I feel like this is the real "problem". University is overrated in the sense that there are so many people applying for jobs that they are not qualified for, because it is easy on the internet. Employers adapt by asking for unnecessary qualifications like a University degree and experience in x y and z as a way cut down on the number of applicants regardless of whether or not those are actual requirements for the job. It is gross that students are expected to bear the debt of unspecific training via education when the grunt of that expense used to be carried by the employer. When I first went to school, I thought it was to get a job and have a career, so I went to a college. But then I realized that is gross, I love school, I want to learn for the sake of learning, not to profit a big corporate employer like I was being trained to do, so I went to a university to study in the same field. I came out the other end much more skilled and with more of a narrow focus than when I started, but not in a way that is meant to be appealing to employers. I also came out a lot more socially conscious, open minded and politically engaged. Universities do provide great networking opportunities and support for starting out in a career, but it's up to the student to take them. Too many students start their education believing the piece of paper is the outcome, and forget to take advantage of the opportunities that are available to them outside the curriculum. University also isn't for everyone, I am all for pushing people to take on a trade if that's more suited to their personality and desired lifestyle. I have family members who are tradesmen and make more money than I ever will, though I do worry about the toll it will take on their bodies and the physical danger they are exposed to in their work. In all, I think universities are "overrated" in the sense that people have unrealistic expectations in terms of what the result of that kind of education should be, and I think many high school graduates are being guided in the wrong direction in the name of profit for institutions, and there are many alternatives that are far more suitable for different individuals. But a university education definitely still has a great deal of value.

Happy post-love day everyone!! Who here is hungover from chocolate and snuggles? *raises hand* Why not try a hair of the dog? Naughty Natalie here, an ultra tiny and ultra fun young woman who loves music, reading, eating tacos and balancing upside down in nothing but a smile. But enough about me, what about you? What do you hope to get out of our time together? What's your favourite way to spend a snow day? What is your least favourite Beatles song? I like to know these type of things as I feel an emotional connection is imperative to a satisfying physical connection. So if you're ready to sneak away from work for an hour only to come back with a smile so huge your coworkers will *know* you weren't at the dentist, feel free to send me an e-mail [email protected] I work weekdays between 9am-2pm and I am currently taking appointments for tomorrow (Tuesday) and Wednesday. 5ft, bright red hair, green eyes, 100lbs and a rockin' butt. 250/hour.

Life is funny at best. Some of us plan things - education, courting, marriage, kids, mortgage, career.. and then, ahh.. retirement. We work and work to provide for ourselves and family. Most of us plan to retire from work and start striking off bucket list items (travel, hobbies, etc). For many of us, life doesn't turn out as we "planned". Far from a straight line, our tapestry ends up looking like a figure-8. Then there is the old "live life to the fullest everyday" motto - again, for some of us, we're just trying to survive the day and start new the next day. There's the conundrum. Youth brings with it the health required for travel and other hobbies, but little in resources to execute. Age brings knowledge and wisdom (maybe) and perhaps more resources, but then our health begins to decline. At 47, I was forced into retirement (cutbacks from a previous federal government). But I was fortunate - still fairly healthy and had a few coins in the pocket.. no pension, but a few loonies in my RRSP. As with many things, I saw a silver lining. I get to sleep in until 7am on most days, I get to set my own schedule on most days. I volunteer with various organizations, so my mind and body are active. And the roof is still overhead and there's a table to put food on. While I can't afford to dine at Beckta every night, I can indulge in Swiss Chalet now and then.. and I go canoeing on the Ottawa River instead of taking cruises on the Mediterranean :-) I think the notion of "freedom 55" is outdated in 2016. But our western society depends on "older" folks to retire so that employable youth get a chance to start their adventures. Is it a social duty - yes, I think so - but 'mandatory' retirement by a certain age is becoming a dream for too many honest, hard-working folks. I'll be "retired" for three years next month. If I am careful with the finances, I should be ok. Fewer Starbucks lattés and more homemade coffee in a travel mug! Perhaps the "live life to the fullest" has more to do with attitude than the activity... CM

Happy birthday Cato. I hope you have a great day.

I will follow up with a few thoughts about retirement. Canada Pension should only be regarded as very basic income so it is really incumbent for people to save additionally if they want to have a comfortable retirement, and yes there are many retirees who find it necessary to soldier on into old age by necessity. The present government is running into head winds trying to update the pension plan, by conservative thinking that catheterize this as a payroll tax, go figure. We live in a society that must be regulated by our chosen representatives, and how we direct policy on labour and retirement laws is fair. With better care we are living longer, but many of our youth are under employed or unemployed so we must encourage policies that rectify this problem, they are indeed the future. This new generation and immigrants will inevitably have to shoulder the responsibility for an aging population.

I have seen in a Dollarama and a McDonald's employees who were in their mid 70ies. I really don't know what to think about this because I did this kind of job in my 20ies when I was a student, and these are certainly not the best jobs to get. I felt bad to see people in their mid 70ies working there but at the same time if they do need the money, what choice do they have? But still, I find it very disturbing and sad that some people in their mid 70ies have to work in such places because their pension is not enough.

I am wondering if you are able to tell that they are newbies and possibly have little experience, or maybe no board handle, or if they sound like they know what they are doing but are being secretive and evasive and that's why they refuse to give it. I find there's those 2 types, those with no real handle to give, or if they have one they don't post and it tells you nothing about them and is kind of useless as a screening method. And the other type is the well seasoned hobbyist who takes reviewing and his anonymous freedoms very seriously online, and either thinks if he tells you his handle you will be able to tell other ladies, or you will know when he reviews you and say something if you don't like his critique or if something was untrue. It's kind of weird, most guys don't trash ladies in reviews or do anything in session to warrant warning others, but there's a few who are overly paranoid about their online persona and freedoms, and others that really do have bad behaviour online to hide that won't make them the most desirable client to you.

Sweet Emily J is the perfect answer to this question. Close to Westboro, very sensual and I am certain she will take the time to ensure you are comfortable. The only disappointment I had was I didn't go see her sooner.

There are a myriad of things to learn, experience and enjoy at University and lots of unanticipated learning too. The only loss I suffered in going to University was my virginity! Of course I'm not interested in getting it back.

This is not even a remotely accurate statement.

Well, I took the plunge with this 40-something MIL* (Note: she doesn't provide the F part :lol:). (The $#@%^& censorship robot had to be circumvented). She provided me with a very detailed message describing her services, and I booked her for the most basic offering, just in case. I needn't have worried. She proved to be very friendly and highly skilled at her craft. I thoroughly enjoyed the build-up and the finale, which left me very happy. I will definitely repeat. Please note that she operates a legit studio in a multi-business building on a busy street a little outside of downtown, and she does not wish any info posted that could possibly identify her. Please be very circumspect on the public board, and very careful when sharing her info in private. I normally provide as much public detail as discretion allows, but in this case, I will err on the side of caution. I will not share details via PM either. There's no need for me to describe the session, since C provides all the info you need to know to book her, and she will deliver. Start by PMing her, and go from there. I'm sure you'll be happy you did.

Happy Birthday Cato! Hope you spend time with a hot redhead with great buns!

Well I don't often post on these happy birthday threads but for my virtual friend Cato I must: he gives me an un-birthday gift almost every day! Whether it be a lovely redhead photo, fripples, cut-offs, bums, abs, burning hotness, alluring eyes, boobies and sometimes most of these combined!!! Cato: your generosity, respectful banter, excellent recos, positivity and welcoming approach make lyla/cerb the strength that it is. I owe you way more than a beer and to sponsor a few dances for you at Barbs! All the best on your special day!

I would assume that the $5 fee is charged to the dancer, and the dancer passes it on to the customer?

Happy Birthday Cato! Enjoy your very special day!

All I can say is money......well.......spent. They were both very accommodating and we had a few laughs. Would definitely see them again and recommend them. Watching the two of then work their magic was terrific. Also, Cleo has the nicest set of &$)@ I may have seen in my entire life. Two enthusiastic thumbs way up. The duo is worth it.

In many city's including where I live here in St. John's for the last few years there has been a shortage of individuals willing to work at entry level service jobs and this has resulted in companies like MacDonald's importing workers from other countries. Please don't take my saying this as a negative towards immigrant workers as let's face it we are all immigrants it's really just a question of timing. The Canadian labour market has been short on high skilled employees and many of the entry level service jobs are not seen as acceptable anymore to everyday canadians. In my opinion the reality in Canada will be that we will need to encourage many older workers to stay in the job market or we will need to be way more open to immigration. Bottom line for me is people should choose when they want to retire not governments. Just my Opinion

What a great topic. Mark Twain once wrote, "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." Indeed, education and schooling are two different things, but they do paths cross on occasion. An engineer by trade, university was a requirement for me. But learning the four laws of thermodynamics did nothing for me when it came to changing a soiled diaper, or putting my daughter's hair in a bun for her ballet classes, or making homemade soup. My daughter just started on her post-secondary education adventure. We had long discussions on whether university or college or a vocational institution was "best" for her. Academically strong, my daughter also has a passion for the arts (ballet, piano, drawing). In the end, she decided on college - which I supported wholeheartedly. She's following a passion in a field that requires strong math and science, while encourages imagination and artistic values. I on the other hand, stuck with something I was good at, not necessarily what I had a passion for. Our society is made up of many individuals with different tastes, different strengths, different comfort zones. Risk takers often do best running their own business, whereas those who need structure tend to do better in a "9 to 5" type of job. In the end, most of us find our comfort zone... and formal schooling and "school of life" are pieces of the puzzle to finding that happy place. A university education may not guarantee you a job/career at the end. But the continuous education from the "school of life" will help prepare you for most situations as we continue our journeys on this planet... CM

With -30 in Ottawa on this Valentine's Day, a little bit of bikinis is required...

Universities will never become irrelevant . There will always be careers that will demand higher forms of education . In a lot of these courses there are exercises in critical thinking , a skill people like to think they have but , not many do not . Of my friends and family that gone the university route , very few have ended up working in a field that they had chosen to get an education in . The bulk of them made contacts throughout their years of university and have used those connections to find careers . I , as a tradesman , we are allowed to go on employment insurance for our time at college . Rules have changed a little since my time , now you must pay and to collect ei you must have earned the appropiate amount of hours worked . I never think of the debt of school because as a native family fortunately my siblings were accepted by our home band to have thier educations paid for by Indian status . Insurance ! You wanna study , take courses that will help you get into the insurance field . You need insurance for everything and more these days . If you are great at math ( and I mean GREAT at math ) become an actuary , these are the people that handle the money , make sure there enough to payout the claims , that they don't like to do .

Hello my sexy friends! I am available to spend this wonderful day with you! ~Romance is in the air ~ X0X0 Please call or text please to book a session 506-588-0397

I think we have to leave the jobs for our youth, they after all will be supporting us through our retirement. The problem as I see it is where are the jobs going to come from in the future as tech is starting to make so many jobs redundant. I went into a Mac Donalds the other day and low and behold they had installed a terminal. I had to order and pay there and then pick up my meal. Talking to the counter person she indicated that they very loosing staff and cutting hours. This was where my son and many other kids got their first job. As another example cabbies are loosing fares to Uber. In 15 to 20 years Uber drivers will complaining about loosing theirs to driverless cars. It is the responsibility of our policy makes forsee and to educate the workers of tomorrow and then put road blocks in the way of those who persist in hogging the jobs past a certain age.

Visited this beautiful gem today. All I can say is wow!!! Almost fell down when leaving. Perfect massage, perfect ending. Very honest down to earth woman.

I normally take it as a red flag too. Some clients seem to think that girls will go behind their back and give them a needlessly bad review or recommendation, this is untrue. A strong majority of us prioritize safety over everything else. As for gossip, you have to do something pretty terrible like physically hurt the SP, rip off a condom, breach consent and limitations, or be very verbally abusive. There just doesn't seem much reason to do so, but I wanted to be fair and ask, just in case.

I was the same in my newbie days. I thought seeing escorts was about anonymous encounters. When I booked a date with a lady who required full verification/screening, I gave my name to her...it was like, OMG she knows who I am. It felt like Batman unmasked and known as Bruce Wayne LOL. But I've learned especially from this board about screening/verification and it is a normal part for many ladies of booking dates and seeing companions RG

The level of trust I would put in such a procedure can be described in two words: Ashley Madison. So the answer is NO, I wouldn't do it.

yes she is easy going. she has a bubbly personality. its easy to talk to her about anything at all, and she enjoys her work. she doesn't fake it

I have seen her, and I had a very good experience. Not a clock watcher, gave a few free extras. She also provided personal recommendations Additional Comments: There are a lot of good reviews on her, plus she provides personal recommendations.

Saw another thread that discussed same... Apparently quite good, however make sure to include breath taking Vivian in your research. Highly recommended.
