    Default Learning things the hard way

    Today, I learned the hard way that when they say super glue, they really mean the "super".

    What have you learned the hard way?

    I learned to drive with my feet steering, my hands on the pedals and teaching me bollox to see the road.

    I also learned about super glue the hard way. Finger got super glued into a coat rack leg screw hole.

    Thought about rephrasing that. Didn't.

    As I mentioned in chat I also learned about super glue the hard way.

    Oh, and "money", in general. Yeah, there's a reason I'm broke. It's not entirely my fault, but a lot of it is.

    "Everybody's doing it" isn't a very good reason to go to college.

    I learned the hard way that I should probably go to the doctor more often.

    "It looks vaguely interesting" shouldn't be your only criteria for majoring in something in college

    my damn ass parents wanted my kid brother to go to college for something. So my brother said 'okay i want to be an animator'

    however animation colleges demand that you have a portfolio - basically my brother had 0 to very close to nil animation experience. So they forced him to apply for something he could get accepted in.

    So now my brother is finally about to finish his last semester for.....get ready for this: graphic design

    the amount of sheer rage he has been going through during the past 3 years makes me believe that the crap I read in notalwaysright.com is one sided. Also what you should be getting from this post is that my brother was strong-armed into graphic design because parent units didn't want to wait a year for him to get his shi ... get his portfolio set up. GET A DIPLOMA. NOW NOW NOW. PAPER GETS YOU JOBS

    Yeah my friend went into graphic design and it is absolute crap. He now works as a UPS driver.

    I wanted to be an interior designer. I instead opted for the practical route and went into sales because it`s almost impossible not to get a job in sales.

    Not to take on too many projects at once and instead manage my time better with a single project or two so that other projects can be spread out more. And also learning when to say no to certain projects (hint: not porn).
