ITT tech REDZ? i'm goin' for the same thing, but i think i will go to UMD for a while to get my life organized.

me? waiter. good food. good money. school is work. period. tongue.gif

 

haha...I used to work for SUBWAY a while ago, quit in two weeks!!!

That job was freakin gay...yours may be better tho, I had had some
foreign boss who couldn't speak english b****in at me all the time.
She had me workin 8 hour shifts like 9-10 days in a row cuz she couldn't
hire no1 else...with no overtime!!! evil.gif

I was gettin screwed...with my pants ON, so I got the f*uck outta there

 

you quit in 14 days, yet she scheduled 9-10 days in a row? interesting

 

no OT? my restaurant is cheap and don't pay OT either, nor get health insurance. they don't care about us. we are just machines. woring 9 days in a row at subway must be a drag... especially long shifts with low wages. OMG. i'd quit in 1 sec. i'd also quit if the conditions were unfair id co-workers would become lazy and i'd have to do their work for them. i've experienced that before... sooooo unfair.

instead of paying OT, they yell at me to get off the clock because it ruins labor time and the owner is paying for the extra time. :roll:

 

school is DEF my job right now...these accounting/finance classes are killing...thanks double major

anywho, on breaks i work at LoBill's, a local grocery store. i cashier...we only have 6 checkout lines. the first year or so i worked there, got lots of hours. now they hired a bunch of dumb mother f***ers and they cant work with shit, but i get the shaft with 15-20 hour weeks. kinda hard to make any money evil.gif stupid whores

i had an interview to intern at Dayton Freight for 2 years, $10 an hour...but they never called me back **sigh**

TIBWRC, is accounting in the real world what it is in the classroom? better question is is it better or worse? i'm really not lovin my classes....

anyone have a job suggestion for history majors (my true love)?

**EDIT** WOAH! where'd the language censor go???

 

well i do road construction that consist of laying down 450 degree thermo plastic. so when you see thos arrows, stop lines and croswalks on the road, thats what i do. some people think that it is paint, well it is thermo plastic and it is HOT... yea it reall sucks when you splatter yourself with it, especially in the arm pit like i did the other day.

oh and i am a performance mechanic at a mustang shop. we build 6 and 7 second drag radial class mustangs. i race a true street mustang but i love my tiburon a million times more than any of the race cars.

matter of fact here are a few pictures of the race cars.

look through the windshield of this car, look at the turbo by the coke machine.


that turbo is on this car


here I am working on my true street car

 

I feel ya on the classes......matter of fact I failed the accounting class I took in college. But I had alot going on then, like my GF (for over a year) moving to Germany. That seriously screwed up my life....

but now, looking back on it (the class) It was nothing compared to some of the stuff my co-workers have to deal with.

While at this point last year I was doing AP,AR, and collections, now we have someone dedicated to AP, another dedicated to some of our AR and collections, which basically leaves me with the Billing and the rest of AR.

To answer your question...I've seen alot that was never covered in the class, and also seen stuff that at the time i thought was extremely hard, but after real world experience isn't that hard at all.

I guess it really depends on what kind of accounting you would like to do.

ie :
AP
AR
PR
or whether you are looking at being something like a controller, where it would be more of the advanced stuff, but really more theory than hands on accounting.

 

No, we have a community college here called TVI, Technical Vocational Institute. There are like 6 campuses across Albuquerque. The VA will pay me to go there for 2 years, then 2 years at University Of New Mexico to get my bachelors.

 

Mechanical engineering major at U of L is my job right now, work for my Dad at his own machining company on breaks, and use it to make parts for the tib. =)

 

Yeah I know, I looked that up when I saw where ya lived. If you ever come up here be sure and lemme know.
