Enron and I also work in call centers.

However, your math is off.... it would be $16!

It was part time.

That's why you all have to get a job that gives tips. I get minimum wage from my employer yet I actually make more like 20-25$ an hour because of tips.

I assume you work in a restaurant or something? California is a state that pays minimum wage + tips, but some states don't & can get away with paying a ridiculously low wage because they say the tips make up for it.

Where Burke and I live employers can pay a minimum wage of $2/hr so long as their employees receive tips.

So true. It sucks, but you've got a ridiculous amount of company.

(Even I haven't had a 401k in 2 years... match or no match. )

That's true. The company is too big, probably the largest issue (no pun). I'm an entry level employee and I routinely receive secure emails from a team in Frankfurt, Germany that deals with IT security (one of their members has the same last name as me and the first name starting with A).

I didn't know your last name was "Hitler".

My last name isn't German.

My last name isn't German.

I suspected something didn't sound right about the Flying Molendas.

 

[Enron]

Did you have to post it twice?

Did you have to post it twice?

I didn't want to, but apparently I had to. Forums acting weird with timeouts and slow submit times. Dupes tend to happen in these strange times.

I'm not giving handies in the back of a Best Buy, fuckface.

You sound bitter. Do i make more money than you? that must suck you graduated from college years ago right?

It was part time.

Yup. And i'll make twice that once i'm actually serving.

Ah yeah, I've never worked in a restaurant or anything, I've mostly stuck to retail/sales type jobs... totally not using my degree. :depressed

 

[Enron]

Your degree is in serving?

No haha, that's not what I meant. Was just saying that out of minimum wage jobs, I've never been a server, mostly just sales type stuff.

My degree is in psychology but it's hard to break into the field without a master's. I guess that's what I get for studying something that interests me without actually thinking about what I'd do with it in the future, and my professors were zero help whenever I asked them about internship opportunities or career guidance. Going back to school is definitely something I think about a lot, but now that I'm moving (which before I wouldn't have foreseen happening in a million years) I'm not sure how that's going to go. Will probably consider my options again once I'm settled in UK.

A degree in psychology without a doctorate is about as good as a degree in Port Management and living in Aimes.

Seriously, I'm curious. Where in California, what school did you attend, what's your age, and why move to the UK in a year?

I live in the Bay Area, went to San Francisco State. I'm 24 & I'm moving to the UK because that's where my fiance lives.

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

Well, at least you can spell. Fiancée

Okay, great answer, begs the male part. Brit grown, you met in school, Cali boy, you met in school, why on a Juve board?

 

[Ragazza]

We didn't meet here, we originally met online. For now we've just been taking turns visiting each other. He proposed last time I went out to see him (did it at the Milan derby), so after we are able to get my visa sorted out & get married we can finally live together. There's just some financial red tape right now which is why I have to wait until next year.

And why am I here? Because I'm a masochist, of course.

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

Well played. I know there have been issues with my lass, and to each his or her own, but best of luck to you lot.

You don't have any practical experience?
So, when will the Mexicans take over McDonalds?

Thanks.

You don't have any practical experience?

The best I have is that I volunteered to help some graduate students with their senior projects (participating in their experiments/surveys/what have you) but that is nowhere near good enough of course. It would have been better if I'd been able to get an internship at a psychologist's office or helped out in a lab actually doing some sort of research, but I never came across any of those opportunities (or when I did, someone who had better qualifications than me got the job instead).

So I thought I might be able to find an internship after I graduated, but most of them turned out to be designed only with students in mind, which made me ineligible. And most other jobs in the field will ignore you if you never had internship experience, or else they require you to have a master's.

Part of the problem might have been my fault because I probably should have taken uni a little more seriously than I did, but my professors & career advisor were near useless my entire time there. All of a sudden it was my senior year & I just felt completely lost.

That sounds harsh. I'm pretty sure internships are part of the education here. Three years ago, I spoke with a girl and she quit psychology, cause they cutted down on the practical experience. I have no idea how it is now, though.
