making me more money or getting me a good job.

I aim to major in Music Education and minor in Music Performance on tuba and bass, with a jazz certification on bass. I have heard good things about Hardee's. It's very easy to become a shift manager and climb up the ladder to GM there, unless they just tell you they're gonna move you into management and use you like they did to my future brother-in-law. I bust my ass and do EVERYTHING by the book though, so I might give that a shot. I'm very customer oriented in my job because I know that it sucks ass when you get shitty service. I like to see when people keep coming back because I took the time to correct a mistake or whatnot, instead of being snobby and rude like the other people I work with. 9 times out of 10 when someone else is dealing with a customer and they get angry I can start talking to them and correct the problem and have them walk away completely happy, so that might help me move up faster if I can start working there. If that was the case, I'd just work my way up into upper management and do that. I actually enjoy my job as far as what I do, but I don't enjoy the place I work because of my irrational, idiotic managers and coworkers that make me feel like I'm in high school again.

Herokight Posted June 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 At this rate, I'm a bit worried that the system I put in my car wasn't such a bad idea, because it might be my only way to pass time in a month... =/ Hooray for sleeping in a car...

Been there done that. Walmart is an excellent location, get a gym membership to pass time and shower. It's funny because I originally went to school for music education, with a minor in performance (trumpet) and voice Quote 1992 Mazda 323 http://www.stevemead...323-wall-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herokight Posted June 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 I'm not the first person at UWG that has been homeless and gone to school, and I won't be the last. One of my good buddies in jazz band was homeless for a whole year. He spent some nights in practice rooms and such. Might have to do it. My fiance's mom is going to let me store a lot of things at her house in her shed. Thank god. I can get my mom's stuff put away and kept safe at least. It's been a long five years. mainly the last two. My mom had been ill since I was in 7th grade. She had her first heart attack that year, and then a year later had open heart surgery. I spent most of my high school career taking care of her, which is the main reason my grade were horrible and I graduated with an "eh" gpa. My parents were splitting up mid 2010, and dad lost his job in August of 2010, the day before my mom was moving out. She passed away in January 2011, after my dad had been reconsidering the whole ordeal and thought about asking her to come home. Spent most of those months going between three different places. My mom's apartment, my dad's house, and my fiance's (who was then only my girlfriend). Me and my mom didn't along so well, seeing as how I felt my teenage years were robbed and such. Plus she had changed into a totally different person. She was always angry about something and always lashed out for control. We did get along a lot better before she passed away though, but I'll never leave anything else unsaid. Life ends so quick... It's only too sad the doctor was right... We were told after her surgery that she was morbidly obese, if she didn't get healthy and lose 100lbs she wouldn't see me graduate... My dad's been pretty bad, has still been out of work, and still hasn't gotten over it. That's pretty much where I'm stuck in the middle of things... He got way behind on house payments, and the auction is July 3rd. He might be able to keep it after he gets his tax return, but at best that would only delay things and give both of us more time to act and come up with a plan. He's used me a lot, so I'm moving by myself. He has his own issues to resolve, and I have my own life to live. So... That's where I'm at. I have a lot of people willing to help. If I have to, I have family in Hiram as well that might let me stay with them for a bit, but they already have a packed house. Looks like camping or couch surfing it is. I'm sprry for the pitty party, guys. Just kinda giving you things from my perspective. Quote Lane AKA HeroKight '96 Jeep Cherokee Classic 4x4 R.I.P. Molliboo $200 for new tires, on a jeep!?
