I would help, but it will have to wait for later.

While after 17 years I still haven't gotten around to joining the Procrastinaters Club (yes, it really does exist) I see myself as a very promising candidate.
I'll see what I can do to help you, but I'll have to think about it and then get back to you on it.

To this end, you adopted a policy of direct confrontation with difficult elements without regard to prior documentation. This establishes (and serves as a demonstration of) your own ability to solve problems, rather than your ability to conform to preconceived notions.

I think you misunderstand my intentions here. I'm trying to motivate you by saying that if you fail or even if you pass and coast, you could be a WalMart greeter for a while. A degree alone means nothing if you don't have other assets. For example, where I'm working now (recall I don't even have an associates degree yet), I work with my brother who has a bachleor's degree, 2 other guys with a bachleor's degrees and even a guy that has a master's. Because I have the most seniority out of all of us by a year, I'm actually ahead of them by one years worth of cost of living increases. (Assuming they didn't get hired for more than I did). I am actually paid very well considering the national average for males who don't have an associates. My coworkers, on the otherhand do not meet the national average pay for the schooling they have. This is no fault of their own. None of them are stupid, unbearable to work with or so hideous that they scare people away. The job market sucks now and you gotta settle sometimes if you didn't really go the extra mile at college. Too many kids build up $30,000+ on their credit card debt on top of their education costs thinking they'll be working that $75,000+ job that their parents have right out of the gates and in the real world, that just ain't how it works. This isn't their fault totally.... I think they probably get that impression from their favorite TV shows or movies. This notion that they won't have any problems finding a good job out of college when the fact is, a majority of them are going back home to live with the 'rents and delivering pizza.
A degree would have done nothing for me because, although I believe I'm a genius, I have basically zero drive to excel. I'm the king of coast, and if that's your thing, it's really not a bad place to be as long as you're ahead financially. Seems like you'll do okay as long as you pass and your parents are flipping the bill. Just stay out of debt and you can procrastinate like me to your heart's content. It's so much more enjoyable when you don't have the credit card
holes calling you up all the time and interuppting your -off time. Trust me, I've been there. I just paid off all my bills about a year ago and now I've saved up about 4 months expenses and have a decent amount in my retirement accounts. I can't afford to buy a new $30,000 car (of course I could put myself into debt for 5 years and take out a loan), but I don't care. As long as I'm a minimalist, I can just keep coasting and saving with my modest paying job, and I can laugh at all those kids that have their Psychology degrees and $60,000 in college debt and find themselves living in their parent's basements.Get your ass to work now girl.
