My management degree is worthless because employers look at me, ignoring my5 years of management experience and say, "Why should I hire you just because you have a degree?" Different fields are better? Nope. The only degree worth getting is nursing or computer science. I have many friends with degrees and shitty jobs. One has no job. One with a master's degree in psychology is working for $10/hr at a nursing home.

And to comment on part of your response you edited out: I worked 7 days a week in college and it only paid for my books and meal plan. The other $120k plus interest is slowly being leeched every month. I'm down to $93k or so.
Okay, so you have five years experience in management AND a management degree, and you're having trouble finding well-paying work?

I chose not to live on campus after the first year because of how much of a ripoff it was. Our meal plan alone was like 5 grand. So if you covered books (1k plus) and a meal plan by working, I'd say that's a job well done.

Higher education is a business, and I completely understand what you're saying. I just don't think it was right to call it a waste of money when it's one of the best tools out there to market yourself to prospective employers.

New brakes, all 4 corners. Except 1 of the Brembo brake pad retaining pins is stuck in the caliper -_-

Also, engineering is not a safe major.

Were you able to do this without popping the valve cover?

I like the look of the painted coolant bottle. Also the paint in the blower and valvecover looks great

Yeah I paid for that except my books were an easy $600-1200 each. I also paid rent, utilities, and a car payment when my Nova blew up. No, I'm not able to find an excellent paying job. I'm white and don't speak Spanish. That's two strikes against me here. Has been my whole life. Currently working hobby lobby. It pays the bills and allows me stability so I'll take it. Would love to move to Tennessee or Virginia or something. Management isn't what I wanted anyway but I like money.

Maybe saying college is a waste of money was a bit harsh but in my situation, if I hadn't met my little brother, it would have been.

Thanks. I think they look better black than clear. I left the bottom half un painted so I can still see the fluid level.

Started having my car remote tuned with HP Tuners, on my 4 revision and I have to say I'm impressed with how tuning has woken this car up, I should have done this a lot sooner.

Because I'm a ******* retard. I set it in the cup-holder thinking I was going to open it. Then I got bothered by someone and forgot to open it. It sat in direct sunlight for like 4 hours before I got off work and found it exploded.

I'm going to take a crack at making retros of my own with my stockers. May not be bass wave quality, but I love messing around and trying stuff, so I'll give it a shot. Got these used with a set if switch back LED lights for 120$. Plus they have smoke film on them. They'll do for now
