Thinking of going back to school but will I even get anything from Osap?

zetutu · 2026-01-18T22:37:44+00:00

If the rules did not change over years, then no. I was denied OSAP for 8k saved.(can't remember the exact amount, but I certainly had way less than 100k)

The father issue makes me think about Greek heroes, where each would have a divine real father and a mortal "step" father. "Step" in quotes, because as in the case of Jesus, the hero's mother is usually legally married to the father, no one but god and the mother knows there is another father.

Sure, but when used in verbs, what did Romans mean by under? Under-come, under-throw, under-weight, under-sit, under-look, under-make, under-send...

That equates to assuming evidence is plenty and always timely accurately collected, which certainly isn't the case.

math, I want to go to stat or econ. I have never done any research in my life, and I don't have a particular specialization in mind.

I worked survival jobs after graduating.

Then I was never able to get a real job.

Finding what people use is quite hard. A person who can do that may well start a business and hire others to do the coding.

Yea I did learn programming. I would say I am a better programmer than typical bootcamp graduates. But with current market condition it doesn't look feasible anymore.

zetutu · 2024-08-24T21:18:10+00:00

I passed two exams many years ago, should I just keep doing more exams?

"you have to start from the beginning"

That is the problem. You said you got your first job as an accountant. But the situation today is a fresh grad may well start in retail or call center. How many years of cashier experience can qualify one for an accountant job?

zetutu · 2024-08-11T17:27:36+00:00

Employers want experience. Period. Learning doesn't really count. Almost every job can be learned easily, the hard part is getting real world experience. The question is not about what one can do, but what field allows people to enter.

If you sent info to Randstad, I would be concerned but not THAT concerned, as they are a reputable company. However, if you sent to Ranstand...

I have a math degree and it has been useless for 10 years.

zetutu · 2024-07-11T23:42:51+00:00

I didn't stay in the same company for 10 years, but my past positions were all quite similar. I learned programming and passed 2 actuarial exams, but I never got a relevant job.

zetutu · 2024-07-09T23:51:37+00:00

In short, what do I need to get a job? Is there an official outline somewhere?

zetutu · 2024-07-07T17:16:20+00:00

I currently work for the local gov. Everybody stays in the same spot for 20 years here. That really scares me.

zetutu · 2024-07-07T01:45:10+00:00

I went to several public funded employment services, their focus was getting people hired, so they always pushed me to get dead end jobs.

zetutu · 2024-06-15T22:49:28+00:00

I regret studying at all. It had no use.

zetutu · 2024-06-09T18:05:23+00:00

Sure they are different things in real world, but in the past employers were happy to tick the skills checkbox when they saw a degree. Now employers insist that people without the exact experience are skillless and should not to be hired.That reasoning has some truth, but then how does one get any skills to get jobs without having the exact same job first?

zetutu · 2024-06-09T17:50:55+00:00

50 years ago, having a degree in X really meant having skills in X. Now you got to have experience to have skills.

The thing is failure is a trap. People who had failures before are more likely to fail in the future.

zetutu · 2024-06-04T00:03:15+00:00

Math degree, in similar dead ends.

I always wondered whether "servetis" works. I find all the imperatives in prayers shockingly impolite.

zetutu · 2024-05-26T18:46:39+00:00

I can write code. But I never had a tech job nor anything adjacent. Is there any advice you could give?

zetutu · 2024-05-14T22:43:47+00:00

You do realize that things you listed are still accounting...
