Rutgers Idk about there courses but i live like 40 mins from Rutgers, and 25-30 minutes to Central Jersey Beach: Belmar, Manasquan, Longbranch(where i m usually at)
Hhaha.. I worked for Spencer's Headquarters and I was under DSL Support. Those days were good, just hang out configuring routers and setting them up with GMS settings and assisting all the Spencer stores in the malls. Glad to see this thread so long... enjoyed reading everyone's post. My boss's are cool but I just started about 2 months ago so I have to give it some time before I start asking for favors.
im a penniless bum that mooches off everyone i know. i surf whenever i want to surf i graduated biz school a few months ago and cant seem to give up my current life-stlye.
Yea i need some ideas too im a political science/philosophy double major and i don't know what to do with either degree. If i get ambitious and my grades stay the way they are i kinda wanna get into a really good law school but not sure if thats the way i wanna go. It kinda contradicts my inner surf bum
Graduated in May with an English major/journalism minor. Spent most of summer traveling around Europe and the Middle East, and now I'm back in NJ completely broke, unemployed, and living at home. I guess my full-time job is looking for a job.
Yeah, I put it off for much of my 20s until i met my wife. I found out quickly that most women don't want to take care of a surf bum. Now I'm a consultant for surgical software which has tons of flexibility so I get to surf almost when I want to.
That is awesome! I wish I had it like that... Like I said, having a decent job has its perks and has its downfalls. I mean, I did just buy a 2006 Subaru WRX STI!!!
Cool thread. I work for a publisher in NYC but consider the OCNJ breaks my home since I have a place there, essentially grew up there - so I hit it on the weekends mostly - though I've been known to hit it during the week if it is warm and good. I surf year round with the exception of the dark, dead of winter (sooo depressing)... I haven't actually surfed much in NY or Northern NJ but want branch out for late fall/early winter DP's and weekend sessions in LI or Sandy Hook, NJ to cut down on travel time. If there are an NYC dawn patrol crews lurking on these boards send me a note.
Best thing you can do, instead of going to surf one weekend, take a trip along the breaks of Long Island, or the coast of NJ. You'll find what breaks are firing on that swell and gauge accordingly. I know in Monmouth County, there are enough breaks that will fire... when its almost any swell with a good size to it.
I'm a full time student now and I also work at BestBuy (which is a horrible corporation who only wants to take your money) and during the summer I work at K-Coast. I also try and do photography on the side, but you really don't make to much with that.
This made me laugh. How many of those stupid bestbuy insurance plans are you forced to sell? haha. Don't worry, once you get out of school you'll work for a company that will want money from tax payers (gov't contractors), shmucks (attorney office, car dealerships), insurance companies (hospitals, gas stations), yourself and your community (teachers, police, etc.). gotta love economics....
Dude you have no idea... It kills me on the inside having to sell all these BS services to customers who know nothing about computers. We have to hit certain numbers and stuff or they come over and sit you down and tell you have your hurting the company as a whole and blah blah blah. Using scare tactics and pressuring people to close a sale which we don't even make commission on is just not a fun time for either party involved. I'm going to school for business admin. and I hope in my career I don't work for a company like that.
Lead Anchor, Channel 4 news... Had to say it, Graduated from college and made an attempt at being a teacher for 2years with no luck, then moved and started running a lacrosse store in PA. Dont have to open til noon so you will catch me in for dawn patrol atleast one day a week through the winters...
Finishing up my last year of school and will get commissioned as an officer in the Marines in May. With major bases in S.NC and CA my surf prospects look decent. On the other hand, I hear the surf in Iraq isnt all that great......
sales engineer for a networking company. i get to work from home when i'm not with clients so if there are waves during the week i can usually swing a DP.
Currently the Director of Planning and Zoning for a small town near the beach. Always lived and worked within 20 minutes of surf. After work, sometimes before, every weekend year 'round. No other hobbies to interfere with surfing. Pick your favorite thing to do and dedicate your spare time to enjoying it all you can. Some people have too many interests and never get to fully enjoy any of them. I am, however, expecting a major change of career once this Publishers Clearing House thing works out for me!
recent grad Just graduated with a degree in finance. Just in time for financial markets to implode. On the plus side I have all the time I want to go surfing. Live it up while ya can
