What do you do?

DO NOT go into the army.Though I admit being a medic is kinda fun, but it does come with certain hidden catches : you're forced to hurt others(oh, wait, as that's a problem for people on this forum), you're gonna get stabbed with needles yourself, and then there's that whole "sight of blood" which some people find scary, or whatever.

But forget the army mate, it's not a place you'd like... the pay's lousy and if you don't show up for work you go to jail.

Plus, that kind of job would mean a lot of free time and unspent strenght for other activities, like planning terrorist attacks or beta-testing Stalker. Edit: answering to Spazmo I was.

Yeah, I wouldn't join the army, despite the fact I don't know much about it. Too many horror stories about it, and there's always the strong chance you're going to put your life in significant danger at some point.

Having said that, I still have very little idea what I want to do as a career.

It's not like I'd feel like sacrificing my life for Canada

If all else fails, make ecstasy in your basement. How hard could it be? Kids will buy anything.

Why bother making E, which acually involves some thinking and knowledge, when you can just mesh up pseudoephedrine or ephedrine into bigger pills and sell that to teenagers?

Oh, okay. I was just speculating. Thanks for the advice, the guardian!

If you join the army I'll join too and we could have a war lol. That would be fun.

my army could beat up your army!

i am atm in basic basic training where basically i run round in circles until i fall down and try to beat my high-score on my powerball. i also drink milk.

Aim higher.

Megatron · Post by **Megatron** » Fri Dec 31, 2004 8:22 pm

i cant really, i dropped out of college lol

i dont really want to aim that high. I just want to aim reasonably happily and like hit my target or whatever the fuck we're talking about. I don't really know what I want to do so I'll just do that until I have a mid-life crisis.

Working for the military for the rest of the job would kill me - I'm physically a lazy bastard and not exactly the most enthusiastic person to learn and teach others how to kill people. I think it's like what they say about big apple: it's fun to visit, but a hell to live in, or something like that. I'm glad I don't have to spend more time in the Army than 6-12 months.

Easy to see how confusion could play a part.

Here's a hint about the army : you got the combat soldiers, and you got the people in the forces at home. Being in the military doesn't necessarly mean you're going to do (major) physical work, teach others how to kill(but hey, everyone's gotta learn how to defend themselves), or, if you actually join up with some education in your background, do anything that remotely resembles being a soldier.

Kashluk · Post by **Kashluk** » Sat Jan 01, 2005 9:06 am

Well... yeah, that's true. But the beginning of those 6-12 months everyone's a recruit. And recruit camp's got it's physical challenges. And you gotta ski, run and do other kind of shit after that as well. They call it "the nation's largest keep-fit school" or something like that.

With a degree I might have a chance to get to the air defence, radar, hi-tech or some other department that doesn't really require physical performances

But I don't know if I want to do that? I'd really like to get in the leadership training, to be honest, to boss others around and sit on my fat ass in some office playing Solitaire.

perhaps you should be a manager in some office instead then :bogus: :journey:
