Why college sucks compared to a job

Hey guys, been a long time since my last blog post.

since then i past my level 2 food course, went to my level 3 interview, and didn't make the grade.

in the last 2 weeks, my life has changed, rapid job hunting ensured, and yeilded a epic result.
i has a job now, hopefully earnt about £40 for 6 hours work, while at college, i only got £30 for a week.

all i have to say is.

I'M F@@@ING RICH!!

im also going to go spend most of it tomorrow, as im going on a scout camp this friday, im departing my house at 2am :(
means im also going to be away for about 2 weeks.

see you later

That's not that impressive bro. I made $15 an hour as a construction worker. Right now after getting my education I have a $80,000 a year job that already hired me. Trust me, in the end education is worth it...

Yeah education is well worth it

work in my uni's library

i clock in 9 hours a day. 4.5$ an hour, and best of all i just sit down and don't really do anything.

along with my financial aid, and scholarship, it's kind of easy paying away the fee's

also nice to hear from you benbop :)

To be fair, it is quite good for me, being 17 and a first job, it also may be i be able to finish my last level of cooking while im doing work, and get at least £90. Losta money!

i wasn't any older than you when i started university myself and hence my work. I was 17 as well, just giving you some advice mate; been at this for 1 year, focus on your studies as well ;)

i'm in full time tertiary education (not college but w/e) and have a job :D
i only get around $12 an hour though due to my age but i get commission on top of that so it doesn't work out too bad all in all

AU$12?

Isn't minimum wage AU$16? If they are paying you AU$12, that's ilegal.

most companies work off the books

hiring under age people without proper working papers they can pretty much pay what they

College > Job.
Enjoy not being able to get the jobs you really want due to low qualifications.

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, ik

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
