Good going! Sometimes it's discouraging to work (making a living), go to school, and make a personal live. I fell out of it 4 times (school) and realized my mistake this very last time; each time there was a work crunch, I gave up several class sessions (might be just a week or two) and each time managed to fall behind enough that I failed. Finally made school my priority over work - School is what will make me, work just does it for someone else.


I won't be able to keep the job I have now because I'm going to school about four hours from where I live. I'm applying for grants, but I'll have to start looking for another job. Hopefully I can find one on campus. I hate money. Actually, I hate the lack of money. Anyway, school will be my first priority and I'm not even going to think about having a personal life until after I graduate, or at least until I get acclimated with everything. Thank you for the good advice, though.

well forty-something, let's see it's 2004 so I must be -er- 46. Those worried about what to do after college should just go for something they enjoy, life's too short. I used to be an engineer and my hand-crafted creations graced the heavens and the depths of the oceans (okay I used to build bits of subsea telecoms kit and broadcast satellites). Now I spend all day looking at spreadsheets, which is still fun in a weird way.

I could also produce a map of the world with shiny blobs showing all the firefly fans, if they sent me their zip/ post codes, using a program called Mapinfo, I've got most country codes except for Thailand and Ireland. But putting it on the web is harder, as you'd just get a huge picture, not something zoomable. It comes out in .jpg or .wmf format I think. Maybe others.

Last night my daughter (age 11) got me with "and here's a funny thing - No" when we asked her to go to bed. We tried very hard not to laugh but failed.

Uh, I am 23, feel older, tired. This is my last semester for a BA (History and Political Science double major) at the Univ. of Houston. Lord help me, I have not a clue what I will be doing past summer. Well, maybe a some idea. I'm sure it will involve me having what I like to call the "Rent and Beer Money Plus" standard of living. It is basicly what it sounds like: the beer is decent, I have enough to eat well--although basicly hand to mouth--and I might have health insurance, might not.

I'm another old timer I guess. 40. My bio is already listed at my movie website, so anyone can check it, and learn about me and the movie I produced here:

The Site:

My Bio (second from the top):

I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.

Hello there,

New to posting but not to reading so I guess I'll fess up on this question.

I'm 31, have degrees in History and International Relations so of course that means I wound up working on a ranch.

Yeah well I like smacking 'em. It does make for some "Whubba wha?" conversations when I go back home to visit and run into people I knew in college and high school and they ask what I'm doing these days. Cowboy isn't something that many people back east think of when they look through the classifieds.

Pain is scary...
