Gs, I'm sure there's alot of ppl in the military that suffer from depression. Yeah, Welbutrin is supposed to be good. What else are you good at? The problem is that without a degree some jobs will be out of reach (which I know you know). What courses did you take in college? Your SAT scores rock, man, I didn't even get 4 digits! Would you consider going back to school? Or is a job your main concern? Could I possibly ask any more questions? LOL

I'm thinking about possibly just trying to get a job, and then going back to school nights or something. Yeah, I know I need a degree. I was taking a liberal arts/social sci curriculum. The one that offered the most range of different courses. I was actually quite good in bio, psych, abn psych, philos, sociology, and english lit. I read quite a lot, yes I know I'm a dork. What gets me is math. I just hate it. I can do it, but I'd rather do anything to avoid it But yeh, right now a job is my main concern since I need money and could use a place to live.

That's an idea. I'm quite good at bullshitting and it could start me off. I'll check it out.

ups! dude, just a package handler makes 7-11 an hr. full bennies. medical, paid vacation. hell even 3000 in tuition assistance! so if you haven't thought about college b4 there's a good reason. fedex is the same. handlers aren't drug tested either, but drivers are.

oh, and p.s. the military is not as great as it sounds. you are paid next to nothing for the possibility of giving your life. the bennies aren't much. and that vet. bennefits bull shit, well, my father never saw a cent (he sreved in vietnam), i dated a man who broke both his legs and lost many of his friends in a helicopter crash, i think the gov. paid for 1/3 his med bills. and all the "we'll pay your college tutition" talk. he graduated 2 years ago and has yet to see a cent. oh, and depression gets you kept out of and kicked out of the military.

Yeah you aren't paid much, but it is pretty much all spending money. Housing, food, medical. Everything is taken care of for you. What veterans benifits BS are you taliking about. Maybe your father got screwed by the government, but that was over 3 decades ago. Things are a lot different now. I have seen everything they have promissed me, education money, and I am getting a VA loan. My friend has gotten out with a dissability and is getting full medical and payments every month for the rest of his life. And guess what, I do know quiet a few people who have worked for UPS, and all of them say it is shitty backbreaking work for crap pay. Don't let your emotions and anti-government feelings blur out the fact that the government, although shitty at times has definately changed and now, it is seriously looking after it's veterans. If it wasn't they would not be able to recruit. Truth is that recruitment in the armed forces is still strong, except in the Army, but that is why you see so many Army commercials. The government is a very good option.
