welp..
When I was in highschool I was in some computer animation classes (I wasnt good, though I was top in the class
) and I was in info tech classes.
I enjoyed the animation, the infotech classes were boring though it was fucked cause they taught the use of claris works for info tech, when i got to info tech 12 and they were teaching the same shit i dropped the class.
I also was taking cafeteria and cooks training classes. We had a cool chef for an instructor. I enjoyed it and had 4 blocks in there in my last year. I got a CASA (culinary arts specialists association scholarshop) but its only for 350 dollars so no big deal...
While I was at school I was working some warehouse job, i started out at 7.50 per hour.. and I worked there for a year after I graduated, by then I was driving the trucks and making 12 an hour with like 220 hours a month, I was unhappy because the boss was an asshole who made fun of me for whatever he could (were in canada, and he takes no break from insulting canada and all canadians) anyways, the job itself i didnt really mind, i could be there from 830am to 930pm with only one unpaid lunch break, and go home happy (as long as I could avoid the asshole boss), anyways i was going to a concert and i told him a week in advance that i needed to leave at 5 on monday, monday came, we had an argument when i tried to go home, later as i was leaving for the concert (say 30 mins) from my house he called and talked to my mom (im 19 living at home), he was swearing at her and yadda yadda and was going to fire me, anyways it ended up i was supposed to go in and talk to him the next morning (i was supposed to have been working the next day anyways), so i went in, gave him my company jacket back and told him i was done.
that job was an excellent source of money... I have a 2004 cavalier, and it would probably be paid off now if i hadnt quit, right now im guessing i owe around 4000 though.
now when i was in school and got the scholarship i was still going over in my head wether to go to school for game development, or 3danimation, or for cooking school to be a chef.. anyways i applied for cooking school, got accepted, decided to put it off for a year so that i could get the car..
well then i appplied again and i am scheduled to start in oct.
heres the thing, after i quit my last job i got a job 2 days later in a restaurnt, right now im a dish pig, but still, i make hardly any money, and presumeably this is how its going to be working in a restaurant..
now my parents are trying to tell me to get into computer stuff and not cooking stuff because i wont make any money
the reasons i am not doing computer stuff is lack of skills that i feel i need and lack of money for computer schools
so basicly now i am accepted for the second time to this cooking school and my parents are suggesting im not to go, and the fact that my new job isnt cutting it with the bills isnt helping me think things over
i would reallly like to get into game development but id need skills and one school requires good hand drawing skills to get in and the other requires a butt load of money and they will take anyone,
i am so confused
worried about money
money for school
money for transportation
money after school
what to do for school, i dont know how many times i can apply and then cancel ... eek
any thoughts on my ramble from people who have more life xp then me
