[ECONOMY]Az: Science Graduate, MBA Student, construction worker

[Az]

lol

I love this economy. I've been getting some job offers lately, but nothing hot. So I am thinking Gradschool - Enviromental Science, in addition to my MBA. However I'll have some additional classes I need to take for the switch. So, heh, to provide for myself, I am going to go work construction for a while.

I am about to literally accomplish the dream - manual labor and higher education. I don't have to save for ****, and my only expense will be paying for an appartment in central Tel Aviv. So I'll basically work my ass off in construction for 3 days a week and then study and party for the rest.

I love my life!

So, tell me about your unconventional ways of coping with this awesome job market? ( Capitalism )

Once you get your env. science MSc you can apply for a job as one of my wife's minions who cleans up radioactive poop for 50k a year.



If you also have an MBA you can calculate how much extra you would have to earn as a gay prostitute in order to make the opportunity cost of going to graduate school worthwhile.

[Az]

lol Actual pay for Grad School is going to be peanuts. Something in the area of 3kUSD.
It's going to be a brothel of a year srsly. work. study. ****. cocaine.the life....

anyway, I'd love 50k a year here, but over there sounds like ****. 'sides, Cleantech is the new High-tech dontyaknow? I am all about the design of new trash recompacting and recycling systems, B.

opportunity cost

If you're getting your MBA you'd better learn what I mean by this right quick.

Seriously, the only env. science MScs I know work for my wife, and they do **** work (literally).

[Az]

I know what it is, It's just that I don't really calculate sucking gay dicks. My opportunity costs are going to be something in the area of 15k Amerikkkan candywrappers for the entire degree ( part time construction instead of fulltime enviromental monitoring job, tuition instead of job ) ( amazingly enough - less for the period when I actually have to pay my tuition)

[KrazyHorse]

You would only get paid 15k more for working full time?

Seriously?

[Jon Miller]

Is an MBA worth it without the experience to get a management job?

JM

[Az]

Asssssssssuming I don't get a raise in the next 3 years, yes.

Construction can really pay, brosefus.

JM: Not without experience. I've got experience. 3 years in the military.

[VetLegion]

I haven't been around the forum in a while, but I think I remember you being a chemical engineer? You also got an MBA? And now you want to work in construction so you could get another degree?

Why not work at what you like to do right away?

Debt, debt, and more debt, but with a twist: having spent the last three years working first in debt collection and later for a federal agency that regulates debt collectors, debt settlement scams, and credit repair scams, so I've had the privilege to learn every last behind-the-scenes secret there is to evading responsibilities to creditors and deleting accurate credit report entries. I love my life.

[Barnabas]

Wouldn't stufying enviromental sciences let you find a job as a metheorologist for the state?

[Darius871]

metheorologist

I'm guessing chemistry would be a better fit.

[Wezil]

Or business.

[loinburger]

I (almost) make ends meet by using food stamps and having three obnoxious roommates. At present my dream job is one that provides health insurance so that I can stop paying 60% of my salary towards COBRA.

So: Sloww, Az, oh, fill the rest in for yourselves.
