well...if someone's going to pay you 200k/yr you'd better provide some very useful service (because folk with similar capabilities who are willing to work for significantly less are abundant) or else be very well connected (which it sounds like you are counting on)...if you want $3800/wk, you'd better have a lot to offer...Were I in the position, I'd be careful about offering such a wage to an unproven QB hack...but what do I know...I just earn my keep at a fraction of your idea....maybe I should learn from you...

Quote:i'll clear a few things up, if I do decide to go to a different college, I'd go to the one where my uncle, my dad, my otehr uncle, and my cousin all went to school and make $200,000 a year

That sounds pretty high, especially considering that the average starting rate for an electrical engineer is around $55,000 US (sources here, here and here.

Quote:the co-op program there can put me right in with INCO for the summer at $17 an hour to learn

Again, this sounds a bit too good to be true. Not many companies will pay someone that much to learn how to do a job.

Quote:it was mainly my uncle who ripped both the cover and socket off

Is this the same uncle who is being paid $200,000 a year as an electrical engineer?

Alot of my family works in the electrical and mining careers and make alot of money, plus if I don't get the job, then I can easily go work for my grandpa cabinet making business making a minimum $15 hour.

its too early in the morning for this... im going to bitch smack all of you if you don't shut the hell up =|

I'm over it, frankly I don't care what they think.

Quote:Avoiding the use of GOTO and GOSUB is fairly easy with BBCBASIC as it boasts the option of PROCedures. Liberty basic has no such luxuries and needs the constant use of these, though like QB any essential line numbers can be replaced by descriptive [labels]. However there is if course a much wider use of LB ( especially on the US).

I'm sorry? Liberty BASIC provides all the luxuries of structure programming, and not just recently. Scoped user defined SUBs and FUNCTIONS, DO/LOOP, WHILE/WEND, SELECT/CASE, IF/THEN/ELSE/END IF. It's all there.

Event handlers can be branch labels, sure. Any event handler can also be specified by a SUB.

It's not at all hard to avoid GOTO and GOSUB in Liberty BASIC.

i like this quote from carls blog

Quote:Once when I gave a demo of Liberty BASIC to a fellow programmer, his response was, "Who would want to use that?"

just how i felt when i tried liberty basic (and i felt it 100x stronger with justbasic)

I do fine with fb, and really, whats wrong with using GOTO/GOSUB's, if the program works the that should be enough. Shouldn't it???
