Sounds like the recruiters were crawling all over a high-income school. How could this be? |
Ouch, swing and a miss. I went to three different high schools. The first was a large high school in a very small town. That was low income, that was crawling with recruiters. As a matter of fact, almost a majority of the kids from my freshman gym class are now in the military. My Chem partner from Sophmore year is now a Staff Seargent (he's good people). When I was attending that HS, I also took Jazz Band at the other high school in town, sine the first schoool didn't have one. Halfway through my junior year, I moved to San Jose. The school I went to in San Jose was full of rich kids. That was when I took my first retail job and was frustrated (maybe a bit jelous, though now I realize it built character and taught me how to work) that the other kids had brand new cars and didn't work at all.
I'd appreciate it if you didn't start building a profile on me, though, as I am purpously vague about certian details of my life so that no one is able to actually figure out who I am. If I wanted people to know who I am, I'd be more specific. I don't, becuase I am pretty opinionated and I'd like to keep TFP and my life seperate.

Perhaps they didn't read what they were voting for. That would get them off the hook according to what filtherton said in another thread.

Thanks to DC_Dux for handling this one.

I'm not lying and I'm not confused or exaggerating. I'm repeating exactly what I was told. If you don't believe me, then call the number I provided and argue with the recruiter. I don't know why you're trying to callBS on me when I provided a phone number of the source of my information. Isn't that the same as providing a link to an article or citing from a book? Isn't that good enough?

No, one does not need a GED to attend a JC.
