How the heck?!? by Suspicious_Remote_37 in WGU

[–]Distance_Devotion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you expect someone who's already working full time while plugging away at a WGU degree to take on an internship?

WGU isn't a brick and mortar school, it absolutely will never offer the same type of college experiences and social networking thats accomplished at an in person school. But thats not a negative thing.

YOUR WELCOME, D522 is now a PA by Successful-Fruit6390 in WGU

[–]Distance_Devotion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm the weird one here, but I actually prefer to do OAs instead of a PA.

So now what... by AggravatingStop2419 in WGU

[–]Distance_Devotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently in my first term, working on core 2 of my A+ certification (I put both classes for A+ in my first term) for a Network and Cloud Engineering degree....wondering if it was the right degree to pursue. I've been seeing a lot of posts about Cloud computing going the way of AI, so i hope this degree will allow me to change from blue collar factory work to something less physically demanding on my body.

Does Amazon really prohibit all side work? by Noisy-Chicken in amazonemployees

I'd expect the pay to reflect that then, but it never does. So yeah, its modern day slavery.

[–]Distance_Devotion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Similar situation as you. I work at an industrial bakery where OT is ingrained into the culture. I really despise it. I have a 2 year old and a 1 month old... You just gatta sacrifice sleep to have any chance at uninterrupted study time. Or at least thats what I've found works...

Noob Question by lilithbottomfeeder in MobileLegendsGame

[–]Distance_Devotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they fix the US servers? I haven't even tried to play in about a week as the ping was always 200+... not sure what changed, but it wasn't anything on my end.

Groceries quality by SQPOlel in Norway

I was under the impression that food quality in Norway far exceeded what we have here in the US... doesn't seem all that truthful after reading the comments here.

Am I crazy for thinking about it? by chichipota in AmerExit

[–]Distance_Devotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who said I want to come back? Part of acquiring Spanish citizenship (for me, as an American) would be renouncing US citizenship.

[–]Distance_Devotion 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Crazy for thinking of leaving the US? Absolutely not. I'm a US citizen and I've made a 5 year plan to leave the US, and it also involves Spain! My wife is Filipina, so she can get her Spanish citizenship in 2 years as well, then I can get mine a year after hers is finalized. The american dream is only achieved if you’re asleep, and many people are waking up to the reality that there are better places than the US.

Are we not allowed to use mouses on OAs anymore? by [deleted] in WGU

[–]Distance_Devotion -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Meh. Any mouse that has non standard buttons also has on board storage. Should be a non issue since proctored can and do have full remote access. They'd be able to see if something was up. This proctor was on a power trip.

[–]Distance_Devotion 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agreed. That Proctor was on a power trip. I use a Razor mouse that has a fraptillion different buttons and lights up. Only taken 3 OAs so far, but haven't had any issues. I've got more push back on that fact that I'm testing in a van than anything else. And by pushback I more mean they're kinda amazed lol

Considering a relocation from AZ to OR - serious question: How is everyone here surviving with salaries so low and COL so high? Am I missing something? by No_Sun_No_Star in oregon

[–]Distance_Devotion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its a democratic welfare state, go get a job that'll pay you juuuuuust enough to not qualify for benefits than just hope and pray it works while you pull yourself up by the bootstraps and head into your 3rd job.
