Because Kodak.
most of these "easier to get jobs" doesnt even pay more than unemployment... and even that is significantly less than what i got at best buy.. (obviously)

i never said anyone else never had hard times. i know others are/have gone through what i've been through and even worse/longer periods of time have passed for them.

I'm pretty sure the scoring system changed, even so, I did terrible on the writing/reading comp just for the pure reason I completely and utterly hate that section that I refused to even try during that portion of the exam, low and behold my lack of fcks given showed

Point is.... I'm sure your scores were more rounded than mine and not so 1 sided

No, you misunderstand. The jobs he's qualified for simply don't exist anymore. He's a Photo Scientist, and there's not a lot of call for expertise in silver halide technology now that the industry has gone digital.

That's why I said, it's not like he didn't see this coming over the last 10 years.

bro... if i had just wrote what i wrote without an explanation then i see where you couldve gotten confused... if you wouldve simply said hey you made a mistake/typo when you wrote -15 then its an easily solved issue... but you wanted to go the arsehole route, but i clearly explained why n how i got to where i got to, i wouldve hoped your common sense tell you that it was a simple typo (things like that happen when typing from a cellphone)... but i guess things like that would infact throw you completely off... thats why im not an internet math teacher right??? at the end of the day it was an equation on what formula used to solve such a by itself question... anyways, hold ur teapot bro... way too much wasted energy on something you couldve pointed out from get go... have a nice day bro... you were right i was wrong (if that made ur dcik any harder lol)... on with life

Don't recall the distribution exactly, but I did OK on Math. However, I excelled at the written half of the exam.

Surprised?

Colleges and universities aren't for everyone. I'm doing it to get passed the glass ceilings I kept hitting. I wasn't sure if I would be able to budget for a bachelor's degree so I got my associate's at a cc. I was able to budget well so now I'm finishing the bachelor's. I've got plenty of friends that make big coin without any degrees, but they aren't in the field I want to be in. What's the point of making money if you're not doing something you like?

The -10 is wrong, not the -15. If it were me, I would feel you were being condescending if you didn't allow me to find the mistake. Different mindsets. I don't like being handed answers until I've exhausted all effort. I won't argure with you. It wasn't my intention in the first place. I was only trying to help.

From Texas, never took it, ACT was the cop out if you couldn't succeed in the SAT.

Being from my HS I thought I failed miserably because I didn't score in the 1300s like the "tards" to at my school, so I signed up for it, but didn't end up taking it for some reason.... little did I know I went to school in a secluded environment and the 1200s was a decent score to get into a decent school.

and if you would mind me giving a small word of advice.... when trying to help someone, you will find it best if you made it as simple as possible... i wasnt asking to be given an answer, i had no control on if an answer was written or not, and if the question said..... factor y= 2(x-3)(x+5) then you have a base to start n understand where to go and what is the question asking.... now the question was simply listed like this
6. Y= 2(x-3)(x+5)....

how would you use a formula if you dont know where to start, what is the question asking you to do, not knowing the answer?? how will that teach you without having an actual instructor?? how would you know if you are right or wrong???

One or the other, Nate, what do scholarships start at? SATs in the 1300s? right??

Either that or needing a 3.3+ for most.

Meh, I just need to finish school, night school here we go again
