Chubb VS Pioneer School
by Well...here's the deal. I FINALLY made the decision on what i am going to be doing for school. I applied for Chubb Institute, passed the test and im going for Tech Support. Hopefully that will get me into Network Admin stuff along with giving me a basic understanding of cicso and setting up LAN's and things like that. Buuuut, heres the problem, my opening classes start 2 days before my pioneer school END... So you see my problem. I have gotten opinions from both sides of the spectrum, as to which i should miss, a day or BOTH days of chubb, or a day or BOTH days of pioneer school, now if it was YOU what would YOU do? Has anyone been to chubb, where the first few days of chubb THAT important??

Go to pioneer school. God shall handle the rest. Put faith where it will do you the best.
Definetly go to pioneer school. when are you EVER going to get a chance to go again?
just for sake of arguement, thats true, but when am i gonna go to chubb again?
screw chubb goto pioneer school, if they got a problem i will go down there and lay the smack down oke?
Don't consider Chubb as anything else than school-that's what it is. Would you skip a day of pioneer school to go to high school? There's nothing you can't make up at Chubb, but the information and the feeling you get at pioneer school are once-in-a-lifetime. Take it from me-I skipped a day of pioneer school to help my twin brother Anthony move away to college. Do I regret it? No. I know I honesetly believed I was making the right decision at the time. I felt like if I didn't see Anthony off I'd never see him again. But now, looking back, I realize that that whole day wasn't really that important. Sometimes events seem crucial when they're occuring, but you have to step away and look at the overall picture. My conclusion: Pioneer school was more important that my brother. You need to make your own conclusion. I have complete confidence that you'll make the decision that's best for you. :)
nicely put. im impressed.
It's a hard choice to make. if you missed your brother's move, you werent gonna be spending the next few weeks-months totally confused, trying to catch up from that day; your career wasnt depending on the success of your brother's move.
First week or so is usuall bs, you't dont learn anything and if they do teach somethin and you can't catch up with it you don't belong in the computer field. IQ above 10 is required folks, mike isn't yours a 9.5? :)
that's what i thought, too. but his boss (who went there) told him that he's crazy for thinking of missing a day, but if he had to miss anything, it should be the actual classes later on, and not orientation.
But different people have different opinions about what's crucial - that was my point. Like you won't miss a class for a show, remember? Someone else might without hesitation.
very true, good point. I am pretty crazy about that stuff. (ex. I'm gonna miss the CO on the 14th cause I have my final)
not that im saying a career is more important than serving Jehovah - I'm not. I just want whatever is best for you, mike. What would make you happy?
YOU PAGAN! TSK TSK TSK!
did anyone pay attention to my first comment.. geez.. Put Jehovah first and all other things will be added to you . Go to pioneer school bucko.
no one listens to you, ty!
yea and everyone wonders why this world is so messed up... LISTEN TO ME I KNOW ALL
i think i agree with everything that's been said. go to pioneer school, you won't be able to go to that again, you can make up the stuff you miss at chubb, chances are the first 2 days wont be anything really important anyway. Just get in contact with your teachers and explain to them that you have something that you cannot miss that will keep you from the first 2 days of classes. or you can lie. say you got turned into a newt.
thats true.. no.. i agree with everything that everyone has been saying.. ive never been to school before.. and im just afraid of messing up and being too far behind in chubb, but then again, i dont wanna miss any pioneer school at all.. i was thinking maybe contacting the teachers and seeing if i can meet with them so they can give me orientation then and my laptop and whatnot at that time. Maybe i can set that up a few days before i leave for pioneer school? whatcha think?
contact them as soon as you can, if you email them a few months in advance they will take alot more serious than if you call the day before classes start.
you get a laptop!??
oh yea dude... you get ur own laptop and EVERYTHING!!!!!
Whenever i miss school i always freak out like a nitwit and have a nervous breakdown because i feel like i will never catch up and i start thinking i'm gonna fail everything. but in reality, everything is back to normal in a week or so and i freaked out for nothing.
IT's like your first day of school- every year, you feel like you will never get used to the new schedule and you're so confused, but then you feel totally comfortable in about a week. Actually that didn't relate at all but neither does mike. HAHAHA just kidding bud. GO TO PIONEER SCHOOL!!!!!!
and when they look at you funny, state with conviction and a british accent: "I got better!"
haha, matt left that one wide open for you to pimp your favorite line from that movie. nice.
hahaha... i wanted dean to get that one :)
games are so much fun don't you think
Well... if all that was riding on this was just me and my life... i would go to pioneer school, but thats not the case, i have alot more to worry about. And, you obviously didnt read the story completly, i AM going to pioneer school, IF, and i say IF, i was going to miss ANYTHING from pioneer school, it would be part of ONE day. And everyone that i have talked to has had no trouble FINDING a job outta chubb, its the getting through chubb is the problem they seem to have.
I'm sorry mike. I'm sorry I made things more complicated.
that was kinda harsh dude, try ENCOURAGING...not slamming! geez!
Been perusing the site and stumbled on your comment... you are so right... there is nothing to compare to pioneer school! I went this past Aug/Sept and I don't know how I got this far in the truth without pioneer school. If you or anyone else can make room to pioneer, even if just for a year, DO IT... if only to get to the school!!!!
Mike you deffinitly should go to pioneer shool. like ty said, put jehovah first and the rest will be added to you. If you have the opportunity go now!
Although people are giving you all this advice, mike, it is ultimately your decision. Whatever you decide to do will obviously be after a lot of thinking and heartfelt prayer - so we have no place to criticise whatever you decide. Just remember to "throw ALL your burdens" on Jehovah. He is there to help you so let him.
so wrong ! it's not his decision. it's ultimately my decision. and i say " PIONEER SCHOOL "
hahahaha! everything is ty's ultimate decision!
actually ive decided to be tina's stalker.. ill do that full time.... tahts my final decision!
hahaha NICE! i have a STALKER!
I KNOW what you did last summer!
oh you do do you?
yup... and you are in some SERIOUS trouble missy!
hahahaha oh boooooooooooooy....just dont tell YOU KNOW WHO!
too late.. THEY ALREADY KNOW!!!
YOU TOLD!!! why you little....
i wish i could make every sentence as cool as that one.
tina really does have sucha way with words....
i see how it is now.
hahahahahaha bad mikey!
pre "mike and katie" that was our biggest joke. I walked into the assembly and he said "ugh, what are you stalking me?!!" it was dumb, but it stuck.
but NOOOOOOOW he's stalking tina. *sigh* such a love triangle. lol
I think Mike was your...5th stalker, right?
oh yeah, that's right something like that......chris, john r., oh forget it, i lost track....
psshhh forget YOU then!
aww, poor mikey. what's the matter; need a tissue?
nope.." I should have changed that stupid lock, i should have taken away your key, if i thought for just one second, youd be back to bother me ooooooh, no go... walk out the door..... "
its already been covered but id have to say Pioneer School. Im goin to this summer and i wouldnt miss if for anything in the world! Going to school isnt bringin u any spiritual gain and thats wat comes first in our lives right? Jehovah will bless you for puttin him first....maybe he will get u a job for it!!!
yeah sometimes there are experiences when people did the right thing and then other witnesses heard and made job positions to help their brother out.
