TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

WELL

          Here in Portland, Oregon, we're busting at the seems with just about every trade. Looking at the job seeking ads daily, I see about 20 "seeking a mechanic" ads for every carpenter wanted, pretty much daily. My cousin in Chicago does trucks/ semi trucks and he's not only always working but makes great cash too. Millwright could be a potential more interesting field, with more diverse applications.

OR

          Get a Masters degree in just about any academic field and you can move here to make minimum wage working a cash register in a record store or something.

I spoke with an academic adviser and it seems my best bet is:

1. Get decent paying job.
2. Save enough rent for a year.
3. Enter associates program for diesel/heavy equipment.
4. After a year, get a job in the field while finishing up my last year.
5. Keep job, find fulfillment in "dying at the wheel", as per ghandi's good advice.
6. Work on B.S. in technology.
7. Technical Writer?

A millwright looks VERY interesting though.

:kingmeh:

you must be from a different Portland, Oregon. One which is not suffering from an estimated real unemployment rate of over 20%. Is it nice there? Is housing affordable? Are all of those employed people spending their disposable incomes in fancy restaurants that actually pay chefs a decent wage relative to their skillset?

Because if so, man, I am SO there.
