Anna are you a binge drinker?? :)

Why you bored other anna?

I am a binge drinker. no drink-no drink-no drink-no drink-no drink-no drink-SLAUGHTERED!!!

And I am bored because there is nothing interesting going on here at home :( And I am faced with a predicament. In my heart I know what I need to do... I've just got to go and do it.

I need peeps opinions on stuff...

You have always wanted to do something but never had the balls to do it. So you finaly quit work to study full time. Now you are having issues finding a job that will hire you over some 17 year old that they can pay minimum wage. So studying has turned you more emo. You have been presented with 2 options.

Option A: You are enrolled in a course that will give you 1/4 worth of what you need to do what you want in the future. The rest of the time you are enrolled in 'fluff' classes. Classes that teach you how to pick vital points in an argument, and classes that teach you why apes can't speak english. You are thoroughly enjoying the 1/4 of actual relevant learning you're doing, but are stressed about having no money to pay bills/loans/rent. You have also since discovered that you will need to add another 2 years onto the end of your degree, as the course is designed for school leavers that have prior knowledge of the subject. You know you will get a certificate at the end of it that says you stuck it out for 5 years, but you may just very well go insane in the meantime...

Option B: You have found a private school that offers night time classes that will allow you to work full time. This course has none of the 'fluff' that the university one does, and is specific to what you actually wanted in the first place. You will not end up with a piece of paper that says you went to university, but you will be finished within 2 years.

Which option do you take?

ur gonna hate this answer..BUT ur best to get that little peice of paper, caus in the end, someone with that peice of paper will get paid more than u if u dont have that piece of paper, or get hired before you, as on paper they are qualified, and ur not.

Interesting... that's what I had thought too. It's just kind of driving me insane. I know i'm going to fail classes because I hate them, and I don't want to waste more money than I already have. Also i'm going to be so far into debt by the time i'm done I don't know what i'm going to do.

i know what u mean, im sorta the same with this engineerng course i've been doing for the past 2 years. theres subjects in there that are totally useless, but in the end u need them to get that piece of paper.

ur only young, u've got the rest of ur working life to pay them off.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
