Share something pointless about your life!

[Kasumii]

They sure do know quite a few intricate details of your life, such as where and how you spend your money. They sure do sound like a lover jumping to your side.

Implying you don't know intricate details of friends you've made over the years playing online games or IRL? Interesting....

Scholarships are a form of financial aid, you really earned your degree.

LOL this right here just shows me how truly ignorant you are. You clearly don't know the difference between financial aid and scholarships. It would be more correct to say they are a form of paying for secondary education.

The difference is who is giving you the money. Government or 3rd party sponsor even though governments also offer scholarships. Financial aid still has it's own set of requirements that are separate from scholarship requirements which makes them 2 totally different entities.

Educate yourself before you embarrass your financial aid money and scholarship sponsors any further on your own education.

Who said I didn't have any of that experience?

It's what you don't say that speaks more volume about what you have said.

Here you are trying to blast kemii for not reading when you failed to read the exact post you quoted. Great work. Have fun with your miserable life

You mean the post where he quoted you saying you received an e-mail from a prospective company seeking to hire? I hate to break it to you, you're just 1 in a pool of candidates that probably received a canned e-mail that goes out to a list. The job isn't yours until you make it past the interview process.

At least he's on a path figure yours out yet?

What is your problem man?

Financial aid means monetary assistance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studen..._United_States https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/types/grants-scholarships "Grants and scholarships are often called “gift aid” because they are free money—financial aid that doesn’t have to be repaid."

Financial aid is broken into different categories, grants and scholarships. You are thinking of grants, which is also financial aid. However, scholarships are still monetary assistance, and still fit under the financial aid umbrella.

Why would I detail my experience to some random loser on an internet forums?

I stand corrected. Although you're still ignoring some of the major differences in qualifications in your attempts to insult me over my intelligence. The main reason I didn't qualify for financial aid was because my parents weren't low income and I wasn't first generation. There's nothing impressive about scholarships or financial aid when it comes time for a job interview. Your high school success is irrelevant, they only care about what you did with your time during college and how you utilized your time outside the classroom to further your growth towards your passion.

On the other hand, from a prospective employer's point of a view, it's much more impressive when someone pays for school with their hard and worked for money because it shows that person cares about trying to better themselves. It shows drive and passion for the career they're pursuing and to insult that fact can reflect very negatively in the eyes of a hiring panel.

Why would I detail my experience to some random loser on an internet forums?

Because all you seem to know how to do is talk and flaunt about how you don't have to pay for school and all the money you're going to make when you're done. Meanwhile, you're trying to argue with people who are already in their careers and have been working in the field for several years.

I've served on interview committees before so I know what people look at when deciding who to interview and how to choose after all the interviews are done. The guy with a 4.0 and nothing else will get beat by the guy with a 3.0-3.9 who was involved in career events, internships, personal projects, obtaining an industry respected certification etc. etc.

Also, how you phrase and word things matters a lot when you're being interviewed and can very well cost you the job if you're inaccurate.

I also thought someone as rich and successful wouldn't come on these forums trying to make everyone else miserable, that seems like something a miserable person would do.

Are you trying to show me and the others your true colors then? Interesting line of thought you have there, pal.

Your high school success is literally what gets you financial aid, what?

[Kasumii]

No, your high school success gets you grants and scholarships. Financial aid is based on your parent's income and whether you are the first in your family to obtain a 4 year college degree.

I haven't been the nicest but there is three of you trying to berate me and telling me i'm going to "work in a supermarket". The email wasn't canned, the university has no obligation or anything like that.

I have done research and projects on stuff, and the research is in a field that is highly sought after that a lot of people don't have experience with.

I'll give credit where it is due when it's due, my friends are not always as nice in that regard but that's what separates me from them in terms of our personalities.

The email wasn't canned, the university has no obligation or anything like that.

That's always promising, just remember some of the more genuine things I've pointed out. You're competing with others just like yourself when it comes time to sit in front of the interview panel.

My cousin received his degree in mechanical engineering. His internship experiences is what landed him a job before he was even done with his final project. It goes a long way versus people who only went to class and did nothing more.

I'm probably the most normal,rational human being around here. Didn't I tell you that Pc gamers are cancerous? Also Mercy is edgy,can't deny that.

If by "normal" you mean that everything you say is literally bait, then I completely agree.

I have heard that some (if not all) have good working conditions. Air conditioned office, access to food and clean water. some even have supervisors. Pay may not be great but hey... you "technically" make money by playing videogames XD

Would you be surprised to know that the majority of "chinese gold farmers" are actually employed by their government to do what they do?

[Mercy]

I like how you are trying to make fun of peoples jobs when you make "music" or whatever, I'm 18 credit hours away from getting a degree that will make far more money than you ever will.

You think his job is funny? What I find funny is that to you, money is more important than having a job you enjoy. I know people that would do a lot of crazy **** to get the job he has. Why is that? Because it's a fun and enjoyable job for some people. Personally, I wouldn't give two ****s if I could make a million dollars per year pumping septic tanks, if I could make $30k/year doing a job I actually enjoy. Yeah, I understand you were trying to make a stab at him, but there are a lot of other, better points you could've touched on.

Thought that was the whole point of communism. Work and be provided for/by the state.

The bulk of the Chinese people have to search for and get jobs like most people in the western world.
