The Work Force

Having more than a 6 month gap in work history, even if you were a student during the gap, will cause many employers to overlook your application.

Random question: Would you rather have somebody with 5 years of experience that will be average immediately, or somebody with no experience but a college education and will be above average after a couple weeks? You might think the answer would seem obvious, but companies just don’t have the vision anymore to develop employees in such an elastic hiring environment.





Class Cost

Most online classes cost more than classroom classes…definitely idiotic.





The GRE

I’m studying for the GRE.

I’m doing much better on the Verbal than the Quantitative. I guess that’s pretty typical since I haven’t done any math in almost 5 years.

I’m shooting for a perfect score, but I’d be happy with a 750 Verbal and a 700 Quantitative.





Comedy Central Open Mic Challenge

If you haven’t ever seen Mitch Hedberg, look him up first. Anything is great.

This is what I’ve been up to:

Taking a Break

I’m going on indefinite hiatus. Writing about school/learning during the summer is a difficult task because I don’t want to write and nobody wants to read.

So, in a sense, this is a win-win.

’til next time!

Does Having an Attractive Teacher Make Learning Easier or More Difficult?

hot-teacherI haven’t really had an attractive teacher in a long time, but I remember back in middle school there were a few lookers.

What I’ve found is that teachers who are more attractive on the INSIDE make learning easier, whereas teachers who just look pretty on the outside complicate things.

I never had both at the same time, but I imagine if I ever had’ve I probably would’ve gotten down on one knee.





Screw Experience: 5 Reasons Young People Should Be Hired Anyway

productivityAre you tired of finally finding a job that seems to have everything you want only to have to give up because you don’t have 3-5 years experience operating sandpaper?

Experience simply doesn’t mean very much if you have already shown you can learn quickly. Think of all the things you have that older workers do not:

1. Little to no obligation.

Most of you don’t have kids yet. A few of you are married, but until you have kids you really don’t have much, if anything, to worry about.

2. Willingness to be worked





Consolidating Loans: If You Got a Loan Before July 2006 You Need to Know This

fireworksYou should wait until July 1st to consolidate any loans because historically low interest rates will go into effect at this time.

Check out theĀ Federal Direct Loan Consolidation program in July to take care of this.

It kind of sucks that everybody who got a loan after July 2006 gets screwed, but that’s the way it goes.

It seems to me that the only reason this is happening is to take a burden off of those individuals born prior to 1983. They are already in the workforce, and it will make things easier …
