25 years old and deep in debt

Ide, you really do need a different 'personal' thread here on Languish; it'll do you some good to get away from this one. 

[garbon]

Yes, in fact Ide should take it as a challenge to at least avoid posting in this thread. Much like how I've avoided replying to AR4Dorsey. (And I'm admittedly doing a bang on job. )

[LaCroix]

Actually I know what it is. Being able to say I'm an assistant manager at a car rental place with the possibility of promotion! That's what it is.

i mean, it's definitely not glamorous. but, the point is to stay in the company and rise through the ranks, which opens more opportunities later down the road. not every career starts off sounding impressive

[Razgovory]

That's fair, although if I were a woman or gay and STDs didn't exist, I'd suck dick for $60k.

Still he should go for it.  It's not like he's going to see 40 anyway.

[CountDeMoney]

What doors did my history degree open that I left unexplored again?

Teaching, maybe.  That's a little tautological.

there are tons of positions that just require a four-year degree. they may have nothing to do with history, but so what? a friend of mine graduated with a liberal arts degree, interned for some car rental company, and is now an assistant manager with promotion opportunities in the future

Ide seems to operate under the impression that the Next Job You Get is The Last Job You'll Ever Have.  For somebody who doesn't believe in terminal degrees, he certainly believes in terminal careers.

Fuck, Sean Connery was a milkman.  Herman Melville was a customs bureaucrat.  Harry S. Truman asked men what side of their trousers they slung their cock.  ****** used to be an assistant manager at a rental car company.

Harry S. Truman asked men what side of their trousers they slung their cock. 

You say that like it is a negative.

It certainly isn't appropriate in the Oval Office.  Unless you're LBJ.

Scandal has taught me that everything is permitted in the oval office.

The trick is to get into a track that offers advancement, whether in a single career or with options to divert into another track.

It's harder than "get job as milkman" --> "CEO for dairy company."  It's even harder when milkman jobs are closed to you thanks to overqualification or age.

Or in this case, even more extremely hard because the job of milkman has largely disappeared due to advances in technology.

I was using it as a stand-in.

Einstein did his best work as a patent clerk.

Einstein did his best work as a patent clerk.

Which was far from a menial job.

I was going to take a writing course this summer, but between working 8 hours a day, with 3-4 hours on the road on top of that, I simply don't have the juice.  Maybe if it were 100% online, possibly, but I just can't do it.  Not 3 credits crushed into 7 weeks in the middle of a balls ass hot summer.

Plus you have lights out at 9.
