Dug makes an excellent point about taking artistic pursuits and turning them into money. That's the issue I've had with becoming a graphic designer (that combined with how competitive it is...)

I didn't think it was possible to say or do anything to set HK off. Or you, for that matter...

Having had a bad DO experience makes me a little gunshy of them. But as I've pointed out myself there are quacks in every field. And the there are surely good ones as well. It's just in my experience I haven't found one. Of course, I'm not likely to since I stopped looking

I was too slow to be marketable as a commercial artist even though I studied for it for a semester my senior year in high school. But show me an ad and I can tell you exactly what's wrong with it. Is there a market for people who piss people off? Besides comedy and terrorism?

I've said it before, I don't care what two consenting adults do to or with each other as long as it doesn't involve children or animals.

Neither can give their consent, and that is key to any sexual act. IMO.

Huh?
If you read that as annoyance, I apologize for not being more clear. (I don't think it's possible for you to annoy me.)

I was just responding to your statement "After all, it's late in the day for me, and I despise the medical establishment for many and varied reasons. (Odds, if you're reading this, I know you do the nursing thing, but come on, you hate it )", and probably should have put one of those cute little smiley things after it.

*hee hee hee snort!*
No, no.
Animal studies are part of the requirements for the devices we develop. (You know. Instead of putting something untested and unproven into some poor, fragile human being.) Guinea pigs are too small for implants; we generally use other animals.... We even saved a race horse! But that's another story and I'm not sure if patient confidentiality would be in play... *snikker*

At any rate, as part of the "medical establishment," I imagine I have a little different perspective and understanding of the practice, regulations, and industry as a whole. I confess to getting somewhat weary of the misconceptions that are bandied about and thrown back in various ways as accusations. I won't ramble on, as I don't know the specificities that evoke such disdain, but I would be happy to address any points or questions as best I can.

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

My only distain is that much of the medical establishment seems to be about the highest bidder. Drugs before herbs and changes in diet (and in fact rarely taking diet into account) and as many of them as possible. It bothers me. Diet is very closely linked to health, but only people with possible heart disease are told to change theirs at all (despite the fact that sugar makes blood thicker and feeds cancer cells) and it bothers me.
As for being disgusted by the idea of working as a doctor or nurse... I don't wanna wipe anyone's ass but my own, and I think that dealing with sick people all day would wear on me. The D.O. thing sounded better because it focuses on actual health care rather than caring for the sick which I see as very different, and also sounds like it takes more things into account and offers more alternatives. Everyone is different, and finding the right treatment is more important than seeing how many expensive drugs it takes to 'fix' someone (a.k.a. eliminate their symptoms but not the underlying cause; another issue I have with it)
*gets off the soapbox*
This all comes from my own personal experience with doctors, which has been limited to my grandpa dying of cancer they didn't find until he was more than half dead and Ex#3 (formerly ex of doom) being in the hospital for a blood clot and being prescribed rat poison to take care of it, rather than a diet and exercise plan (which should have worked for a man his age). Also the conversations I have overheard/messages I have taken working for an answering service (we have a lot of doctor's offices). I have personally gotten better results with diet (which I need to work on) exercise (which I need to get back to) herbs (which have made me feel worlds better in just a couple weeks) and homeopathics (which lifted me out of depression, allowed me to heal from dental surgery twice as fast as average according to the doctor, as well as taking care of a lot of the pain from said surgery, and have basically improved my life with very little effort on my part except giving up coffee and peppermint. Only have to take the remedies themselves every once in awhile)
Okay, sorry.

Sorry to hear that, NVG. My soapbox got eaten, too. I hit back and it was still there in the reply field, so I copied it and tried again. I think I tried four times before it worked (and I did have to paste it in at one point) Did you try that? It really sucks if that didn't work...

Hell's Kitten - glad to hear there's not much of a market for breast implants for guinea pigs. After Rugbug's horror story I started to wonder. LOL ( well sort of LOL and sort of eeeeeeeew) Glad to hear you saved a horse. I love horses:) Actually I love all animals which is why MisterG forbids( in a joking way) me to watch nature shows. Because then I see animals and want them as pets ( may I say I still think a wallaby would make a nice pet...or maybe a meerkat...or a penguin...or there was this really cute hedgehog)

We had the plumbing go out here at work...for three days. They thought it would be a week or two...so it wasn't as bad as it could've been. I think the worst part of it all was that I was facilities manager at the time. I scrambled and came up with solutions (had Really nice port-a-pots delivered within 2 hours...got bottled water delivered, got paper plates/cups/plastic spoons, knives and forks. Every need was covered, just not in the fashion the employees were used to), but people were still pissed off.

Hey Deepgirl!

Okay, I'm also a member of the English Lit graduate club. And I completely understand your worry that you won't be qualified for anything in particular when you finish your degree.

My circumstances are a bit different as I live in Ireland, and jobs wise we're doing pretty well. That being said, I was terrified when I left University. It's not like they have ads looking for English Grads in the newspaper!

My first job after leaving Uni was Credit Analysis. I worked for one of the largest banks in the world. I was working with Business graduates, IT graduates, all sorts. I got the job not because I was qualified in a business field, but because I used my interview to explain the skills an English degree gives you. You learn to research. You learn to create reports on complicated material in a very short space of time. You learn to communicate, orally and in writing. You learn to pick out the information you need from a *vast* array of resources. You also tend to pick up word processing skills and typing skills, if for no other reason than you are an English student in despa- despi- desperi- dire need of a spellchecker.

Yes, I went on to do other courses after I finished my degree. At first I did a business and IT diploma just to have something technical on my CV. I did not learn half the skills I learned through my English degree. After that I went from looking for a cosy office job that would pay the bills and then some (which my English degree had no trouble helping me with) to deciding what it was I wanted to do with my life. I do want to write, which right now is still a hobby, but I also wanted to teach adults. So I got a qualification in teaching computers - which took about a year part time - and a certificate in teaching English as a foreign language - which took a couple of weeks part time and is internationally recognised so it's basically a passport to anywhere in the world! The downside of all this is that I'm earning less than I was and will be for at least a bit longer, but the major upside is that I'm working at a job I love. Nothing buys that feeling :)

For *any* job, experience is vital. Internships, volunteer work, even that Saturday job at Four Star Pizza will help you get your foot in the door.

If it's writing and books you adore then there are jobs out there that revolve around them. Have you thought about a career in Abstract Writing? I'm fuzzy on the details, but you'd need a strong track record in writing to land that position. Still, it's an actual writing job that pays pretty well, so it's worth asking about. There's also copy editing, web editing, technical writing ... a whole bunch of jobs that involve writing that none of us ever think of. You may need to learn some new skills (like HTML or Web design software for web editing) but there are loads of classes available and most of the time you won't need a qualification in that area, just proof you know what you're doing!

Boy, I'm really taking over the thread here... anyway, I just wanted to speak up in favour of English Lit. I did adore studying it and I'd go back and do my Masters tomorrow if I could! And while you won't be guaranteed a career in something in particular, you'll still pick up an amazing amount of skills.

Good luck!

I have a question! I doubt it's an imponderable, though:

Someone recently said to a bunch of us "You good folks are the salt of the earth!" and it was said in a positive, complimentary manner.

Now, I've always understood that to "salt the earth" meant to make it unable to yield crops... a "scorched earth" tactic that basically ruins the land.

SO... how'n th'hell does "you're the salt of the earth" become a compliment? What's it mean??

For those of you just joining us, or actually reading one of my posts for the first time, I have an odd fascination with language, which leads me to think about things like this.

It's biblical in it's origin and has to do with the nescessity of salt for flocks to lick - salt licks are still used today - and how without salt your flock may not do too well in the harsh Middle Eastern climate... blah blah blah ...

glad I could help!

my other favorite is of course Pippin. Gotta find my corner of the sky and all.

Shall crime bring crime forever,
Strength aiding still the strong?
Is it thy will, o Father,
That men shall toil for wrong?
"No", say thy mountains;
"No", say thy skies;
Man's clouded sun shall brightly rise,
And songs be heard instead of sighs.
God save the people.

I will now have all this stuff in my head for the rest of the dang week!
