As for me. I'm one of the people this picture is referring to. Potential

Not that I'm handing out fries. The next best thing though. Do you want morphine or demerol with that? :)


Anyway, I have a BA in History with a minor in the humanities

I also got an Associates of Arts degree in history from a junior college before transfering to a University. It's not necessary so most people don't bother. I really only did it because the only way I could maximize the money I was getting from the GI Bill I had to show progress towards a degree at the school I was currently enrolled in.

I am in my third year of High School.~Jason
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Wow, two aerospace engineering students and I know koji wants to do the same. I was interested in doing aerospace too for a long time, but circumstances (and I still don't entirely understand why) have led me to electrical engineering. Though I still hope to get involved in the aerospace industry eventually.

I love airplanes.

Decided Engineering, as a whole, sucked, and didn't want to do that post-Navy anyway.

So... BA in Criminology. Assuming I don't stay in the Navy for 20 years or so (in which case, what degree I got really doesn't matter 8) ), I'll probably head over to law enforcement.

Seeing as I graduate in 5 weeks... High School Graduate.

I will be majoring in Biology, and probably will dual major in Microbiology next year at Arizona State. Then it is off for a masters and subsequent PhD in one or both subjects.

Spent 2 years in a community college working toward a network manager degree, then had to move away. Doubt I'll finish the degree.
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

Well, I'm going to get my High School Diploma and the International Baccalaurreate, then hopefully to the University of Florida or University of Miami for a Major in Chemistry or Biology, and another major in something else.

Luckily for me, Jebby Bush will pay for four years of college, but I'm going to start Uni as a second semester sophmore. Therefore, I will double major in either Chemistry or Biology and something else, then pursue a Medical Doctorate.

Finishing a BS in biology and going into medical school to get dumb.

They say medical school is six miles wide but only an inch deep. At least my undergrad classes were like six miles deep.

Working on a double major in English and Economics, to possibly be followed by graduate school in Journalism. I have my eye on Columbia, but I don't know if I can stand living in NY.
