Don't put sh!t on credit!

Don't put sh!t you can't afford on credit (or rather don't get it at all), if you can afford it put it on credit and immediately pay it off. It'll make things that require good credit, like a home loan, easier to get.

hm.
grats!

Don't get her pregnant before you have a job with insurance?
Try to pay attention in college.
Don't put sh!t on credit!
Jelly will actually keep outside of the fridge way longer than you would think.
Same for salsa.
If your dog continually gets UTIs and your vet dismisses it, find another vet. It's probably bladder cancer.
Don't sleep on the couch on a regular basis. Your back will punish you years later.
You're young. Start a retirement fund now.
The older you get, the faster time seems to pass. I am NOT exaggerating.
Keep up with the good friends. Screw the rest.
Relationships are based on compromise, else it's just a one-way street.
Be humble? lol. Sooner or later you will get old and the younger generation will begin to **** you off the way you are probably pissing off my generation now. Lion King stuff, that. Circle of life and all.
Look up Lion King.
Left lane is for passing. Especially if you're asian.
Blinker first. Then brakes. Especially if you're asian.
uuh...

If you have a dream, make time for it. Otherwise, the day-to-day routine will take over and before you realize, a decade or more has passed and you're stuck in debt, 2 divorced angry wives are leaving cryptic death-threats on your mobile, kids that you've forgotten exist are asking for money, and a cat that keeps vomiting meow-mix into the carpet for all to see. Then you have a stroke and have to pee through a tube till even the Hospice forgets about you. hm.

yeah.
grats?

He's not lying. I just entered 11th grade but even still, my life is goIng hella fast. Be punctual. Don't procrastinate. Get stuff done on time. JUST DO IT.

Stop making me feel old.

Making you feel old?

Ive met people that have told me I look like I'm 24+. I'm only 16.

I have a decent beard. (Haven't shaved in a month, usually shave every Wednesday). I have hair EVERYWHERE. I am a dam.n super aging gorilla. I am seen as a very mature and serious person irl, which emhances my "oldness" to other people.

5 minutes feels like 1 minute to me. Time is going by too fast. I'm also obsessed with soccer and news

Been a hella long road I wanna give a shoutout to all you peeps for the great battles, responsibility of owning corporations, and serving under some AMAZING CEOS. I'll be lurkin around that Alpha test 07

Don't put sh!t on credit!

You should definitely use credit but absolutely without compromise do not spend more than you can pay off at the end of the month and DO pay it off at the end of every month.

I tell most people to only put food and gas on credit as those get some decent rewards depending on your card and you know you are not going to eat or drive yourself into a giant debt hole. As tempting as it will be when you want a new PC or console or whatever do not buy it until you have the money to pay for it when the bill comes due. Once they get you into the interest spiral you will lose a lot getting back out of it.


The sooner you start building history the better off you will be when it comes time for big purchases like houses and cars.

I thought since I could just buy what I wanted with cash I should stay away from credit completely but that seriously bit me in the ass when it was time to get credit. I even had an apartment refuse me when I offered to pay 6 months of the lease on the spot because I was 25 years old and had a blank credit history.

Whaaaaaat? Damn. I mean, credit or not, that's half a year of prepaid living, more than enough time to et ready to move out of you can't pay or anything, but yeah, OP manage credit wisely. As my AP NSL teacher has told me (and he does), use it for necessities and needs (like food and gas, make a budget plan). Don't use it for expensive wants.

lol.
i guess i should have typed, "Don't put sh!t on credit!"

That's the problem with profanities. They are so broad and interchangeable that it becomes difficult to get your point across.

Am I right that what you are trying to say is, "don't put unnecessary junk on credit" or am I still misinterpreting your statement?

I'll give you one advise. Don't ever go for a liberal arts degree.

Thank you everyone!!

And congrats to all my other graduates and shout out to you Delt:) I played with you only once but you were chill AF

And Dust User....I'll try

I beg to differ!
I got arguably one of the most liberal of liberal arts degrees! Fine Art - Studio Painting! Well, maybe behind theater and russian literature. =\ Yeah. we were inundated with drop-outs from every other major thinking they could get a degree in finger painting, but still! I'm working in Gov't Contracting as a result of screwing around with design, flash, and 3dmax! Well. Intermixed with oil painting and sculpture =\

Maybe i'm of the minority. derno.
I'm just rambling before getting back to work and this seemed as good a topic to reply to as any.
Point: fill in the gaps with usable classes, regardless of your path.
I guess.

YMMV.
(topic-wise)

Just out of curiosity do you get the job because of your degree or because you acquired shills in design in flash doing that on the side?

First, the irony of me replying with a specific counter to Maken's generalized statement as compared to my earlier just as general comment on using credit is not lost on me!


Second, that is a tough question to answer. While I earned a foot in the door due to knowing a bit about 3dsmax, flash, photoshop, etc., I do not believe I would have ever ventured into those applications had it not been for the curriculum of my degree, nor would I have had the curiosity and understanding to dig into something so foreign to me at the time (I can only speak for myself).

As a fine art student we shared the same two-year fundamental courses as students in graphic design, illustration, and to a lesser degree architecture. That's six quarters of color theory, 2d/3d drawing, perspective drawing, figure drawing, 2d-design, histories, and related electives that all laid a foundation of design principles that really apply to most anything. For me, learning to observe something, recognize my assumptions of that observed something, then work to change my perspective of that something to see things differently to hopefully find a better way of seeing/doing a new something was a game changer for me. Granted personality plays a role, but they both feed each other.

Those fundamental courses opened doors to software applications I never knew existed. No, they did not teach these applications, but we did use Photoshop. Quark, PageMill (lol?) and FreeHand. I'm talking Photoshop 4: Big Electric Cat days, and that was enough to get the ball rolling. The perspective that my fine art courses taught me helped to really dig into new things to learn new ways of learning. So I taught myself various multimedia programs along the way mostly because I had never seen anything like it before. This was literally my first experience with the internet back in the late 90s. There were no online videos to learn from. It was all just trial and error really. That and books. Anyway, my point is that while my software skills got me in, it was my ability to change my perspective on matters that really helped me troubleshoot problems well before they became problems. That's a universal application if done right. I'm not sure I would have had that without the degree. Not to that level at least.

We have programmers that come and go. They are excellent technically, but lack any sort of empathy towards the end user to really consider what might be most efficient or aesthetically pleasing when developing some online app or whatever. I believe that's a result of their chosen curriculum and attitudes fostered there. Maybe that's a regional thing, but it's what I've noticed. They have the "degree" in a field that should be good choice relative to say mine. They come and go. The guy that was working here when I started could write code and played with Flash Actionscript (as1) and 3dmax. The problem was he never saw the projects as anything but something to get done. Appearance, efficiency, and design were never really part of the effort for him. It was all very sterile and by the numbers. When I came on board I started making things he either couldn't do or wouldn't. This is anecdotal and I'm rambling.

I've been here going on my 16th year. I no longer use Flash or 3dsmax (unfortunately), but I've outlasted literally every other employee except the owner. I can't help but think that the skills learned in my degree program had a strong influence in my survival. It's not for everyone, of course. I think students need to be really smart with how they handle electives regardless of their chosen degree.

Generally, Maken is probably right about his statement and I can reluctantly agree with that. But then we should be considerate to what actually defines success and happiness for the individual. That's not really the point of all this so I'll just shup' here!



It's 2:30am and I've been on the road for about 6 hours. I hope my typing is at least partially on point to what you asked.
g'nite!

ANOTHER ONE- don't spend money on expensive razors (Gillette, schick, etc). They are overpriced. But a safety razor and blades. Much much MUCH cheaper and you can get a good clean shave.

And even better,dont shave your beard,use wax

Why?

Multiple uses.Cheap.Lasts longer.Makes your hair thinner

Why not?

It takes some time (like half an hour or so) and it cant be done everyday.Also it let your skin red-ish.

I use it like once a month for the beard and twice for the moustache,and yep,i have finished Highschool too.Im gonna choose the next academic level (here is "bachillerato",lasts 2 years and then the university)

Dollar shave club for the win.

While I prefer an over priced electric razor DSC is actually not a bad setup.

I had actually totally overlooked that but you make a hilarious point.

I only ask because I never went through any formal education but worked my way up to a great spot through experience. I now do a lot of hiring and management and see some amazing variations in peoples backgrounds and how they grow and develop as they go along. I deal with mostly people that are new to bigger scale programming and design so I am always curious on that. I really wish I could figure out the formula on hiring there I suppose.

It is funny that you bring up the whole programmers and designers cooperation as all in all I find that to be the hardest thing ever. The two groups just seem to think SOOOOO differently that matching up the two sides is always interesting.

I would actually like to talk a little more on the subject. Do you have an Eve character or a friend on Eve I can send my skype to to try to get some more chat going?

I guess. $36 a year for the cheapest one isn't bad and they probably last a good 2-3 shaves.

The executive razor tho, SIX DAMN BLADES LIKE WTF

Acquire currency.
