Bad Beat Xmas Present

@ Umass-Amherst (I don't get enough shifts of the higher-paying building supervisor position at my work which is $9 an hour and a lot less boring then swiping cards at the Fitness Center). I do get .25 raise every semester. I refuse to work at any Fast food or corporate places like Best Buy or Dick's, yuck. And I have no interest in a cheap beater that will cost me hundreds more in repairs in the following years (I do a lot of stop-n-go driving on-campus, maybe 1k highway driving miles a year), so I want something reliable that doesn't always need something fixed. Worse comes to worse I'd settle with a crappy new Hyundai since it has a decent warranty on it.

If this is your attitude then not having a car is obviously not a very big deal to you. If it is, you need to seriously change how you look at this situation.

Having a functional car to get me from pt A to pt B without having a ton of repairs is important to me. But not so much as to utterly miserable at a job that will get me nowhere in the service industry making even less than $7 an hour. I worked at Six Flags before and know how it is to get screwed by these corporations, and all my friends that have done fast food or Best Buy hated their jobs with a passion.

You obviously hate the idea of working at a big corporation a bit more than you hate the idea of going without a reliable ride. Until it flips the other way you are very screwed.

I bet you'll grow up someday because if your attitude doesn't change you are on a crash course to be a total and complete loser.

How do you still have two stars? You should've lost one or both for your work in the MySpace thread.

Yeah, definitely, I always PM astroglide and ask him to take a couple of stars away whenever I get head.

$7/hr + $0.25/semester raise. That's weak bro. What are you good at?


stick with the job you have now and 36yrs down the road, you'll be making a decent hourly.
