what to do

[WayFast84]

Its your senior year. You played a sport for 2 years and want to play it again, You work the hours that practice will be and you cant really stand your teammates. Last years season Blew but you have 2 great players coming in and 1 coming back from last years injury..

[Knipps]

**** the sports. the drama worth the adrenaline?

[LTb1ow]

Watch from the sidelines?

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Shouldn't 2 and 3 be merged? More or less the same idea. No hockey, just work.

[madness410]

listen man, this happened to me too my senior year, i played soccer for 3 years and quit my senior year because i wanted to put money into my car...

DONT DO THAT.

i regret that i did that, every time i think of it i feel like im a quitter and i never do quit. listen, money comes and goes, and your car will always be there for you when you do have money down the road. if you have empty pockets i think its a lot better than feeling like you are a quitter...just my .02, but the best advice i can tell you is to do what makes you happy

[Fast92RS]

Well whats more important to you or which one do you enjoy more? The Car or Hockey?

[mc73nova]

Can you make a career out of it? Are you that good? If so keep playing.

If you are playing for fun, concentrate on your future, save some cash. You can always play next year, there are plenty of adult leagues you can enter.

It's hard for me to tell you not to put every penny into your car but I'm gonna say it. By all means spend money to work on your car if it is something you love doing, but make sure you have money in the bank for the important things in life. I could have a house with all the money I have spent on previous vehicles (that is in no way an exaggeration)

One thing I have noticed from being around car shows and races is that there are much more older people than young people. They have put in there time worked hard and are rewarding themselves. As long as you stick to one car and make a goal for your project, you will be able to do it more comfortably.

[WayFast84]

Those yobs can be hard to find nowadays..... :rofl:

[sweetbmxrider]

You have to make a post in every ****ing thread on this site dont you?

thats good stuff but showing that you can handle a heavy load will only be in your favor.

oh and i post in every thread! :-P

[edpontiac91]

After school you WILL BE WORKING FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! Enjoy your youth and have fun NOW. You will always look back later on, as this WAS the BEST time of your life! :orlyflag:

[BigAls87Z28]

I dont understand the problem
I played football for 4 years. Letterd 3 of the 4 years. You dont play 24/7/365, you play one season. The rest of the time you work. Whats so hard?
Why cant you just do both? Stop worrying about cars, you obvious cannot do that right now. Just get your car running to where you can be happy and stop. You dont need to be king **** in the high school parking lot. You arent gunna get laid becaues of it, and you sure as hell aint gunna get anything out of it right now.

Play the damn sport, have fun, work in the off season, make moeny, save up, then get something later on downt he road. Stop having ADD when it comes to trivial bs "life problems."

I played 2 years, Lettered both.. Its more of How hard it is to get hired now a days. It took me 8 months to get a ****in job...

[LTb1ow]

But your in high school, why do you need a job so badly?

[sweetbmxrider]

you could always part out your car for cash

[LTb1ow]

But he needs to cash to pay for his car..... hmmm

[WildBillyT]

I voted for hockey. If I remember correctly, you are trying to "change your body composition" and that is certainly worth something.

"You won't need as much money for the car if you don't mess with that which is not broke."

[Frosty]

You bitch about $$ and not having the funds to fix your car...unless that was last week's drama filled dilemma...

I regret not finishing my sports, I was too busy working...I got my first job at 15. Now that I'm 28 and my muscular dystrophy has progressed I'll never play a sport again and it sucks....I'm definitely filled with regret.

Part of me recommends you have your fun, play hockey(my favorite sport too). However when you have bills to pay and you're complaining about it taking 8 months for you to get a job is not having $$ worth playing hockey? That's the question only YOU can answer. All of us can tell you what to do(not like you've ever listened in the past lol) but ultimately it's your decision and only you know what sacrifice is right for you.

[qwikz28]

i would never, ever, let other people stop me from doing something i enjoy. i don't care if they annoy me or anything, i do what i want.

[Frosty]

Go Jake, you rebel! :D

[JL8Jeff]

Play hockey! Don't worry about the money or job yet, you're still in high school. You will regret not playing. I changed sports my junior year because the coach didn't like me even though I was a top performer. I loved every minute of the sport I changed to so I have no regrets. But don't bail out on sports for $$ and work unless your family is in a tough spot. You can probably find another job but you should make sure you concentrate on school first.

[Blacdout96]

I played hockey up to my Junior year. won two championships, and then retired. I miss hockey, i was in the best shape of my life, and if I try to get back out on that ice, im huffing and puffing by the first 2 minutes. Id say you got time to be a big boy, and have a job, but unless your paying bills, or rent or something, save up your money, and enjoy life right now. I thought the after party was gonna be better, but I miss school to be honest.....not the homework, **** that, but I miss my friends and ****, and you will too, so enjoy the memories.

[Mike]

whatever occupies so much time you cant port your own heads

[qwikz28]

Go Jake, you rebel! :D

:w00t: thats me!

I always seem to heat up a bag of Orville Redenbacher's popcorn when I see a wayfast thread :lol:

[NJSPEEDER]

You are the only one that can decide which is the greater priority in your life.

[CHRIS67]

You only go thought high school once. Make the most of it. There is going to be plenty of time to make money and to fix up cars once you're done with school. :nod:

Besides winning hockey games gets more girls than flipping burgers. :lol:

[BonzoHansen]

Eh, don’t be in a rush to grow up…soon enough you’ll join the rest of us who wish they never did…:)

[WayFast84]

I handed in the money for my ice slots...

I need to get another yob ASAP.

[SteveR]

Not really planning on college at first, Looking to go military and getting a degree durring my 20 year stint so I can retire as an officer?

It doesnt exactly work that way. If you enlist and plan on getting a degree and becoming an officer, once you have your degree, there's a rather extensive selection process you have to go through to get accepted to OTS. You're not the first person to think of that so dont count on it as a definite.

[LTb1ow]

Go to a military college if you wanna be a 1st LT.

[ar0ck]

Go to a military college if you wanna be a 1st LT.

Even if you go to Military College you won't come out as a 1st LT. Everyone starts at the bottom of the officer rank list as a Second Lieutenant or Ensign (navy/coast guard). And to become a Second Lieutenant you need a Bachelors degree and pass a LOT of interviews, testsing, and paper work.

[LTb1ow]

Yea oops, thats what I meant. And interviews? You just need to graduate, pick your service and go.

[ar0ck]

Yea oops, thats what I meant. And interviews? You just need to graduate, pick your service and go.

I wish it was that easy, because it really isn't!

[LTb1ow]

Are you talking ROTC here? Or like an actual military academy?

[badzracing]

Don't put every penny into your car...Life comes at you a whole lot faster than you think. Enjoy your car, but save some money. I wish someone would have given me this advice years ago.

[ar0ck]

Are you talking ROTC here? Or like an actual military academy?

Theirs multiple routes to become an Officer in the military but in the end you still have to go to OCS/OTS & you still need to go through the same processing.

[Lt1_8U]

well if your good continue playing but having played hockey for awhile i really cnt see someone with your stature being that good, the sheer mechanics of it are mindboggeling!

but hey if you like it keep doing it because it will be over in a minute..there are also adult leagues u can play in after HS too..

[79CamaroDiva]

x2

and i'm glad you decided to play hockey. i played softball for 9 years before I stopped playing Sr. year and regret it a lot. I quit because of team politics, and it made it impossible for me to play in college, which I really wanted to do. The yobs for high schoolers are out there. they may not have muhc glory, but there's always jobs.

[WayFast84]

Yeah, I was just talking about going to college while im in the service. and then goingt through OCS and all that jazz.

this was from my marine recruiter but maybe its different in other branches, but I heard that if the marines see you fit to be an officer youll become an officer and if they dont you wont... Not really as picky as you guys make it out to be, but then again, i shouldnt listen to the recruiter.

BTW i just got 4 yob applications

[1QWIKBIRD]

Play hockey. I played in H.S. and I sucked, but it was still good. I have nothing but great memories from it. I played pick up games in college and played in adult leagues up until a few years ago, improving the whole time. High school hockey is probably the last opportunity you'll have to play full-check/contact hockey. Most men's leagues are non-contact for obvious reasons. Go for it, you won't regret it. The job you have now is replaceable, but you'll never be a junior or senior in HS again.....

Do it......and do it with passion. Don't be half-@$$ed about it.....

[sweetbmxrider]

good. and recruiters tell you things that you want to hear, just to get you in uniform :wink:

[ar0ck]

If you join the service then decide to become an officer you will be an NCO, non commissioned officer in the Marines. You have to apply through your company commander and I think you have to serve a minimum of 2 years before you can apply for NCO school You won't fly as high as commissioned.

[LTb1ow]

NCOs are cooler though and in reality run things. But you won't make as much.

[jims69camaro]

oh, and then when he pops out of OCS and he's a louie, he won't have the respect of the men because he was a "college boy"... blah blah blah

finish school, then go to OCS. not the other way around. once you have the degree, the armed services pay for it - and you'll get a paygrade you can live with, as well.

[NastyEllEssWon]

i got hurt playing football in my junior year. didnt want to risk blowing my knee again playing senior year. i wish i risked it. i still have knee problems but no memory of my senior year of highschool ball.




MAKE MEMORIES....NOT MONEY

:stupid: except for me it was wrestling, lettered all 4 years... oh well i guess band kinda counted in the fall so that speaks for 2 of 3 seasons...


I say stick with hockey, but you don't necessarily have to quit your job for it... stop thinking in terms of quitting, think in terms of doing. I voted for the first option tho since its the only one that kept hockey.

[shane27]

**** bitches play hockey

[Jersyboyy]

I played sports all 4 years of high school and worked all 4 years fulltime my senior year too. Buckle down and do all three!!

[WayFast84]

My yob is 3-6 monday - friday. Practice is usually 3-5 off ice..

My yob is latch key, and its the only hours its open, so I cant change hours...

[Jersyboyy]

Change jobs son! your in highschool ur job doesnt mean ***** in this world to anyone but you, find one with better hours screw it you know. Apply anywhere thatll hire you, supermarkets local parts stores go in fill out an app ask for the manager try to show them your a strong candidate for them to hire and call back at the end of the week to follow up and see what happens. Then make sure you give them YOUR availability, if you end up working 10-15 hours a week and get to play hockey WOOT! Its still some cash in your pocket.

[TheBandit]

This is what i did. Quit playing basketball after my freshman year, didn't get a job, drank with my friends a lot and had an awesome time. Do you really need a pole on the interwebs to tell you what to do with your life?

[jims69camaro]
