i've made $15k a year (way under poverty)
That's about what I raked in during my years of trying to live the Bohemian lifestyle. Fun, but kind of rough. I'd have traded it for a solid forty hour workweek, and steady paychecks.
What kind of a degree do you have, -1?
got a B.S. (bachelor of science) in mathematics from state
college in houston, TX. emphasis on Numerical Analysis.
minored in: physics, computer science, and electrical engineering
==============================
i've had two jobs that i've actually used the degree at,
modelling space station physics at Hughes-Lockheed for NASA,
and mathematical radar modelling for the US government
at the Naval Airbase in maryland.
every other job, i just learned on the spot or had no
experience. the sales job was the best, because i
was a videogame addict, and knew about videogames
inside and out. i didn't even want to be paid, because
i got to play for free, and got the job because my friend
was a manager there...
my degree is still in the cardboard tube that the
college sent me, practically unopened. i've checked it once
and never looked at it again. i was an average
student with a 2.5 / 4.0 GPA, and 3.0 in my major.
the DEGREE IS USELESS, except as a checkmark
to get a reference. i've gone back to try getting
a masters degree twice, but lost interest, and
decided to self teach myself what i needed to know.
college was a waste of time for me, but i know
others that were much smarter, learned more, or had more fun.
i spent most of the time in the gameroom, and
playing videogames.. i never talked to people, professors,
or girls. it was just something to kill time doing.
i hated my original major of electrical engineering,
and flunked out with a 0.5 GPA after 2 years.
got kicked out by my parents, and was homeless
for a very short time.
i went back, because i had nothing better to do and
wanted to straighten out to accomplish something
with myself.
i liked math (ever since i was in grade school).
i lucked into computer programming, and that's
about the only useful skill i felt good about doing
although i'm mediocre at it.
i have NO respect for money, or real use for it,
i've got everything i thought i could want (a few
times over), and am now in the process of getting
rid of everything again.. i live in an apartment,
drive a 19 year toyota corolla (given to me
by a colleague for $1), have no furniture
except a futon, and basically live in a darkened
bedroom with 1 lamp (that i don't turn on).
everything else i own is packed away in
storage tubs or is electronic/computer related.
i should have become a
monk.. (or at least an electronic one)..
later

It could be a poem.

Alright, stop that, stop that. It's silly. It's really silly. It started with a nice picture about a very very very very tall building and a white rabbit, but it's gotten far too silly. I think the readers are tired of scrolling on their mouse wheels to skip this picture. Now, I for one love little rabbits, especially white ones, cause they're cute little furry creatures, although I've heard some of them can be quite vicious indeed... But skyscrapers get really annoying really fast, and this particular picture has long lost its novelty.
So, I would advise everyone to get back to posting Random Pictures, this is the Random Pictures thread, not the "Skyscraper and bunny" thread, otherwise I'll have to ask the thread to be closed.
...... Get on with it!
