Haha that house looks like a typical McMansion from the facade that they just stretched out to the size of a football field

No it was like football field in length but only like two rooms deep. It looked like an oversized dorm. I couldn't see the frot door area but it really didn't have what you would call any archetectural aspects to it all, but it was under construction. In the middle of nowhere so it wasn't a hotel. Who knows. Just going off what the agent said, that it was a house that went belly up during construction. Friend that lived there in Athens said they had an article in the paper about it at some point, that's where I got the take part of it down for something wrong permit wise. From the looks of it, at this point it's basically material to be hauled off. Looked like construction had stopped some time ago and this was a while ago.
I was just riding with the agent and I guess it was the hot thing to show people lol. It was kind out in the middle of nowhere out toward Richland Chambers I think. I saw it again later when a friend drove by it. I wasn't really interested in buying but I was for 2 days with nothing to do.

No, I remember when that one went up for sale. It was a religious deal wasn't it? I can't remember.You talking about this?
It also looks like it was built in a pasture.

Tell them you'll come in part time on contract for triple per hour what you used to make. Hell, quadruple.
If they don't go for it, fuck them you didn't want to work for them anyway.
If they do... profit? It's a win/win.

You can't leverage it to get a nice paying job or equal paying job with less hours? Not that unheard of in my field, guys tired of the long hours and comittment negotiate to only work 40 hours a week or have an extra day off a month or whatever at decreased pay.

Just accepted a job offer as a fisheries biologist for a private lake management and consulting company. Base salary is kinda shit but there's bonuses and revenue sharing so it might not be too terrible. Trade off is I'll be outside damn near every day of the spring/summer on beautiful private lakes stocking fish, shocking fish, angling for fish, or doing general water quality monitoring stuff. Pretty stoked, but this will be the first summer since 2012 that I'm not in Montana or Idaho. It was time to get a big boy job.

My work is all piece work and usually the way it works is once you touch the car, it's yours cause everyone has different approaches on how to work on a car/storage of nuts and bolts and since cars aren't uniformly built, it helps to have originally tore it down so you know where everything goes. Like I saod, only way it would work would be restoration work but I go insane doing that and the pay is shit.
Right now I'm just busting ass at work for a couple of years to save up to build a tiny house and then I'm going to retire from full time work for a bit.

I did, part time briefly (while still running two restaurants) and I have no desire to ever do helpdesk shit for a telecom again. Now I'm just intentionally unemployed (school!~) and doing random contract-type network-engineering crap on the side. My shitty A.S. in Network Engineering will earn me beer money while I work on my CS degree.

The dude that was going to hire me to work at a major film studio got laid off five days before I was supposed to meet him to sign the paperwork. As a result, the appointment was canceled. I feel bad for the dude... assuming he actually worked there. I'm still not even sure because I couldn't find him on IMDB and he contacted me and the other candidates through a personal email, not a company email.
On the bright side, I got accepted to CSLA. Finally, after four years of applying to the same universities over and over again, the shittiest one wants to take me in lol.

CSULA, get your own school right
I know a couple people that have gone through there off the top of my head, one for a BS in management/accounting, and the other an MA in counseling.

That's the problem with Liberal Arts degrees in general, I would imagine, and Film Studies degrees in particular. Unless you are literally some rock-star behind the camera/director's chair/editor/whatever, all an AS in Film Studies means is that a four year is missing out on 1-2 years of super inflated tuition prices. You can't really do "research" to put their name on the Nobel short list, and unless you're a rockstar you might not even produce anything noteworthy in the first place, since it's -really- easy to get all kinds of small projects going on shoestring budgets with advances in various tech areas.
Grats Krip, make the most of that, even if it wasn't your first pick~

Degrees in film are absolutely pointless. If my situation were different, I would be skipping the BA and just going straight to work. But my dad has offered to completely pay for my college and pay for my room & board, so I can use college as an opportunity to find and make some good connections.
