Recommended Posts

Hi Guys!

My cousin was chosen to compete with other colleges for a "thesis competition" and he was thinking about the "Right Degree..Wrong Job" title.. I already gave survey sheets to some friends and not enough to support his thesis for debate.

So can i please ask you guys to help him out?

Here's how you will be putting your answer:

Degree/University:

Recent Job:

Reason:

So,I'll go first.

AB Communication Arts (De La Salle University- Dasma) '01

BS Nursing (DLSU - Dasma) 2007

Owns a small business and Baby Sitter for my niece (lol)

Reason: Jobs that are available is not for me and low salary, and I never had the chance to complete my training at a hospital after the Board Exam..If I have the chance and opportunity, i think I'll look for a job when i get to the states (like Anais, i think she has a good job there as RN.......I think i will have too)

***so we would know whether you landed on the job you want or not. if not, the reason of not to.

I'll be back....and I hope I can have some answers..

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SPENDING SOME TIME TO ANSWER THIS!!!!

GOD BLESS!

I wont argue with you, but since you ask questions...il answer you....

You are already taking the consequence jack...God,if you just know how most of the people here hate you...would it be nice that everytime you reply on some thread people wont be giving you negative comments? Look, if you just want people to apologize on what they done to you and the insulting words they told you? hell yeah, i would apologize right now..so we wont be having a hard time....

believe it or not, I am going to apologize to you....i know at some point ive been cruel and its not really good...."I'm sorry" and this would be the last time il be answering your questions..il try harder not to react on everything you say....I'm just so tired of this.....

Please dont make this hard for you and your wife....I know that Americans are just frank with a lot of stuffs, but sometimes you just have to watch your words....this is a Philippine Forum, most of the people are sensitive..FYI. I just feel so sorry for Anais, that she is being criticized too because of some simple reaction from you..(but means something for us pinoys....) I beg you, stop reacting if you cant say anything good....

Yeah,i dont have a job..and that's my decision....to just concentrate on my business and take care of my niece...

Well, if you are George Clooney...then i would say "yes"...i have a crush on you...LOL

As with tallcoolone. Mariel is trying to start a peaceful thread here and just telling your wife how Filipinos are. We are peace loving citizens, we will respect you if you are nice to us and not nasty. We are not mad at you, we are not agreeing on how you make nasty and degrading remarks. We, Filipinos are not used to that. Peace man, have a good one. Have a meaningful Holy Week to all. :star:

Forgiveness is not saying what someone did to us is right. It is saying, "I'll let God straighten this out"..
