Hi.

what do you do Jamey?

I.T. I'm actually trying to get through college now to get out of the field, though.

Add one more to the list.

The three most important things to get ahead in business are: hard work, ambition and people skills. None of those are really learned in college/university, at least they aren't learned in a classroom.

Those are the same things you need to get ahead in anything. Business, academia, etc.

[QUOTE=BenJammin;14433698]Those are the same things you need to get ahead in anything. Business, academia, etc.[/QUOTE]

And they are not learned in a classroom. I have those three traits (I am also an extremely quick learner), so I figure that I can get ahead in something and right now school doesn't interest me.

A friend of mine is half Native, so he gets paid to go to school. Tuition + $440 a semester.

One of my friends is enough native to get his status card, but refuses to. I don't understand that at all.

Well.. it depends to which school you go I suppose :amaze:

Hard work. Defenitly if you're going to the University. College is a laugh, but there are also harder schools.

Ambition. Comes out of yourself, but you can be helped to find it. Well.. quite a few people do that at school. Even if they find out that they DON'T want to do something with English, they're still finding their ambition.

People skills. I have never seen something that is as social as a school is :smash:

I'm not bashing you, I'm just giving you a lot of counterpoints :) Of course you can make your money out of something without school, but it's hard. And with a degree, it's easier most of the times.

[QUOTE=irishslappop;14433776]what is this status card canadians?[/QUOTE]

This card saying that you are native/part native (I think that you have to be at least 1/16th), you then don't have to pay taxes of any kind. I don't even think they have to pay income taxes, and they get all the benefits of paying the taxes, free health care ect.

You have to be more than 1/16th, don't you? :|

I thought you had to be at least 1/4 Native.

Those traits are not learned in a class room, although they can be learned there. The only thing a degree gets you is a foot in the door, nothing more. 99% of the people that graduate university with a degree in business will never be anything more than a mid-level manager, which you don't need a university degree to do. A business degree trains you to be on the board of directors for a corporation, very few people with degrees ever make it there, thus their degree was useless. Also a lot of the people that end up on boards like that are people with little to no post secondary education or with a degree other than business.

Quite sure that it is either 1/8 or 1/16th. All I know that is my friend that is part native that doesn't want his cards doesn't look anything like a native. I wouldn't have known if it hadn't come up in a conversation a few months ago.

I can be something like that! Even in my own country.. I'm 1/4 Polish and 3/4 Dutch! :lol:

They can never do something like that over here.. Then like 40% get a card like that.

1. a foot in the door is better than the door being shut.

2. you say that "most" people with a dregree never make it to the board of directors. I say that "most" people that don't get a degree are gonna work at some retail outlet for half their life.
