Oh my god
I mean, I knew going in that teaching wasn't a money-making career. I enjoy it so that makes up for the lack of pay (kinda lol). This is year 8 for me and I'm debating going for my principal certification.RunningAir wrote:Teaching with a master's is what I plan on doing after I finish. c:Soleil wrote:Exactly...

My brother, for example, makes over 100k/year in the oilfield with absolutely zero college. I teach, with a master's degree, and I barely make 55k
The only reason why I'm not doing what I was doing (without college and doing pretty decent) is because my body can't handle a 48 hr a week on-the-foot job (old injuries). College is a financial burden that I'm lucky to be able to bear, too. This area is not the best for finding decent jobs.

That...is not why I dropped out. College was not hard for me, at all. By the end of the first year, I had a 3.97 GPA (also my "first" year was actually my sophomore year. I was able to skip freshman year completely because I had taken so many AP courses in high school and scored really high on all of the exams). I was sooooo bored in college. My classmates were zombies, and my professors were full of themselves. They thought they were superior just because they were older. I spent hours and hours browsing time-killing websites like SlowRobot and FML. I just sat in the student center, listening to music and watching Dr. Phil for hours and hours each day. This was with a full course load too. The work was uninteresting (probably because I tried to major in business like both of my parents, lol), I had zero friends (because I lived off campus and am not easy to get along with), and it was less intellectually challenging than my college-prep high school. I dropped out due to sheer boredom/worsening depression. My parents were initially not okay with this, but I've suffered from depression since I was 13, and the alternative to dropping out was killing myself. So they learned to live with it.Soleil wrote:Exactly... I tell my students that all the time. It's hard.

Breeding resto potions are a thing now, too. You can finally breed your bred-out tinsel wyrms and penguins againDanafox wrote:I just wanna say I am so SO SO SO HAPPY that we have gender potions now and I'm also SO SO happy that we have the Fine Tuning Glass (though I wish those were easier to get as well for below 1% hatchie collectors like me). But overall just soooooooo glad that we have these little magnificent items!!!!!
I was able to save gold/real life money by being able to gender change around 20 old retired donis I had stuck in a tab years ago that I had given up on because of them hatching all one gender/no matching pairs.
And right now I used the Fine Tuning Glass for the first time (because I only had 6 so I didn't want to use them), and thanks to the Celebratory shop with the 10 Year Gift I got up to 23 glasses...(hey better something than nothing!) and I just fixed my super mega old Kuras Tiger hatchling that was below 5%, it was at 2.37% before and now it's a perfect below 1% hatchling like I always wanted. WOW!![]()
Now I'm planning how I can fix a ton of other donis from my collection, but first I must buy TONS moar of the presents!!!!!![]()
Thank you Magistream your the best ever![]()
