the thread about nothing...

[mplsdunk]

yeah, well i started school. i have to go back and finish, i'm not in school anymore. i don't need the school at this point but i want to finish just because i'm almost done. one semester left.

i want a hands on skill because i think a college degree is useless or becoming useless word to the PHDs on foodstamps. even i know that my field all about pushing paper and stats around. wanted to be a mechanic but once i looked at their statistics at lincoln tech i was just how people would sign up when the salary isnt even good. then i looked into farming and ive seriously considered farming and being a chef. il prob do both. not sure if il do it when im still in queens college or not.

to be honest, school isn't necessary for this either. if you get in the right restaurant, a scratch kitchen you'll learn alot. how to make stocks and everything is important. school is good though because unless you know people it will be hard to land a job with no experience and you do learn alot in school. i'd have no idea how to make bread from scratch unless it were for school and many other things i learned there too.

DON'T go to cordon bleu or art institute. they charge culinary institute of america prices for no reason. you cant get a better education at a community college with a good program. just gotta find which one has a good culinary program.

i agree, getting a degree isn't gonna make you money automatically. i work with servers who have their masters but make better money serving. the goal is to own something of your own one day.

as far as owning a farm and a restaurant. if you're putting out good food you'd kill it. that's the craze now is local food man. you'd be busy as hell but it would go well if approached right. we have a restaurant here called heartland. it's across from one of the farmers markets and he gets alot of food from there so the menu changes daily. he's one of the most successful guys around.

yea i feel like we gotta PAY to learn now instead of apprenticeship that business owners had and was willing to take in. im guessing its the liability purposes for most fields that they wont do that?

my plan was to bring latin food to hong kong because we have similar tastes.

there was a guy in brooklyn that sold his pizzeria recently and moved to hong kong in 09. im guessing because he got scared with the financial crisis and what not. dude speaks no cantonese or mandarin AT ALL and opens up a chain of pizzerias there cause its that freaking successful. now im on the business fanpage and i see dude driving a panamera and some other exotic car. this is a country where buying a 3 series would cost you around 300k USD! dudes expanding to singapore and china now like damn. wish i thought of it cause pizza hut was the monopoly there, they needed some competition.

yeah the days of actually getting an apprenticeship are pretty much gone. you're going to have to go to school for damn near everything now.

i actually heard about that guy i think. sounds familiar. i don't know anything about hong kong but it doesn't sound like a bad idea. dude was smart as hell for that move.

totally unrelated... i go on da gram a few minutes ago to see the home girl eating dinner with michelle rodriguez. random as hell.

Do auto mechanic make a lot or is it a deadbeat job?

 

[championboyz7]

Do auto mechanic make a lot or is it a deadbeat job?

Im sure it depends where you work and your work experience.
If youre beginning and you work in a little shop then yeah pay isn't gonna be that good.
But I got a friend who has a degrees and what not and works for lexus and he say pay is good. Then again he has years in and degrees . So take it for what its worth.

 

[kickstart]

I'm weak. I can't drink anything straight. I have to drink alcohol mixed and coffee with cream.

the tuition for a year in lincoln tech was 30k. the wages they were giving me was around the 15-20 an hr range which comes to around 30-35k. you cant live off that in ny. they try to sucker the car enthusiasts in there on how its FUN and cool to work on cars. im looking at the students and they look depressed as hell so i knew something was up.

i thought the millions of cars in NY that there would be money to be made in that field considering how people are keepign their cars longer before swapping it for something new. maybe if you owned the shop you could make money/\

good look brodie that's what I'm tryna do what school did he go to?

 

[mplsdunk]

man, my boy used to work for maserati. one of their techs they had work for them used to work for ferrari in italy. dude was PAID! their techs were crazy good, i used to get work done their under the table for dirt cheap. dudes could fix anything with the quickness. i was in their shop one day these dudes took the engine out a bentley muslane because the turbo swolled a rock and blew the engine. horrible design, i was under it when it was on the lift. turbo was like a foot from the ground.

obviously it varies what you get paid like anything does.

 

[robpzee612]
