I always wanted to make a work discussion thread, but never bothered with it. I thought that there was a thread about it somewhere, but I could never find it.
You'll be bored just doing hobbies alone. Waiting for the weekend to hangout with friends.lancelot200
Nah, I wouldn't be bored... my hobbies are more than enough to keep me occupied as I'm easily entertained. Honestly speaking I'd be thrilled if I didn't have to work for the rest of my life.
I'm sticking with my unemployed life until I finish my studies. I tried that 'part time worker, while still in school' bit, but I didn't like it. And it just wasn't worth it.
I'm currently on an internship at a Japanese electronics manufacturing company. Only one week there so far but I've already learned a few new things... hoping to take many things away from this experience at least.

and you've never had a problem getting a job in the first place?

Nope -- The job I had was in fast food. A monkey could do the job I had. I was honestly surprised I got something so quick and without any trouble at all. Once I go through internship, then finish, I know I'll find a job within my field.

I didn't know this! lol, it sure does sound nice:)
I hate welding, so boring. But for several weeks, I found a fun job where all I did was cut metal and put it in a pile all day, wished they kept me doing that more, better than what I do now.

Wouldn't welding require more effort than sheet cutting?

Wouldn't welding require more effort than sheet cutting? It does though, been doing it for years, I do like the pay I get, hope to go shopping soon.
I may be doing co-op this coming Fall semester. I've been putting consideration into it, and things are looking as though that may occur! I'd be living on campus as a full time student and only have to take a single class. Meanwhile I'd be getting paid for working full time at my job and get some work experience! The pay's not that bad either, it's on average around $16-$18 an average for a CS co-op job.

For a semester or two you work for an actual company instead of taking classes to get some work experience.

Oh, sounds like the internship I'm doing now then. Is the pay an allowance or a salary? What I'm getting here is an allowance which is roughly a third of the salary I could expect if I was holding this position for real.

What I'm getting here is an allowance which is roughly a third of the salary I could expect if I was holding this position for real. It's an actual salary from a real company. I'd be getting payed around $16 - $18 hourly and be working full time for one semester.
[QUOTE="silentexistence"] Sure. julian didn't mention per day or per hour though so I was wondering. I assumed per hour. [QUOTE="julian_jr"] It's an actual salary from a real company. I'd be getting payed around $16 - $18 hourly and be working full time for one semester. Suddenly you will feel rich.
If this happens then I'll be going to school, but not taking any classes for a semester. I'll be behind by a bit, however it'll be worth it in the long run since I'll already have a company that will want to hire me the second that I graduate school (that's usually what happens). And yeah it'll be such a nice semester. There won't be the stress of class and I'll be in college with money... Something that's usually unheard of lol.

What's one year of university for participating in a co-op program.

What's one year of university for participating in a co-op program. What do you mean?
[QUOTE="silentexistence"] Didn't want to assume because due to my experience I would be leaning towards per day. Only in the army I know the pay is per day, not per hour.
