It just took 24 minutes to go from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 on my new Dell laptop. At 12:03 it made the upgrade available. All my files and settings are intact. It was painless. I may not even bother with a clean install.

Dell Inspiron 5548
i5 5200U
8GB DDR3L 1600
Radeon R7 480GB SSD

Even the SSD manager is still there. That was awesome.

Is there a performance Difference?

Yeah, it's basically impossible to do without the military. I would just pick a "normal" career path. Be an aerospace engineer and get a job working with a company that designs planes. Boom still get to mess with planes but have a real shot and getting good work and a good salary.

Can't tell yet. It was crazy fast with the SSD anyway. Even my Steam install and games are still there. Color me impressed.

d34th - What do you want to do?

Either Cal Poly Pomona or UCR with a Degree in Information Assurance, which is both Cyber Secuirty(passion) and Business(Well, I was going for Business as a back up both ways)

You have college lined up? Are you sure you will get in where you want to go?

I meant that what I want to go too. But I have talked with the professors at both of the colleges, I meet all of the requirements, and I have some extras that should ease applications.

Im so stressed now...I KNOW I like aviation and Id love to fly...I just feel like WITH MY STYLE OF LIFE, I want things and I like to make money...so, i dont know.

 

[tiny voices]

Cyber Security is cool. My GF's Dad is the head of the ENTIRE Cyber Security department at NSA.

Then do what I suggested. You will then be able to make enough money to get your pilots license and fly privately AND you get to work in the aviation industry.

Huh.. I've met a NSA director... Maybe I should try to remember his name(it was so forgettable... must be a part of the application )
I know from a few people that with this career, most are hired before the end of thier 4th year... There are some pretty cool connections... NSA, Raytheon, Boeing, Northrup Grumman... etc

I posted it earlier.

 

[Mirakledba]

Dunno. Not interested in aerospace engineering.

I carried different binders for the subjects I took while in high school. Generally math, science, language/history, and electives. On the cover of each binder would be the a calendar for the class. I found carrying binders with me convenient because I would have the class material with me on the go at all times. I stayed behind in school many days of the week and would end up with extra time to study. I also used a large backpack which could fit everything I wanted and more. Water bottle, laptop, textbook(s), stationary, etc.

In the end it all depends on what works for you. Just make sure to find some way to organize yourself. And do not procrastinate.

 

[Pcbuilder123]

^Yep, my grades exponentially got better after organizing my schedule and knowing what to do, where it was, and when to do it. The difference was crazy once I started dropping my old habits and picking up better ones

Any particular reason? Besides flying, what realistic career paths have you considered?

 

[MrRockyboxer]

Man....that S10 from Antec is such a beauty. But that price point......

 

[Mirakledba]

Thanks Bossy. I loved that.

Tiny - Dunno...still on flying, dunno anything else. Im applying for jobs now....my dad wants me to apply to places like IN N OUT burger and stuff....Gonna be hard while doing school But I can do it. And im going to pick Weights because I wont be able to deal with work and baseball at the same time.

 

[tiny voices]

Sounds like good choices to me. I would go for places like Walmart/Target/retail stores over fast food. Much less miserable.

 

[Mirakledba]

Yes, but In N Out burger....no miserable at all...They starting pay is 11$ and its a very clean and high quality environment with fresh food.

 

[tiny voices]

Damn $11 is great for a first job. Do that.
