than what this man is saying</p> <p>watch this. seriously</p> </blockquote> <p>yes yes yes yes yes</p> </blockquote> <p>this is amazing</p> </blockquote> <p>this guy is so sick </p> </blockquote> <p>I needed this right now. Anyone taking finals needs this right now.</p> </blockquote> <p>I’m about to turn 30. I could have been valedictorian when I graduated High School but I was too lazy to complete the forms. I have a Bachelor’s from DeVry, where I left with an average 3.2 carrying an average course load of 18 credit hours (peak 24, nadir 14). I also have an Associate’s from a local college, and I am Phi Theta Kappa there.</p> <p>Here’s what I can tell you.</p> <p>No employer has ever asked for my GPA. No employer ever gave a SHIT about my grades. DeVry only cared about my ACT score, and my Bachelor’s lost me jobs because I was “overqualified”. Now that I’m using my Associate’s, no one cares about my grades, or degree. My employer cares about A) my hours, B) my practical quals.</p> <p>Unless you’re pushing for the Ivy League, no one is going to care about your grades. Ever. Amen. So I say to you this: 3.0 or above works for most but honestly, just get a good score on your ACT or SAT (and remember, you can retake it!). College is not a guarantee of a good life or even a paycheck. If anything it’s a near-guarantee of crippling debt.</p> <p>THAT DOES NOT MEAN DO NOT GO, but for god’s sake do your research on your degree. Know what to expect. Colleges are marketing departments and will tell you sweet lies to get your money because college doesn’t care and won’t coddle you.</p> <p>DO SOMETHING THAT YOU LOVE. Find a way to make money in a way that you enjoy. It might not be the thing you enjoy most, but if you like it and it pays for what you enjoy most, well. That might be good enough.</p> <p>Read. Travel. Take risks. Fuck up, try again. But enjoy it.</p> <p>Godspeed.</p> <p><img alt="" src="http://celebquote.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/hunger-games-quotes-20.gif"/></p> </blockquote> <p>I have been asked twice for my university GPA by prospective employers.</p> <p>Twice.</p> <p>I had a 4.0 GPA (on a 4.0 scale) in my MA program at the time and I’m a member of Phi Alpha Theta, Alpha Lambda Delta, and Golden Key.</p> <p>It wasn’t enough. They wanted more <em>experience</em> in the particular field I was applying to.</p> <p>Don’t rely on a degree. Live some life and get some experience relevant to your future goals or something you enjoy. Study abroad (their are scholarships - I got paid to go to Korea and India (basically), it helped with employment), do internships, work for a charity…</p> <p>a GPA is nothing when it’s paired with little to no life experience.</p> </blockquote>http://thepushback.tumblr.com/post/51005643508http://thepushback.tumblr.com/post/51005643508Tue, 21 May 2013 14:08:59 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/e87300213ed8e449b60a040bfc0a5364/tumblr_mm9z64Ky6B1r4lt7vo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thepushback.tumblr.com/post/51003208099http://thepushback.tumblr.com/post/51003208099Tue, 21 May 2013 13:30:34 -0500<a href="http://www.minds.com/blog/view/83560/pizza-from-a-printer-nasa-to-spend-125000-funding-3d-food-production-project">Minds | Pizza from a printer: NASA to spend $125,000 funding 3D food production project</a>http://thepushback.tumblr.com/post/51002482974http://thepushback.tumblr.com/post/51002482974Tue, 21 May 2013 13:18:25 -0500pizza<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcpkp4aM8p1ryt6fto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thepushback.tumblr.com/post/50999833659http://thepushback.tumblr.com/post/50999833659Tue, 21 May 2013 12:32:47 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/602c2c6c5532b76fe28d3884cb0f22b3/tumblr_mmwtpcfvmZ1qz7s6jo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://crowcrow.tumblr.com/post/50996892630/interweber-i-made-this-and-it-is-good-i-think" target="_blank">crowcrow</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://interweber.tumblr.com/post/50600821739/i-made-this-and-it-is-good-i-think" target="_blank">interweber</a>:I made this and it is good, I think. </p> </blockquote>http://thepushback.tumblr.com/post/50999626488http://thepushback.tumblr.com/post/50999626488Tue, 21 May 2013 12:29:11 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/fb8b3099edc8685cc7d208770c5108f1/tumblr_mn5rtn42Fj1qa1grho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://anorthernhome.tumblr.com/post/50998718101/shaggys-grumpy-today-hes-sick-of-this-weather" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">anorthernhome</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>shaggy’s grumpy today, he’s sick of this weather too</p></blockquote>http://thepushback.tumblr.com/post/50999582525http://thepushback.tumblr.com/post/50999582525Tue, 21 May 2013 12:28:24 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/8cae42ca920019ccb3c415af84cf489e/tumblr_mn1jfpwUDh1qgiw5to1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thepushback.tumblr.com/post/50999564143http://thepushback.tumblr.com/post/50999564143Tue, 21 May 2013 12:28:05 -0500
