Horses can't be BWM, because they aren't a lifestyle choice. They are something you're born into.

The only thing more insufferable than poor people with horses is rich people with horses.

Is the UK really lovely for developers? I feel like with 7 months under your belt, you ought to be able to find a place that would take a chance on you if you just said "Well, I had an internship but it ended up having to be restarted, so now I'm looking for something permanent." Or does everyone just do internships until you hit a year or something?

Inexperienced software developers litter the ground like dead leaves in the fall these days. Though if he had any aptitude at all he could do better than he is. Right now he's in what sounds like a government-subsidized attempt to keep offshoring down, meaning he's doing work someone probably pays someone else even less to do if they are in India. And the guy in India would probably do it a lot better. Not much of a career path there.

Just finished sitting through a 90 minute sales pitch for World Financial Group which ended by trying to recruit me into the business, with the requisite of bringing one other new person to the next meeting. I went there under the guise of being a reference that they needed to interview in person. And it wasn't the person using me as a reference that sold it like that, it was his """boss.""" I find that very annoying and obtrusive.

He's 19, so he isn't doing an internship - he's doing an apprenticeship, which is an alternative to a degree, "learning on the job." That's why he's being paid less than UK minimum wage. He's not going to be able to do much entrepreneurship with a few months of on-the-job experience. If he can code at all, he should just do a degree - coders with degrees are in demand right now, and it's not like carpentry or something where you learn better by doing than sitting in a lab. Apprenticeships are mostly a way for the UK government to make unemployment stats look better. It's better than sitting in your room moping, though, which looks like his plan B (it's a rare guy with social anxiety that can sell a few months of code experience enough to become a contractor.)

BarbarianElephant posted:it's not like carpentry or something where you learn better by doing than sitting in a lab. As a senior developer with like 7 years experience at this point, it absolutely is something where you learn better by doing than sitting in a lab. I mean there's some fundamentals that I think a course teaches that experience doesn't (like algorithmic complexity) so I think everyone should have some kind of training but we spend like 6 months just bringing fresh grads up to speed on all the experience and domain knowledge and stuff they didn't get in college, stuff that you could easily get a leg-up on if you have an internship or hell even just work on some github projects.

Thanks for the explanation (I'm in the US) though I disagree with this point: quote:it's not like carpentry or something where you learn better by doing than sitting in a lab. I've been in development for decades now and it absolutely is like that. There is certainly a place for formal schooling, don't mistake me, but all good programmers learn the most by doing, and the more practical the problem solving is, the better. If we're talking application development as a career; R&D and such are different.

Heh, if lab work was as good as real work, there wouldn't be so many IT duds with a bucket of certifications. Coding might not be as bad, but on-the-job training teaches you how to deal with teams and if there's one thing coders need it's more people skills.

Why didn't he enforce some discipline on his daughter? If he was going to agree to funding her education, at least he should have imposed some reasonable conditions instead of allowing such a massive loan for a bullshit major. I think ***BOTH*** the dad and daughter are morally to blame. Don't do stupid poo poo and don't agree to stupid poo poo.

It's weird that the divorce agreement is just considered null and void. She needed to know that before cosigning loans with him. Ideally he would have had to pay the school with or without her signature.

Photex posted:https://www.reddit.com/r/relationships/comments/6gt1sw/father_59_stopped_paying_my_29f_student_loans/ On the one hand it seems like he was consistently letting interest build up and it sucks that he apparently has no accountability for a loan he co-signed for. On the other, he has loving cancer and he did say he wasn't going to do it forever. Life sucks, nut up and figure it out.

"Sure i'll pay for half" then half ended up being upwards of 60-70k.

LLCoolJD posted:"my dad's loans" Just because it's not legally unenforceable doesn't mean it's not extremely lovely to say "Hey, I'm paying most of your loans," then "I'm paying half of your loans," then "I'm going to pay the absolute minimum I can on your loans and also pay late so your credit gets hosed," to "I'm done paying your loans." The cancer changes things, but it's not like he knew he was going to get cancer.
