No there isn't. The worst case scenario is the same whether or not the opt out exists (he sucks and you pay him the full contract).

 

Completely unrelated question but did you do well in school?

 

lol no reason to ask that question. I make more money than you ever will.

Cliff Lee has been throwing and he's received medical clearance. If he finds the right fit, he will pitch in 2016.

Taking a flier on him would make me very happy (provided it was incentive driven).

Low 80s average if you want to know so badly.

[burlingtonbandit]

That's elementary school, right?

Time to post your pay stubs, gents.

Your mom does not give me a pay stub she pays me under the table after we are done on the table.

Exactly. Grades really are useless in the real world. No employer will ever ask you what your marks were in High School/University. As long as you get good enough grades to get into what program you want to get into it really doesn't matter beyond that.

 

Even then you don't need post secondary education to be successful. As well there are tons of Univeristy grads who had great marks with s***** jobs.

I am approaching 30, unemployed, and in debt for over six figures

 

Verbal Reasoning skills are off the charts though so some day ummm something something

Yeah University is only good for debt and banging chicks. Too bad I'm only getting the debt part.

Even when Cliff Lee sucked, he still had a FIP around 3. That would be a lovely flier to take.

Most people who say university was a waste took sociology or feminist dance therapy or something.

I'd say most people who say it was a waste should have never gone as they didn't learn anything.

[burlingtonbandit]

There are lots of successful, and unsuccessful people with varying levels of education. University is only a waste if you don't use it to your advantage.

 

Of course. I never said University was bad or anything. There seems to be a lot of people who think a degree will guarantee them a good job and those are the people who are still working at the Hardware store 3 years after they graduate.

I'm slightly older and in slightly less debt. What a time to be alive.

It all depends on your plan going in, and what you do with it. I did an arts degree, which led to a 15 year - so far - full-time career.

Plans change though, people often figure out what they really want to do 3 years into a degree they hate, but entered because they were good at it.

There should be a ranked-preference matching system for careers and education coming out of high school.

 

Students rank preferences and are assigned a partial government scholarship to:

- A certain degree

- A certain apprenticeship

- A certain job (employee and employer would both be given some benefit in the form of tax credits, a wage addition, or whatever).

 

The assignment is based on:

- Job market needs (projected and present)

- Student's aptitudes

- Student's preferences

 

And students would still be free to do anything they want, they just forfeit the scholarship/subsidy if they don't accept their "Socially Recommended Workforce Training Assignment".

 

Boom.

 

Hire me, government.

This pretty much already exists except it's really difficult to figure it all out. It turns out for the most part we don't need people with university degrees so its more in technical stuff

I think we should just make robots to do everything for us. What could go wrong?

 

I have a Roomba. Scratch one thing off the list.

Took me 20 years to figure out that I hated what I did (I'm slow, 20 years is also my timeline to rebuild in the DDL...or just my timeline). Going back to school probably wasn't necessary for me to work in sport but for me personally it was, as I want to be open to everything possible. Nothing really more to add here just wanted to give you all an update of my life.
