Everything was rainbows and earthquakes until this semester, with Earth Systems 2 and Earth Materials 2. Went from 0-100 REAL QUICK. Thin samples are extremely my poo poo.

So are there actually geology jobs where I can go camping every once in a while, look at some rocks, and drink some beer?

Mike-o posted:So are there actually geology jobs where I can go camping every once in a while, look at some rocks, and drink some beer? poo poo, I hope so I applied for some internships for this summer with National Parks. Seems fairly competitive, I'm up against 60 or so applicants for each position. Don't know what the hell I'm going to do if I can't find some science to do this summer. I'm really tempted to just gently caress off back to the spanish speaking world for the summer, but I know I'd probably be better off hunting down some research I can do unpaid at that point. My resume sucks. edit: I know now that I need to get my poo poo together for internships around the new year, though. I missed deadlines for so much cool poo poo, and I didn't even think until this week of looking into internships with the various giant evil resource companies. Lol I am old and wise but I am still a know-nothing freshman student. US Berder Patrol fucked around with this message at 18:42 on Mar 2, 2016 |

OMFG PTSD LOL PBUH posted:"Kiss my rear end" in response to a froathingly apoplectic instructor who was losing it because nobody (other than me) had done any of the assigned work. Dude I'd do the same poo poo. I know I've cursed at a teacher or two since getting out for being disrespectful assholes, and plenty of students on campus for being assholes too. It's more of a problem in the lower level and/or remedial classes than the others.

DownByTheWooter posted:poo poo, I hope so State level natural resource jobs exist. National parks are going to be looking more at Forestry nerds than rock hounds, but not a lost cause by any means. Blasting firms, civil engineering firms, natgas and oil jobs are probably slimmed down but that doesn't mean they're not hiring. Hell, I remember reading about jobs a few years back mapping and scouting land in Canada in the summers where they drop you in the woods and pick you up a day or two later in a helicopter. Just walk and make maps, carry a gently caress-all huge rifle to keep wildlife at bay, two or three man teams. Or just scout a placer claim on BLM land, and go completely monkeyshit insane panning gold from a streambed. That's always an option. Probably a really dumb one though.

3 years of contracting, yeah. My first attempt at college didn't take since even though I had good grades, I didn't know what the hell I wanted to major in. Went contracting rather than spin my wheels and burn my GI bill.

I have heard there should be good opportunity in the next decade or whatever to get government jobs as just about any kind of hard scientist, including geologists. The pay is pretty bad compared to going to work for oil, but those companies want graduate degrees. Then again, I get veteran welfare and the field work in the civil servant jobs can be really really cool, so who cares about big bucks

It's giving a gently caress in a different kind of way. By giving no fucks, I mean expending no mental/emotional energy towards it.

What's the pay look like for gov jobs? I'm of the strong mind that after a certain point, more money won't make me any happier. If I can make $70k/year working for the government, I won't care about making $100k in the private sector.

It's also absolutely soul crushingly tedious and full of red tape, which eventually will turn your personality into a bright shade of gray.

GS7 is like 54, 9 is like 65. 11 is what, high 80s and 13 is 105ish? Most jobs are bracketed 7-9, 9-11 and 11-13.

Just got to find the right person to take your anger out on, like a VA punching bag or a Republican senator. You can still be a nutjob, just focus the crazy on something that you don't rely on giving you a passing grade. Just nod, smile, and put loving happy-happy-joy-joy music poo poo on in your head. Bonus points if you start singing a Britney Spears song in class only to argue with yourself that Christina was a way better trash diva back in their hayday.

One of the girls on my team was telling us that her sister is on a study abroad down in South America, and keeps petting stray dogs, and not washing her hands afterwards, and stuff like that. So she's sick all the time and now needs to be debugged because she's got a bunch of fleas living on her.

My personal hygiene has never been bad enough that I picked up fleas even when I worked in an animal shelter. Getting sick is what people from first world countries do in South America, though, so I can't really begrudge her that.

Ugh I need to get the ball rolling on school. I was originally going to try to go this current semester but it didn't work out. I did the application and was accepted (of course I was its a community college) but didn't follow up on anything after that. Now I'm trying to get in on fall semester. I need to schedule the placement test and get my transcripts turned in for evaluation. I'm used to just barging into places and being really nice to get what I want so I hope that works in this case. I really don't care for phone calls and all that poo poo. Squeaky wheel gets the grease and all. Please encourage me to leave my house and interact with other humans so that I get this done, thanks guys. Also if you have any "disabled veteran" hot tips please let me know

Wear your old ACU/DCU/BDU cutoffs. Every day, rain, snow or shine. An old uniform top with cutoff sleeves is also a choice selection. You can finally put stuff in your pockets, may as well jam a pack of black and milds in there. And a dip can in your pocket. You're going to community college, after all, be yourself.

I always barge in and am real polite and I get poo poo done, so that will work out. As far as disabled veteran hot tips, look into vocrehab. I'm on it and it rocks. If you struggle with being around strangers/inside buildings, etc. you might want to schedule yourself little breaks during your classes to go wash your face or drink some water BEFORE you get too worked up. There's an adjustment period for sure, but never feel ashamed for needing to take a few weeks/months to do so

I'd make too much more money with the BAH that the 9/11 offers instead of the vocrehab. Hoping to get an answer back from my college soon. I sent them my unofficial transcripts and they said they'd let me know what they will accept. I've never heard of a college being so up tight about online universities before. I'm not going to Pheonix for gently caress's sake. Also, not sure how I'd handle being yelled at by my professor. I think I'd just laugh and walk out. I plan on smoking weed with the cool kids in the bathrooms before class.

It can be if you don't qualify for post 9/11 BAH. If you don't qualify for the post 9/11 they provide a much more modest housing stipend. Google for the charts, but very few, if any, people here will meet the criteria to even care.

Voc rehab provides 48 months instead of 36. So yes, plus 12 bonus months. It really is better. Literally the only out of pocket expense under voc rehab is your school's forced meal plans. Everything goes on a voucher (bookstore poo poo) or you can take in receipts IF you can associate it with your degree. Example: I had a music appreciation class for gen ed credits, and the instructor required us to go to a classical music concert, so a symphony. VA paid me back for the ticket. Oh, and they'll flat out give you a new laptop, printer, a tablet if you can justify it. Forget about post-9/11 if you qualify for VR&E.
