    Another (What are my chances) Thread

    I am 19 years old and attending The University Of Oklahoma to get my Masters degree.

    When I was sixteen I had my first job at Blockbuster and our boss was terrible to us. She would not let me off for school, so I walked out and quit. It was high school and missing that many days would mean failing. The store closed down soon after and I realized I had movies I did not return. I could not return them because the store is now a clothing store.

    I have only stolen one thing my whole life and it was a Dr. Pepper from Blockbuster.

    My second job was at a grocery store and worked there for about 2 months and they had to let me go because they needed someone who could work more hours because I was still in school.

    I have never done drugs.

    I have tried alcohol less then three times and I do not drink. ( I don't like it)

    I have now been at my current job at a local UPS facility for a year and going now. I wake up at 4 am and work until 9m then attend class at the university.

    I have volunteered at my local SPCA shelter for the last year also. (not because I want my resume to look good, but because I truly care about animals)

    What do you think my chances are after I complete my Masters and keep up with my current job?

    I plan to apply to a relatively small department (25,000 people) that only requires a high school diploma, so I think my Masters from a good school will help?

    Thanks in advance for the answers guy's and I appreciate what you do

    I don't think you have anything to worry about.
    This career is not a sprint, it is a marathon.

    I agree with the above posts! Do you have a Oklahoma credit card?



    Be Safe.

    I have a credit card, but what's an Oklahoma credit card?

    I also pulled my credit report today and there are no negatives! It has my motorcycle I paid off all on time and my car I am currently making payments on. Should have a flawless score when I start applying, I hope.

    I am going to have to start on these loans for college soon.

    Hopefully that Masters degree will be well worth it in the end.
