I used to do that but sadly I'm poor lol But if I ever start making more money you can bet your ass I'll be right back to supporting my favorite manga authors.

Alright, I just want to hear some opinions because I'm having a lot of trouble deciding what to do. Currently I work as a pharmacy technician for Walgreens making 10 bucks an hour. Pretty shitty, I know. I have a wife and 4 month old son and because I don't make enough we live with my in laws. In order to try and one day get out of this situation I have begun going to college in order to get a degree in Electrical Engineering Technology. I just started the classes a week ago and so far I'm enjoying them. Although the drive out to the school is 45 minutes there and back. I drive this 3 times a week and as you can imagine it eats up a lot of my gas on top of the other bills I have to afford on my measly wages. In 2 to 3 years I'll be done and have an associates degree which could be used to get a job as an electronic engineering technician making anywhere from 30,000 to 50,000 a year, starting out. Then I could continue on and get a bachelors degree which could up my salary to anywhere from 60,000 to 80,000 and beyond as I continue my career. However, this is obviously all a "could be" scenario. Just because I get my degree doesn't mean I could find a job and then I could be drowning in student loans because I clearly don't have the funds to pay for myself to go to college. But a plus side in all of this is that if I do get a job in 2 to 3 years as an engineering technician, some firms pay for their employees to continue their education and I would have far less to pay back considering I'm starting out my college time in a community college as opposed to starting out at a 4 year university. So if I landed one of these jobs I could be sitting very nicely anywhere from 3 to 5 years. But this is all a big maybe of course. Now, recently I asked my dad about his job at the railroad. He's a conductor and he can get called out at any hour of the day whether it be 3 in the afternoon or 3 in the morning and be expected to be there in 2 hours ready to go. He makes over 4000 a month, 4 times what I make in a month, and he's only been working there for about 1 to 2 years. Eventually he can become a train engineer and make nearly 100,000 a year and have a stable schedule. I asked him what the requirements to work there were and he said a high school diploma. He told me a story about a girl he knew who made 15 bucks an hour as a janitor for the railroad and after a year was eligible for many other inside jobs that the public wouldn't know about and went from making 15 bucks an hour as a janitor to making 22 to 23 an hour doing something completely different. He said he'd be able to help me try and get in, considering he works there. I wouldn't necessarily be a conductor like him and my schedule may or may not be stable. The benefits of the job are great, as well. You pay 200 bucks a month for health insurance that covers medical, prescription, dental, etc. and it covers your whole family, whether you're single or have 20 kids. I currently pay 270 bucks a month for health insurance and it only covers my wife and myself. You get a retirement pension after 30 years of service as long as you're at least 60 years old, which depends on the best 5 years of your career. My grandfather on my dad's side makes 3200 a month off of his retirement pension. PLUS, your spouse gets 50 percent of your pension ON TOP of what you get. So my grandmother gets another 1600 bringing their total monthly pension to $4800. On top of that they do offer a 401k plan. The benefits and the overall career opportunity is something that could really help my family... I see my grandparents on both sides and friends of my parents who have worked on the railroad and even my father. They all live very comfortable lives. At least financially anyway. What I want to know is, do you all think I should try to get into the railroad now or wait til I have my college degree? Whether that be an associates or a bachelors? I mean at the end of it all I could have a lot of student loans to pay back and who's to say I'll even get into the railroad for that job? Then the degree would be kind of a waste. On the other hand, I'd be able to say I have a college degree and if I happen to get laid off in the railroad(which they have been known to have big lay offs in the past) I may have an easier time getting into a new career. As of right now the railroad is prospering in the area. But that's not to say they will continue to do so. In 3 years when I get my degree they could be doing a lot worse and then what if I can't find a job there or anywhere else? I'm really having trouble deciding what to do... I have a family to think about and my personal happiness to think about. I need to take advantage of the opportunities that I'm given before it's too late, but what if I have too many possible opportunities and I choose the wrong one? I know I should be deciding this for myself and in the end I'll have to. But I'd really like to hear some other thoughts that may make this easier to figure out. Thank you for your time.

Pre-order bonuses are something extra that you get free with your purchase of the game. I tend to see complaining as seeming entitled. You're not entitled to anything other than the game they put on the shelf.

3...2... WAN

Kids suck

Christmas isn't JUST religious. It has a religious side of it. I choose not to celebrate that side of it. I celebrate the family and friends side of it.

First day of classes went alright. AutoCAD is pretty sweet.

I would probably read it. I never hear anyone complain about anyone other than the US. It'll be a nice breath of fresh air.

He was not a subtle villain hahaha

I actually liked that I mean, if our world had people with powers like that and we were actually able to be civil about it, I'm sure we'd make a frickin sport out of it too lol

Book 2 was by far the worst of Korra thus far. At least imo. It gets better by about the halfway point, but damn if it isn't boring up until then.

Are you behind on the series?

A different voice actor was used for KH 1 and 2. But they're apparently changing his voice actor for the HD remix anyway.

That sounds wonderful, then I can move out of my in-laws house and reap the government assistance

I'm at home I have to watch our 4 month old cranky ass son.

It's not JUST my job It's college and watching my kid too. I work 2-10 Saturday, 3-10 Sunday, on Monday I have class from 10 am to 9:35 pm and the drive is an hour away and an hour back, then 1-9 at work on Tuesday, class from 12-12:50 on Wednesday which is my closest thing to a day off but I have school work too, work 1-9 on Thursday, then class on Friday from 10 to 12:50 and work from 2-10. Plus in between I'll have to do school work and whenever my wife has to work and I...

I don't have a single day off next week. Yayyyyyyyyyyyy

I guess if they're happy then whatever. They need to do what they feel is best for the child. That's the important part. My personal opinion is that it's pretty crazy though.

A serious review of Guardians? Does that imply that the last rant you had about it wasn't true?

Hey that sounds like the way she talks nowadays. Which is saddening.

Well I did let my cousin who was at the time, somewhere between 7 and 10 put make up on me and do my hair up in a girly fashion. I'm either a great cousin or a huge push over.

At least Shonen Jump manga anyway
