Had I been a CPP reject, I would call it "a blessing in the skies". The guys that went to United will be washing dishes at The Olive Garden for years to come, I know of a few buddies of mine, put their apps in at Amazon fulfillment centers and they still have not got the call. The conservative approach would be to take the pay cut in my opinion and get yourself through school for more prestigious and stable career or heck learn and apprentice for a good trade that will make you 10 times more money than slinging gear for some yellow eyed/ teethed, foul smelling breath joker with no social skills, who was never thought how to groom or dress. The second would be to burn the place down and live on unemployment go to school or trade school while enjoying some free time, tasting college life all over again...
