It's like that at other places, too.

It didn't prepare them at all for UPark.

I think it's just a community college thing. There's a reason it's so cheap and anyone can pretty much go there. You get what you pay for...

I just wish I didn't need that stupid piece of paper to say this guy knows what he's doing. I guess I'm just in the entry level classes (English Composition is what I'm speaking on tonight), and haven't hit my majors classes yet. So it could get better. I tend to dwell on the negatives, I try not to but it's hard at times.

Someone start up an OS University...

Well that's good to know. I think part of community college is weathering the storm and just getting through the BS so you can get to a real university.

If only I had mad skillz, son.

Seriously though, going to school is my plan. I'm just using this forum as a vent for my frustration. I know education is the key to greater things for myself, especially in this day & age. The journey just sucks. My passions are music & sports, just like every one else, but my major is computer information systems because I figured it'd be viable. I just feel like I'm settling, or something.

Yeah, I do need a plan.

If your heart isn't in programming, which is what CIS major is, then change majors asap. Nothing worse then picking a major because you assume it will make a lot of money when you get out of college. Might as well major in something that you know you won't mind doing as a job for the next 30 years or so.

When I went to college, damn near everybody chose CIS, came junior year, 75% of them dropped out of school completely or changed majors. Their heart just wasn't into it.

And if your heart isn't into something, you not really going to want to learn it and you damn sure not want to do it as a job working 12 to 16 hour days sometimes.

Maybe the way it's setup now is that if it's set to record something and it's off, it turns itself on?

Who knows, sounds messed up either way. Good luck with that man, I know I'd be pissed.

That would be fine with me if it actually turned on and recorded something, but nothing has been recorded since the beginning of February.

Re: Off Topic 2012

I hear ya, GMSS. I've seen my fiance' change her major 3 times, and it's set her back 5 years (other things factored in too for it taking her that long). I don't want to do that. But I want to give it (pun intended) the ol' college try.

I just don't know what I want to do if I don't do CIS. I love music to death, but I don't have musical talent as far as playing instrument and not sure what other majors would apply to like, becoming a band manager or someone who finds the up-and-coming talent. I don't even know where to begin to get into a sports-related career... I guess as a business major? Just like everyone else? Then there's the fact I'm living in a tiny state with only a few decent colleges, the majority of which are off limits to me, anyway.

Ugh, the whole thing is making my head spin. I don't want to run in circles. I want to pick something and roll with it.

Pretty sure you can slack off the first two years at any college or uni considering the majority of your courses are gen eds and electives. College isn't about preparing you, its about you learning to prepare yourself. There's no hand holding because its not high school. Obviously if you're going to come to class drunk you're not going to be prepared for anything.

If you like music, be a engineer, major in film & TV. You can be one of the guys working the sound boards or running the cameras. Many ways to get into the music industry other then being a singer or instrument player.

They will always need sound board people, camera operators, etc. Who knows, you might can be the beat maker. They get paid a good amount of money for those beats......
