    Down here, Meteorology and Physics are both majors hosted by the School of Physics from the Faculty of Science (it works like that here, the University is divided into Faculties, each faculty has 1 or more schools, each schools hosts the careers or majors, and classes for other careers that need them).
    If you are doing physics, you have to take 6 optional classes from a list of like 20 available, and if you select carefully those 6, you end up 1 class away from a major in Meteorology (and the same applies for the meteorologists). So is funny, they call it the 2x1 career combo. Not that you would get a job here thanks to those 2 particularly unemployed careers, but hey, you know, teaching physics at high school pays apparently (that't what about 70% of my class mates are doing now). I never graduated anyway, decided that having a family and a good paid job was better for me.
    I started doing call center stuff at 18, first working as Customer Service for BetOnSports.com Have you guys heard about all the phone gambling business that was done abroad by Americans and how it took years for the IRS to pursue them? Well, about half of them had their Customer Service here and it gave employment to THOUSAND of young university guys who spoke good english and knew how to use a computer here.
    I worked on BetOnSports for about 1 year, then another year in a different sportsbook, and then another. Attrition is high, but they used to pay well. When I was 21 I stopped working in those places and moved to work full time at my university as a professor's assistance and later on as teaching assistance, where I actually teach university level classes (mainly General Physics Lab 1, 2 and 3) for engineering and science students. Enjoyed it, I was very good to the point where I actually was assigned more groups than actually graduated guys. It helped the university: I was reliable, trustworthy and less expensive (I was paid as an undergrad assistant, not as a half time professor). I eventually made it to Coordinator Assistant for labs 1 and 3. By then I was 23/24 and was sharing my time between those clases; an assistance post at the Plasma Research Lab at the Nuclear, Molecular and Atomic Interactions Research Center; my Peruvian girlfriend; my elected position as General Accountant to the Student's Federation of my University; and a shit-load of drinking... So I was tired, exhausted, and decided to make a change after my GF dumped me: quit the Student's Fed, quit the university classes but 2, quit the research center, and find a night shift job as Customer Support for a website that still operates today: https://www.bingohall.ag/(formerly .com), more online gambling. Within 6 months I was Accounting Support; 6 months later, Payout Lead and 6 months more and I was accounting department manager, with 4 accountants under my supervision... they didn't liked being managed by an undergraduated physics student. I left that place in 2010 and moved to HP, where I did 3 years of HP Proliant Servers Support (running MS and Linux and ESX/ESXi) and then moved to my current post as SAP Enablement and Data Manager...
    EDIT:
    I'm not sure why I wrote all that but it seemed relevant. I'm only 32 but it seems I've lived a liftime already, can only admire the experience of some people here. I'm happy about it.

    Interestingly enough, I don't think of Raiders as evil. The play a part of the game I am not fond of, but I have privately raided in the past (and I have also defended) and I can tell you both sides draw fun out of what sometimes can be a very dull game.

    There are so many strange stats that are effected by every choice.
    For instance nudity will rise by people going to see potato operas. But why? Are people trying to imitate their favorite potato opera stars clothing? Or because they are taking them home?

    "I have a dream that our children will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the amount of money they spend on our products!" says well-groomed George Wallstreetson, CEO of Hard Cash Inc "So what if the food is making them blue or green? Hell, we can probably make them florescent pink and employ them in some of the clubs we own. And wait until you see the new product we have in the works: singing potatos! Who wouldn't want one, or seven hundred? And i'm sure that a little government support would let us put these out on the market faster, if you know what i mean. "

    It's time for me to begin a new election cycle.  
     
    There is currently no outstanding business besides the various reports that need to come in.  
     
    My time as Advocate has seen decent growth in the region forum (adding 47 members) but little growth in the government participation.  
     
    However it is my belief that the position of Advocate is unnecessary  to the forum and should belong to the Delegate as rightful leader of TWP and its peoples.  Therefore, I'm asking that we remake the government to reflect this concept rather than start a new election cycle.
