What does that even mean? It's necessary sure, it can also be a smart strategy, but honorable? You don't owe them anything and staying for 'honor' is foolish imo.
- ceejayoz 12y agoI took it as "you shouldn't consider it a personal failure to be temporarily doing crap work just to pay the bills".
- bstar77 12y agoI think if you need to work at McDonalds to avoid calling mom and dad for money, then that's honorable. The easy unsustainable way out is not usually the best. I've been there.
- neumann 12y agoDepends on your relationship with your parents. If your parents are supportive and you are looking for a CS degree, only work at McDonalds if you feel like a life experience - probably not a bad idea. If you have opportunity to get a zero interest loan from your parents or free bedroom with no external judgement (ie, supportive parents), that is a far better standpoint to spend your days working full-time at getting a job in your field.
- bstar77 12y agoDefinitely (I'd be hypocritical to say I didn't take advantage of that myself), but when I hit 25 those zero interest loans weren't there anymore.
