Nobody ever started shooting up heroin or using crack ( oops, wasn't around yet ) . We caught a buzz, chilled for awhile, playedvideo games etc.
Crack wasn't around but video games were? When was this?
BTW, that's a pretty sweet GN you got there.
The video games were the original PONG and the Atari 2600 vintage games.
OH YEAH!! I remember those.
Thanks for the props on the car as well!

Take some computer certification classes like Microsoft Certified Professional or A+ or networking stuff.
THats definatly a good idea, but the certification alone will not get you the job. I'm A+ Certified but I usually don't even get called when I apply for a Tech position. The thing is that you have to have the cert + experiance. Experiance is hard to get b/c no1 will hire you as a tech right away.I currently work at a cashier at CompUSA and I'm trying to work my way up to tech. However, I'm only going to work at CompUSA while I'm in college b/c my real career goal is to be an Engineer.

yea i know i need to "grow up" but i mean...its too hard to have a full time job wearing a suit and tie, when im only 18 and have no experience whatsoever...i go to college full time taking 14 unints a semester...im talking about just getting a job thats a little over minimum lets say $8 an hour....just because i have long hair doesnt make me a stereotypical stoner either....because i have metal head friends that have never smoked before....Its like saying all people with shaved heads are racist...I just like long hair, im into music and i plan on majoring in music...i mean no offense "themoogly" but your what 24? i still have 6 years to become as successful as you so im not too worried

True^^^my uncle started at UPS when he was in college and was getting paid so well he dropped out. Not what i would have done, but he is making about 80k a year after working there for 25 years.

Let me give out a little secret. You have a foreign name. Here's what I found when applying for jobs: when I listed my real name I woud get no calls at all, as soon as I changed to Eugene...guess what? Calls non stop.


And to the original poster...you do know painters get paid a lot? I used to do that for a while too. Really easy to learn to do it right, not extremely challenging and no drug screens...
