 ). To be honest, I think the B and I are tier2: you can't start off being a B or I. You have to be either E or S in order to have money and business network to become B or I.When it comes to career advise, consider the time-money ratio and what you consider important. What I see a lot around me is people who are so busy working that they no longer have time to enjoy their income. People that buy a 2000 dollar mountain bike because they like cycling... but they never find time ride it. I'm on the other side of the spectrum. I work less than 40 hours a week, which gives me a slightly lower income but more time for family and fun stuff. I like it a lot, but everyone should find his own sweet spot. In my experience it's easier to ask your boss for a pay raise than it is to ask your boss for extra days off. That's why I started off with more time and less money: I expected to raise my income to a decent level later on, and it has. Haven't regretted that decision ever. Bottom line: money is great stuff, but so is time. Most of the time, there's a trade-off between the two. Find a career that suits your individual needs | ||

I work in PCA-quality at an electronics manufacturer and I like it but it's no dream job. If anything better paying or better sounding pops up I'll probably switch. I have no idea what I want to be though. My career choice after Uni has been mostly dictated by the needs of my family and daughter. I want the steady income and i want to stay in the city I'm currently in so the choices are rather slim, though not non-existent. | ||

Right now, I find my science subjects incredibly dull and difficult, (Probably because of how big of a step it was from junior to senior, makes me not enjoy the subject, so stupid -.- ) Anyway, I'm taking statistics and calculus next year, with sociology, classics and Biology, the only science which I still kind of enjoy. I'm interested at Psychology and intending to do Psychology at uni, what do you guys think? (Just want to get peoples opinion real quick) EDIT: Sorry guys, accidently wrote philosophy when i was supposed to write Psychology, lol. But thanks to responses. | ||

(Just want to get peoples opinion real quick) I did philosophy for three years at uni. Its an awesome subject, but it is basically useless. I never found it particularly hard but you need very good English with some of the texts, you might end up reading stuff like the treatise of human nature by Hume and wondering is it even written in English. I would say the subject is not for everyone but it can be great. | ||

State employment doesn't pay very well but my job has lighting things on fire and exploding things. I am satisfied with this. | ||

In any case, you're invoking a sort of tu quoque argument on me when you say I shouldn't criticize someone because I'm flawed myself. By the way, here are some articles regarding Rich Dad Poor Dad. The ones from the Wall Street Journal Op/Ed, Slate, and John Treed's site are probably the most interesting. http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/number_1/2002/06/if_i_were_a_rich_dad.html http://online.wsj.com/article/SB116052181216688592.html?mod=money_page_left_hs http://www.cbc.ca/marketplace/2010/road_to_rich_dad/main.html http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/06/03/1086203560484.html?from=storyrhs http://www.johntreed.com/Kiyosaki.html http://www.thesimpledollar.com/2007/04/07/review-rich-dad-poor-dad/ http://www.thesimpledollar.com/2007/01/26/deconstructing-robert-kiyosaki/ That John T Reed piece is great. Watching a BS artist get their story torn apart in every possible way is singularly amusing. I think it would be an excellent and rewarding job, but I'm not sure enough demand exists to sustain it. Perhaps there's a niche in the talk show arena, doing fact-checking on guests with over-inflated opinions of themselves. | ||

Another reason why I chose this major is because I want to move west, San Francisco to be specific (I have a cousin who lives in the Bay Area right now, and her and her fiance are willing to let me live with them for as along as I need to get out on my own out there). This leads to another thing. I've been a fan of IGN all of my life, and now that IPL is out and eSports is growing everyday, San Francisco is a great place to get involved with eSports from my perspective. Only recently have I started playing SC (with no RTS background at all) and I'm hooked, it's all I think about when I'm not doing homework or studying, honestly. So with a degree that is heavily based on computers, while playing a computer game, it's interesting for me, thinking that one day I could maybe be helping make games like these. And even if not, I've got a backup plan for journalism, which would go hand in hand with my interest in gaming and help me land a job somewhere like IGN (although that will be incredibly tough I'm assuming). I've always looked at the big picture, my advice to you is that you need to specify to yourself exactly what you want out of life (for example, I wanted to move West, and I'm interested in computers, and Computer Science is fairly large in the west compared to the east). After you can specify what you want, you need to evaluate your options, and if any of those options interest you, do it! TL;DR - Dream big, aim high, and do what suits you. | ||

The schooling portion of my learning was somewhat rough; 20 credits/semester with 15+ hours of lab work, including a cadaver lab, and a 16 credit summer semester. This is, of course, after acceptance to the program after completing all pre-requisites and interviewing for the spot. If you have an interest in providing health care, but aren't sure you want to commit to med school, being a Physician Assistant might be a viable option for you. | ||
