DAFT PUNK @ Lolla?!?!
whered you find this info?

SY played both festivals last year, so no shot there

there is an outside chance that ATP on the east coast may happen, they were trying for later this year, but i don't know

mang those look like lineups from the early 90's.

it's 2007 already and nothing has changed? i am... mistyfied (not sure of the spelling here).

and wow atp in the east coast? i'd travel!

Why is it that the good festivals are on the eascoast? I need to move soon.

they aren't necessarily. i was so looking forward to arthurfest II. fuck. fucking fuck.

but yes, move! it's good for you.

I want to but I need to get my degree, before I can move. I don't want to be living on the streets, or some shitty place.

smart choice. of course you could get your degree elsewhere.

wait, what "degree" are we talking about here? phD? high school diploma?

Photography, but why move now, let me finish my general ed classes. If I have a good GPA by then. I'll check New York. Is Boston any good?

Because if you haven't noticed, you need an A.A. for some menial job. Now you Need a Bachelor degree for something better. I just need a major, so I could at least succeed in some job where they need a degree to advance higher.

total rubbish.

doesnt guarantee but improves your chances if you pick your classes right and develop marketable skills.

fact is, without a college education, you're more likely to end up in a menial job than not. im saying likely. there are of course exceptions. bill gates and woody allen are college dropouts. but without the monster talent, good luck to you...

ps-- funny, we both said "menial job" ha ha. menial.

At least she will be a manager.

Well, I've come from a poor class so I see education as my way out.

well, sure, if you work instead of college you'll start out making more. what about afterwards?

i guess what i mean is-- would you mind sharing with us info on your line of work and career prospects?

just to understand your perspective...

Well, I think with a degree you will be able to do whatever you want afterwards.

I am doing what I want to do. The only options open to me are Join the army, work somewhere shitty with no chances of improving my life, or college. And I am choosing college.

I wish I would have caught the lolla presale this morning. The lineup looks pretty lame except for pearl jam and the roots though. I'm hoping the BEasti Boys, Wilco and Modest Mouse wind up playing

ive been working in hotels for going on 8 years...since 10th grade. course i started out as a porter and have worked my way up a bit since then.

within a year im moving to florida. im pretty convinced with my resume ill be able to find a pretty decent job in a rsort sorta environment...or maybe a crusie ship. im not sure yet.

but if i end up flippin burgers...oh well man.

were all gonna die, and none of us will be able to take anything material with us afterwards.

if there is an afterlife, and we can remember out lives here on earth...least ill remember that 1....it sucked...but two...least i did whatever the fuck i wanted.

sorry i didnt answer sooner, got busy.

see if you're makinf ALMOST 20k by yr own declaration, i have to believe your college educated friends are a bunch of wankers because most entry level jobs for people with BAs start into the 20s and up. they are obviously not using their degree to work. which happens.

so you're an auditor-- is that like an accounting job?

i really dont know. front desk?

anyway, you're 23 now, but you know well that the moment you decide to procreate a couple of kids you're going to need more money, and auctioning off your old stooges records is not going to cut it. sure, if you're talented or whatever you can be a successful business person; but if you work for corporate america and want to get into a managerial position, you're going to have to get yourself an education.

my prediction for you is that you're going to realize this sooner or later, and you'll end up enrolling in some kind of online degree program designed for working adults. i suggest you go for it-- it will pay off nicely.

another possibility is that they could get you into some kind of corporate training.

of course if you're happy where you are ny all means enjoy, but as the years pass you might find that you're 30 and there is a 20 year old who wants your job and you got nowhere to go. so i think it's always good to prepare for change and having some sort of degree gives you the flexibility for that.
