Strikeforce Diaz vs Daley Betting Results

[MMA_scientist]

Well I do not have a family but I can accidentally impregnate someone. The chances are pretty good, I like to drink and I have overactive penis disorder.

How old are you again?

[edman5555]

I am 28

[edman5555]

I have a decent job but I hate being there. I have no degree so I can't really go anywhere and get a job. I kind of look at it that way. If I am a nurse I can travel/work and be with all girls for a few years of school.

I get it... I just... I really don't understand it to be honest.

Not the whole Murse thing, I am all on board with doing whatever you want to do or whatever is easy for you... don't care. I just don't get the way our society values "job security" and I just don't buy into the whole ants marching thing. I never have. It is one thing if that is your passion... if you want to teach kids and that is where your heart is- awesome. Same thing with nursing, if you are into it and that is genuinely what you want to do, I am all for it. I just don't understand why people in the 20's with no real responsibilities are so consumed with security... it is not like you are going to starve to death. You see college kids signing up to be accountants and shit because they know there are jobs out there... I know for a fact that no one actually wants to be an accountant... it just makes me sad to see 21 year old kids already trading in their lives for a steady paycheck.

personally, I hate security. I get bored so easily and I don't like the idea of knowing what the future holds. I have 2 kids and a wife and a mortgage... I still don't give a shit. They will be fine. Worst case scenario we go into debt and blow all of our money... but I am totally ok with that. Like I said, we aren't going to starve to death.

Yeah but on the other end of that, what are you going to do to survive? Your used to surviving so that freedom sounds nice. It kinda sounds like thats what your thinking about. The grass is always greener on the other side. If you weren't a lawyer you would have much more freedom but if you had to work at McDonalds you would probably wish you were a lawyer.

BTW you inspired me to put some pink floyd on.

I am not talking about trading it in for an even shittier job. I am talking about self employment or freelance or whatever it is that you ACTUALLY want to do. Not what you think sounds safe. Not you specifically, again the general "you." If I wasn't a lawyer (I am self employed btw) I would just think about how I wanted to spend my time and do it... I would do what I had to do to make it work. I would live cheaply and save so I could implement my new plan for world domination. For me, I just cannot function without a light at the end of the tunnel (a short tunnel, not a work for 45 years and then retire with a cake and watch and live on nothing tunnel).

I just don't get what is so important about having this alledgedly secure job. I would rather take my shots and fail brilliantly (multiple times if necessary) than just go with the program and have the regret of having not really tried very hard.

It is probably just a massive character flaw I have. Who knows... obviously, no one is with me on this (what's new). Anyway, you fuckers can call me in 20 years and tell me I was right, I won't be mad.

I decided to go with the "Wish you were here" reference... I almost went with:



I think we can agree I made the right choice.

[edman5555]

I hear what your saying in a lot of ways. For me nursing school is kind of a way of prolonging actual responsibility but gauruntee some sort of stability down the road. In my mind I will be doing some schoolwork and then banging nursing students while going out to the bar with intermitten vacations. Probably somewhat different from reality. Then again I live at home so I can save a lot of money before moving out so I might be able to live a pretty great life while in school. Regardless I don't like my job even though its not that bad, I have just had some serious issues with people I work with. If I stay there I am basically stuck in one spot forever, which is what scares me. As a nurse I can go anywhere and make enough money to get some freedom when I want it.

[Thewisemann]

I love to stick it to the man, life is much better this way.

[Thewisemann]

I am with you scientist.

This reminds me of my weed smoking days, which were nice.

[SPX]

I have a friend who was a chemistry and mechanical engineering major at Purdue (a top engineering program). She got out, worked 2 years and quit and went back for a teaching degree (which she will probably hate also)... like you, she just didn't see the value in what she was doing... it just seemed like a job doing some shit to her... she, being a chick, wanted to do something with her life other than plug this number into that number and see if the thinhy goes zoom.

So I can get that. I went to law school basically on a whim. I didn't know what I wanted to do... I still don't. I sure as hell don't have any passion for law stuff. I like the business side of it, I like building and expanding and global domination... but I really don't give 2 shits about law stuff.

I can understand that. I'm not really sure that being a full-time journalist is really what I want to do. It probably depends on exactly what I'm doing in the field. Most of what I've done so far involves phone interviews and online research, and what I really want to do is go out on location and do some real reporting.

But journalism really isn't THE thing that I went back to school for. It's actually filmmaking. The problem is that none of the film classes at the community college transfer to the U, so I'm focusing on getting an associates degree in journalism (or Communication to be specific) and then will take film classes when I get to the university.

With that said, I'm not even really sure I want to make films. I've always loved film, and I've always been cognizant of the impact a well-made documentary can have on people's psyche, but I've watched a few films get made and I have no idea if it's something I'd actually really like to do or not.

Life is so hard.

I have no problem with taking classes in general. I used to teach college courses myself and I like to think I had some impact on some student somewhere. But in reality, I know I tought them nothing- I graded them for the abilities they already had.

You're probably being too cynical. I think a lot of skills/knowledge you pick up in class you kind of pick it up subconsciously. How many times have you gone through a class and felt like you didn't really learn anything, but when tested, you realized you actually learned a lot?

[SPX]

Dont ever give a shit what a bunch of douchebags say ,if you want to go to school for nursing go .

Seconded. Fuck 'em.

With that said, if you do go to nursing school let us know . . . so we can make fun of you.
