Yes occupation cannot predict suicide and there is no proof of a cause and effect relationship but there is a correlation/relationship. The other thing I would say is that that article is 8 years old. Don't know about you but we cannot use sources for science papers that are older than three years old because of how fast things change.

Just what my professor said, I will ask him in my class tomorrow about where he got the info from.

Hookem, the only advice from this thread you really need to take seriously is the game of beer pong. It will get you far in college. Trust me.

I concur, during bad economic time, you might find it beneficial to put water in the plastic cup, and have the beer bottle in your hand. So rather than pouring beer into plastic cups then chugging that cup, it just easier to drink from the bottle.

Saves money and you still have fun. ;D

Oh yeah, if you meet a girl that easy, yeah, don't go down that road.

If she plays hard to get, keep on pressing. Literally.

If you are not chugging the beer pong cups then you are missing out on drinking all the fun things that are floating around in them.

I would also suggest getting a couple red Solo cups and practice flipping them from the edge of your table so that they land upside down. Heck, with these tough economic times you could probably use the same cups you practice beer pong with. Unlike beer pong, which can take awhile, flippie-cup will get you where you want to be in a hurry.

Congratulations, Hookemdown!

I attended college on a partial scholarship that paid about 1/2 of my tuition and was so grateful.  On a serious note, clubs and activities will look great on resumes, but it's all about balance.  Know your limits (with the partying as well) and adjust according to your class load.  The spring of my Sr. year in college I ran across an old HS buddy. We graduated HS the same year and here he was starting over as a sophomore.  He had been kicked out of another "party university" due to academic probation and a drinking problem.  Fortunately he had gotten clean attending AA meetings and seemed to be on the right track (but he was three years behind).  Remember, school first, everything else second (except fishing maybe) !!
