Community college for 2 years, or straight to work? Which

straight to work
make $1500 after taxes with ups, some times $2k depending how long i work

>>714243128
Any education is usually worth it. Focus on Microsoft Office, it can help you get a job

>>714243472
>per week

Nothing with a gun like that, get a semi auto or full auto. Then go straight to work. Too many people go to school.

>>714243485
Kek

Go the fuck to school. Take business admin classes. Even if you end up in the trades for a living, the education will help you run your own small business.

Straight to work, go to community college part time if you need.

21 i bought my house in cash while all my friends werent finished with thier degrees and had 40-75k in debt from student loans.

23 now, they have now finished and most dont have good jobs, nor are they in thier field except for 1... The world needs workers and skilled people, not "educated" papered man children

I'm no firearms expert, but I think that round may not be suited to that gun.

>>714243485
>Microsoft Office will help you get a job.

Is there a supreme lack of talent where you're from?

Seriously, go to work or go to a technical school. Don't go to community college unless they have good trade programs. HVac, welding, automotive or whatever the hell might interest you.

>>714243128
Go to work unless you are serious about becoming a doctor or lawyer or something that requires a degree.

get a mans job im a garbage man. man up or live life in a book faggot.

>>714243128
For real? Both.

If you want a decent job in the future without relying on sheer luck for it falling in your lap or knowing someone in the right place, you will need both experience and education. Other wise in to the garbage with your application/resume.

Lol I've got a friend who can't get out of manual labor, negate he didn't go to school. Me, however, I can't find shit because I didn't hold a full time job while getting my bachelor's degree. Every time I get denied, they say either lack of experience. or I'm "overqualified". Whatever the fuck that means

>>714243128
Work, there's nothing community college can teach you that you cant learn in your spare time on your own and quicker.

My dad always told me a 4 year degree is usually worth it, no matter what its in. Many jobs require at minimum a bachelors degree, period. Even if you got the skill, if you cant prove you studied a field for 4 plus years, you arent even going to be considered.

Also, many jobs will require at least a 4 year degree OR 10+ years field experience.

Also, I have many classmates and friends who are making probably around 60k a year and living comfortably in their early to mid 20s, whereas I am still working part time and finishing my degree. Eventually (hopefully) my degree will help me get a better paying and more comfortable job than my peers without the same education, as they are mostly plant/factory/welding jobs which require hard hats and loud noises with steel toed boots all day every day. Not the most comfortable of jobs.

>>714243472
what do you do for ups where you make 75k+ a year? Are you a driver?

>>714244752
what do you do for work?

>>714244752

23, been in CC part time since 18 and working part time.
I totally agree with this guy, go to work. and if it tickles your fancy, you can try night classes. Go to work, get your money first, I'd recommend joining a trade.
I'm in cc and gonna stop going and become a pre apprentice carpenter. Fuck CC, big sink and lifestyle change regatdless.

>>714243128
working part time to help pay for community college
continuing your education, while paying for it makes you appreciate your own hard work a lot more and can give you experience or opportunities. No need to limit yourself to just one IMO

>>714243128

If you are good at something and there is a degree to back it up then go to school.

If you have no idea what you want to do, go to work.

If you can bottom tier in your chosen profession without a degree start there and night school for upwards progression.

> Don't give a university money before you know what you are doing.

>>714243128
Why not both?

Neither. Do drugs, no real point to live up to a socialistic standard anyways.

Here are the 3 things I love to do

>Travel
>Steal
>Do drugs

Actually, whatever makes you happy OP. Do it.

Did this.

Delivered pizza while getting a CC degree in Info Tech. Got a job, did night school for bachelors while working low tier admin job, 5 years later making >100k as a computer engi.

They say that a higher education is good for your future for a reason OP. If you go to work right away you might be able to make more money up-front, but by the time you're 30 most of the people who got a 4 year degree will surpass your income. Also jobs available to the uneducated are disappearing very fast

wow, you sound like the most boring person ever. I can't wait to rob you on the street for crack money.

>>714246707
You have knowlege in something right, anything? I grew up on a farm man, working construction and skilled labor from 13 for 5$ an hour. U know what i learned its shit.

So learn something, anything marketable. I chose computer shit, got the entry level certifications, should take u 3 months. Find an entry level job, or intern position. I did a program where u can go to college at 16. So i did that so i could get a job there, get a little experience. Then transfer skills, and exagerate, lots of exagerarion, fake it till u make it with a real job. Just work hard, life is what u make it

>>714247004
Hah your definition of boring and mine are vastly different. Im the farthest person from typical IT nerd but its ok, im not talk to u, OP wanted advice, and it worked for me so i thought id share.

I went straight to work for the power company and now make $19.50 an hour driving around an excavator. I even get to purposely break shit if someone put something down that's not supposed to be there.

>>714243128
Can't get fuck all for decent work if you don't go to school. I say bite the bullet now and get access to better pay and certification.

OP here. My interests really aren't in anything that I think would make me a lot of money. I want to be an artist but I don't think I can be well off without a job that interferes with my art. I'm not sure how community college will affect my goal.

>>714247853
What is your goal?

>>714247963
To make money off art

>>714248054
I'd recommend getting a job, via education, that pays you well enough to support your art hobby.

Chances are high that demand for your art is low.

>>714247712
$20/hr isn't that great these days.

>>714243128
Heres what I can say about community college.
I went from HS to a 4 year school, a good one at that, and I pissed it away living "the college life". Although I did attend class and try for almost half my time there. That being said - when I did take it seriously - it was relatively tough. Requires alot of dedication to studying, which I didnt have.

Fastforward 1 yr after dropping out as a junior after my 4th year at the 4 year school - went to CC to get my associates degree. It was easy as shit, barely put in the effort I did at the 4 yr and 'graduated' with a 3.75gpa.
Super fucking easy.

My point is this - if you think it would help in your perspective career, go CC. If you plan on a 4 year, go CC for 2. If you plan on being in a field that requires no education - then why bother. But its super eaay, similar to HS.

>>714248054
CC teaches art classes for cheap. Don't waste money at a for-profit art school.

>>714247853
I mean you could just get some kind of a degree for carpentry, welding, or whatever and just use that to skate by relatively comfortably while you pursue art. The hard part is thinking about what if it doesn't work out, and you're a 30 year old failed artist with not much of a realistic career path.

If I were you I would go to school for at least an associates and put a lot of effort into art in your free time. If you know how to correctly manage your time CC is kind of a cakewalk.

Just be careful about committing to something risky with no real backup plan is what I'm trying to say

>>714248258
There is this kid on my facebook in college that can produce large 6' x 8' photo realism portraits of people, celebreties, scenery. You name it. He makes a killing but is in college. I dont see why u cant have your hobby make you a steady stream of cash on the side. You just need a good skill that people will pay for

>>714244752
I was a network tech out of high school, moved to OK and bought a house. Now I moved back to Florida and am paying my way through college debt free. Spend most of my time trading Forex, going to school, and playing vidya.

>>714243128
CC is basically useless if you don't play on using it to learn trade skills or as pre-university. If you're going pre-university it's a great approach to save money. What ever happened with the Promise Program for free CC? If that's still a thing I'd take advantage of it.

>>714248434
That's impressive. Does he make 60k a year doing it?

/b/ro, i'm literally in the same boat. I want to be a writer and I recently made a similar decision. I've decided to fuck college, I'm going to move to LA and be starbucks barista and make money just for traveling.

I'm just going to drift from place to place for a few years and see if I can find a good reason to write something interesting other than money. If your going into an art you can't go down that straight and narrow path, just fucking do fun shit until you feel like doing art about that fun shit.

If I fail I'm going to move back home and get an associates degree in HVAC and live the rest of my life in pitiful agony.

>>714244752
can tune in with this. just bought my 1st house last year at 20 y/o while all of my friends are going to school or in debt. feels good man

You got any discernible skills? Welding? Auto body? Any sort of specific manual labor, or are you going into McDonald's or some shit?

>me
>30/m
>GED
>Fucked off half my working life with bullshit labor jobs making NOTHING...
>Joined Army
>Infantry
>Kicked doors and put holes in souls for a while
>Drawdown, little hope for going back to war
>Got home
>No fucking good jobs.
>Thank fuck for GI Bill.

So here I sit, making about 2 grand a month off the GI bill whilst pursuing some bullshit business degree... Not sure if I'm gonna try to open a gun parts company, pot dispensary, or try my hand at law school... I was always good at law, and I blew my business law professor the hell away last year... Really leaning towards the latter, unless I get picked up by a PMC...

Doubt he makes that much, he charges 500-1000 per painting though.

Maybe hes selling himself short but i dont know anything about art

>>714248816
>how to literally become homeless

Whynotboth.jpg? Join army, shoot guns, enroll in college for night school while still in, get associates degree and 9/11 GI Bill. Get out, get paid to go to school (tuition, books and E-5 BAH) for 4 years to get BA (fuck bitches, drink have fun) graduate debt free having lived like a king. Oh yeah, enlist 25B or 17C, get Sec+, CCNA, etc. while enlisted. Make 75k upon grad from your party time at "college"

>>714243128
That's my gun nigga

Unless you want to do something specific that requires college, don't waste your time or money and get to work

Straight to work. Put as much capital aside as possible. Learn how to trade while working, invest in trading.

Looking for a bit of a discussion on physical attraction based on demographic and its possible links to media and cultural blending.

With a rising trend in physical attraction towards women who are "thick" or "Curvy", could this possibly be tied to a more primal and or african driven movement?

I would recall that women and men who were less physically fit and on a heavier side in history had a better chance of mating.

This was because overweight mates tend to be fed more and produce offspring with higher chances of survival.

And with a largely african driven social media could this have an affect on other races in a more modern society to think in the same terms rather than a more fit mate to suit new social roles of the society we live in today.

Could this also be a method used by people of lesser physical aptitude and less drive to seek betterment to have a sort of dissillusion that they are perfectly in shape or normal?

I encourage anyone and everyone with an opinion to please respond.


TL:DR does a largely african driven social media sway other races to view sexual preference and physical attraction differently
