someone who works at a college locally, pointed out to me that one of their scholar students was stocking shelves at a dollar store.. with this recession, are you finding that higher learning is wasting time?

i know that it's necessary to become a dr. or a lawyer, but, with the shortage of work, even teachers are working as secretarys.. what do you think?.
@Band on the Run: Thank You for your encouraging words.
@Talesin: I look through the workingincanada.gc.ca website and a section there on wages and outlooks on different jobs. The resources you found sound vastly better, but I thought I'd toss out that link to any other Canadian whose reading this thread and wants to follow a similar strategy.

I have a bachelor's degree in Biology and one in Education. I was thinking practically, combining wanting to learn about life, origins etc with something that would help me be employable long term.
I gave teaching an earnest go, spending more than 3 years supply teaching. But I learned that it just wasn't for me. I loved helping younger ones "get" something, but I just didnt have it in me to control the class adequately. You really only learn some of these things by trying.
It wasn't feasible to add more debt and go back to college, so I took up whatever service industry jobs were around. I've been working these last few years now at a call center. Its low pay but that doesn't bother me at all.
What stings is that some local JW elders have used me as their case in point, pushing their anti-post secondary education agenda. They've even made comments in my presence. I only really wished I was more successful so that I couldn't be used that way by the WTS.
yup it's official.
i will be a speaker at the international cultic studies association's confernece in montreal canada july 5-7 2012 you may find me asking for some specific information over the next couple of months like this one suicide - how many do you know within the jws.. the focus of my lecture will be on the invisible victims, such as those who are dfed, ubms (unbelieving mates), children raised in a home where one parent is a jw and the other isn't , people who get involved with jws only to find too late how much of a problem it will be in the relationship and the impact on these family members.
issues of suicide, depression, relationship breakdown and who knows what else i will find.. i do have to put limits on it.
for my birthday, my daughter (who works for apple) got me an iphone.. yes, i was using an old motorola flip-phone until now...like a geriatric captain kirk.. and i wondered why people had been giving me those strange looks before.... .
anyway, imagine my reaction to the mammoth technology contained in an iphone.. talk about a miracle, this qualifies.. i'm particularly impressed by the onboard gps.
i can type in a destination and the phone already knows exactly where i am and will plot a destination map onscreen.
Hope you're enjoying your iphone Terry.
Just one thing to keep in mind if you're considering jailbreaking your iphone. It would void your AppleCare+, if thats indeed the extra coverage you opted to get.
If you're daughter has the AppleTV then you can also have some fun airplaying over pictures or content on your iphone to a big screen HDTV. It makes for some nice passtime with family.
my finances are tight b/c of illness.
an important part of being desireable to employers is being technologically proficient.
it seems strange b/c my employers would pay for anything even if only remotely related to the job.
@thetrueone

Let's try this from Chrome instead of IE 9.0:
If you're going to go for a refurbished iphone then don't go older than an iphone 3GS. This is the oldest iphone that will still run the latest software iOS 5.
The iphone 3G looks virtually identical but its internals aren't fast enough.

...and keep him very close, buy him some presents, take him out for supper and maybe even give him money.
that way you are a little bit assured of not getting punished or of getting a very lenient outcome if you happen to find yourself on jc..
