I won't be learning a new language because that would make me shitty at too many languages. I rather get proficient in at least one.

The problem is figuring out what I am going to do and HOW I will learn how to do it. A lot of the stuff is not a simple look at the API and call it good. It usually involves things that are beyond my knowledge of programming with the language.


Get a book, look at some video lectures. Look at random source code. Write a program. Quit whining.

Have you considered becoming a male hooker? Or maybe a garbage man? Those lines of work seems to suit your skill set quite well.

So unfair.



Also, wouldn't that probably be for work study students? Those types of jobs?

Kind of sad and pathetic that you didn't apply for financial assistance and work study. Work study would have opened up to you numerous opportunities for easy/cushy jobs, one that you might have been willing to take on as your first job ever.

I got a summer job today. I walked into my professors office, and asked for a research position over the summer.

He said sure and got me one.

Life is good.

I figured I wouldn't get any anyway. My family usually has a really high efc or whatever. I'll apply next year but I doubt I will get anything.

Well... My internship is still in the air. (They're realllllly slow about this) So, I am still just kinda browsing the job market at this point. Monday will be a day to start looking.

I had a couple work study jobs in college like over the summer and they were cake. It wasn't great money but who cares it was something. My parents paid for quite a bit of my college but I could still get loans and work study (through FAFSA) with a fairly high EFC so I don't think that's much of an excuse.

Fairly high? Last time I did FAFSA my parents made sub $60k a year combined yet it estimated they should be able to contribute something like $36000 a year...

I'll try again next year, but it's pretty much pointless.

wait, you did not start looking besides that first one? It's getting a little late now....most internships that hire now want people that go to a school that has a 6 month internship program, not the normal 3 month summer program.

He doesnt need an internship because he's gonna get a 60k job out of college. Guaranteed.

Nope... I did it all correctly. Maybe that's where I screwed up... I told the truth.

I said job market, not internship. I'll be looking at jobs.

:hmm:

EDIT: Actually, I may be completely misunderstanding the independent vs dependent thing, which makes a huge difference. I assumed that living alone and not taking much support from parents = may consider oneself independent, but apparently not.

Being independent makes a huge difference.

I think independence has solely to do with taxes. A person can only be claimed once. You're dependent in your parent's claim you. You're independent if you claim yourself. I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

Why would I work in a cafeteria...? I can't cook... Oh I get it. Cafeteria food is shit because people can't cook? Thus I fit the bill?

OR MAYBE YOU THINK I AM A MASTER CHEF?

Yeah, I'm not qualified for work study either... So... yeah. Man, I should have done the FAFSA. I bet I could have gotten some money.

Have you tried picking up a part-time job with the fishing boats? You're very qualified for that kind of work. You're a well-practiced Master Baiter.
