BongoBob Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 In vegas, school starts next monday. I just now got information on school. FROM THE WRONG F***ING SCHOOL! After fighting tooth and nail to stay at the same school, and being garunteed and registered for this year, they send me a packet from the school I'm supposed to be going to(it sucks ass). Not only that, they have me listed as a freshman, even though I'm entering my sophmore year of high school. So now tomarrow I get to wake up bright and early and go down there and fight them YET AGAIN. If I have to, I'll threaten to drop out. I have to go to this school or else it will make it really hard to graduate as I'd have to go to summer school(school I need to go to offers 8 classes instead of the clark county standard 6, and I need every extra class I can get), and we can't freakin afford it. Wish me luck : |
RoxStar Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Whoa that sucks. Was there like a boundary chane or somethin?
ET Warrior Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Best of luck BongoBob, hopefully they will see reason and not be stupid. Don't listen to Rogue 15, quitting is a terrible idea.
Nerd_Annhilator Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Drop Out = Extremely stupid. Don't do it. Best of luck getting into the right school.
Jeff Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 I'm sure you'll get it all sorted out. And definately don't drop out. I would think that most people that drop out of high school fail at life.
BongoBob Posted August 22, 2005 Author Posted August 22, 2005 Don't worry, it's more of a bluff than anything Anyhow, I'm waiting for my mom to finish getting ready, and then we're going down to the school and gonna try to sort things out. Wish me luck.
Elijah Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Im sure Nevada has somthing like the CHSPE, which is the test in California to gradute highschool at 16, with a simple test... If not, droping out is the same as going to a private non state acredited school. Its not like they give you much new material that you cannot live without after 9th grade anyways.
TiE23 Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Homeschool! >_> Nah, that sucks just as bad. Hope you can get it sorted out Bobo! Cause I would be pissed off, too, having to do the 9th year again and its not my fault.
ET Warrior Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Its not like they give you much new material that you cannot live without after 9th grade anyways.Except for, you know, that diploma..
Acrylic Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 if you're not planning on college, drop out. I'm not exactly planning on it as of yet. I don't see the point yet. Spend a lot of money on an "education" and get a sub-par mediocre job anyways? No thanks., unless I'm guaranteed a well paying job. Anyways, good luck. I'm in the district for going to a different highschool, but I didn't want to go to that school, cuz IMO, it sucks *cough*Kjolen goes to it*cough* so I went to the school I wanted to go to. (We have 3 highschools in this town BTW)

If you pick up a communications major, you spent your money to party, basically.
Kjølen Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Electrical and Computer Engineering for the win! Maybe with a minor in Computer Science.

Spend a lot of money on an "education" and get a sub-par mediocre job anyways? No thanks., unless I'm guaranteed a well paying job. Except that college graduates earn like x10 more. But you know, nobody wants that. >_>
El Sitherino Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Do something in math and you can pretty much get a job anywhere. Your only limits are what you give yourself.
ZBomber Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Do something in math and you can pretty much get a job anywhere. Your only limits are what you give yourself. My limit is that I SUCK at math. Good luck, hope it all gets sorted out, and yes, go to college.
Kjølen Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Well, the good (or bad, depending on how you look at it) thing about Computer Science or Electrical and Computer Engineering is that a lot of Maths is required.
BongoBob Posted August 23, 2005 Author Posted August 23, 2005 Well, after dealing with a bunch of cocknockery, we finally found out the problem and (hopefully) got it dealth with. What happened was I was on a zone varience, and according to my mom who was the one that met with the school, I was garunteed it for the rest of my time in hs as long as I kept my grades up. Well I did, and at the end of the year, I was called to the office to reregister for this year. I gave my info, and she said she couldn't find me.I mentioned I was ona zone varience, and boom, she found me and registered me. Apparently, that garuntee sucked ass, because I was supposed to reapply for one in may. Thanks for god damn telling me this now, not 4 months ago when I registered. We will find out on Wednesday if I'm gonna go there, or if we're gonna have to fight tooth and f***ing nail to go there.
Tyrion Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Do something in math and you can pretty much get a job anywhere. Your only limits are what you give yourself. What..um..happens if you want to go for English?
Mike Windu Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Then I guess you'll be writing stuff now, won't you
El Sitherino Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 What..um..happens if you want to go for English? Your job options are limited. Only reason to go out for english is if you want to be an English teacher or work for a publishing company.
Acrylic Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Except that college graduates earn like x10 more. Can you say that for all college graduates? No. Alot of the college graduates I know can't find jobs in the field they majored in, which made going to college a waste of money for them. I don't want that, unless I can be guaranteed I'll be making the good money and spend 10 years paying off college loans, like my 9th grade English teacher was doing.
ET Warrior Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 It's like we said, it really depends on what you major in. A computer science major can easily make 50,000 a year right out of college, and after a few years it only gets better. It's also a matter of luck sometimes, if you get out at the right time, or know the right people you can get a really good job right out of college without much trouble.
