What are you studying?

[AngelOfMusic]

At school I'd study to be a cabinet maker, and today I work as one (allmoast). At my work I make windows, tables, doors et cetera....

WoW! I love a man who's good with his hands! :wink:

Seriously though, around these parts it is hard to find a good craftsman these days. It is truly an art!

That's because blue-collar work doesn't pay too much, and the jobs that DO tend to be dangerous.  So alot of people get their diplomas so they can get what they hope is a high-paying job.  Also, the call for people who actually make t hings with their hands has lessened with those crazy, technological innovations.  Many things are becoming a lost art, thanks to technology.

Well I can open a bottle of beer in a split second but that is not what you meant right ?

Information Technology or Computer Science, dunno how you call it at your places, doesn't matter anyway.

Heading straight for the diploma next year (if I can find and work out a good topic soon). Thought about going on towards the Master, mainly because it has to be SO COOL to have cards with printed "Master of Science" on 'em!   But I will probably not have the time/patience to do so.

[Metalmaiden]

"ODIN, Alfather, Master of the Boards, Bleeding for Metal" is way cooler than "Master of Science"  IMHO!!!

Metal RN  already has his  job picked out when he retires from nursing....He wants to be an I.T. professional. Computers.  He is looking forward to working with clients (inanimate objects) that don't talk back! (or try to kill him when they are having a bad day!)

[Odin]

Hahaha, well, Metal RN will have to choose his job wisely then. I work in service and consulting and have to cope with a lot of talking back clients...  :roll:

And some of them appear to be willing to consider murder when things don't go the way they'd like to have them as I had to experience earlier this week.

True, true.  :beer:

@Metalmaiden: I'm very handy.  :wink:


Well, I get enough money from my job, and it's only dangerous if you're not carreful.

Dude !

Could you help me out on this one ?
Food and drinks and LOTS of metal are on the house !!

You'd better have said in Chinese, there might have been a chance I would have understood it better...

You have to understand that I am 15 years older than  Metal RN so when I'm ready for the "nursing home" he'll still be considered  the "young stud".  I could probably make quite a tidy profit  pimping him ourt!
