@MartinSojka Yeah, I'm pretty sure that isn't the same in the Netherlands though, which is where I meant by "here". I'm pretty sure almost all the households in the rural area where I grew up in NY had working firearms.
The achievement "Knight in White Assassination" requires that you've:
Assassinated a Knight in any Spartan Ops mission.
Knights are not really known for standing still with their backs turned - what's the easiest way to get this achievement?
@OrigamiRobot That sounds like my dad. He started in college studying to be an electrical engineer, and he had to take a computer science course. He'd never even seen one before, and now he's the smartest computer nerd ever.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I feel like I'm wasting my time studying for specialty skills...
I had a motor which turned a gear, which pushed a rod forward, which pushed the technic piece out of its hole, and when it does that the piece pops out with pretty good force
But the thing is that mostly, all you really need is to be able to communicate and write and research and stay organized. Beyond that, you'll pick up the skills you need as you need them.
@LessPop_MoreFizz I just break up jobs into two loosely defined areas: commodity jobs (anyone can do it, i.e. flipping burgers, stocking shelves) and specialist jobs
Writing a press release isn't that different from writing a letter, isn't that different from writing a paper for school, once you learn the quirks of the format.
There are definitely highly specialized skilled trades that require some amount of specialized training and liscenses or certifications, like being an auto mechanic, or lots of IT or tech jobs, or medicine or law.
But most jobs just require that you be able to read and write and speak and think. You can learn the rest on the job pretty quickly.
@badp You know, I've thought about writing or something, but it's a little tricky to start out at that shit. Plus, my writing isn't actually that good, as much as I like to tell myself it is.
@SaintWacko That was my senior design project. I'm holding the camera. We had to build a lunar excavator robot for a NASA competition. We did bad, but not the worst.
The degree isn't really about what you learned in history class, it's about proving that you can read and write and think at a high enough cognitive level to actually get the thing.
@GnomeSlice Interactive media is all about communication. Which is the number one skill you'll need in any non-technical job. (And lots of technical ones too.)
