My Rant

I'm ranting again cuz I like to rant.

  Retail: Working in retail you are not going to become rich. Store managers district manager ect will make good money depending on the size of the chain. If you work retail don't bitch because you work 20 hours a week for minimum wage. Don't bitch about money you have single mother that work three jobs to stay off welfare and provide for their kids, but KNOW it's not a head of household job! Unskilled labor doesn't always pay well but I've made a living doing it. My only trade I am good at is warehouse work, it's not skilled but it pays well. There are other jobs in this world besides retail. If people want to make money in retail just hang it up. Maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm offending you if so I apoligize. No one is saying why isn't McDonalds paying more but people want to know why retail doesn't.

  Army: Soldiers bitch. Thats what they do. The saying is if a soldier isn't bitching about something there is something wrong with them. First timers who bitch about having to go over seas is mind bogling. Reserve soldier who complain about going over seas is silly. If you join the Armed Forces know that your job is not going to be teaching kids to read, to go shake hands and make friends with people. You jobs is to break things and blow shit up. When grenades go off flowers don't pop out!  Bullets kill people  they are not designed to give back rubs. If you join the millitary for a reason other than serving your country you are wrong. Kids of 18 years old want money for collage so they join up that's not the reason to join. Maybe the Army is a fault on this one but I don't think so. People should know. The Army gave me 20K for a re enlistment I did it in a "combat" zone. I knew what I was getting into.

 Internet: I used to think the internet was great and it is but it also gives anyone with an opinion a voice. With proper planing a person can argue that milk is bad and convice a lot of people that they are right.

  Over all: People need to start thinking again! Thinking for themselves!
 
         I hope this doesn't piss anyone off. At the same time I hope people read this and if they disagree they say so. Not say "I'm anti Army so you're wrong!" I think people on this site are thinkers and I don't think I'm wrong on this. I'll see yall later and remember "It's always dirtier down south"

Good post just a comment about the army or military in general. When I was 18, the Navy recruiter came to my highschool for recruiting, I had just been wait listed by Virginia Tech and I was pretty depressed about it. So I was talking to the Navy guy, came in one night and took the ASVAB test, scored incredibly high and thought wow, this could be great. I joined and chose the job where you work on the nuclear drives and such on the Aircraft Carriers and Submarines. (It was the highest paying enlisted job). I was promised $10,000 when I completed basic training and another $16,000 when i finished my 2 years of schooling. Here's the problem: I was a fat-ass and was pretty sure there was no way i was getting my ass through basic training. I brought this up with the recruiter before signing anything, and he assured me that with my rating and job classification I would be cut tons of slack as I was not doing a combat related job, so I signed up. What a lying piece of shit. Anyway, I lucked out, I was having problems with my knee during basic training and it turned out I had a condition that disqualified me from military service. But yeah, in my experience, those recruiters will tell you anything to get you to sign that paper. Sorry about the long-ass reply :)

Dude, one of the funniest things I ever saw was the number of female soldiers getting pregnant during the first Gulf War. I agree...if you want money for college, get a student loan. If you don't want to pay it back, don't get a student loan. If you want to serve your country, enjoy the benefits and good luck be with you. Cheers, -Sixty
