What's your level of Education?
Moderator: Edi
BA Philosophy, UTA 1999. I tried to take some postgrad courses but I got fed up with it because it was a very long and arduous indoctrination into Postmodernism and all the ills that it brings outside of Literature, where it belongs.
I'm seriously considering taking the last 12 hours and turning in a thesis I've had sitting around for sometime, now. I just seem to lack the energy or interest anymore, and of course the money which is a big thing but not so much of a consideration.
But I figure with all the downtime I've had lately it would be something to do, something to have a sense of accomplishment about.
Now what I'd like to do, is a find a new employer with an awesome tuition reimbursement program and do something meaningful and truly fun as well as more reflective of my roots and early passions, and cannot be so easily outsourced: Engineering Physics, baby! Ph. D. if I can help it. That would be so cool...

My parents are retired, ffs. Of course they can't give me more than a token amount of money for college. And yeah, I'm white (*ptooey*, why should I give a shit about skin color?) so that automatically makes me ineligible for around half of the scholarships out there. Minorities my ass.TrailerParkJawa wrote:Getting finanical aid is a big bullshit story in California. If your parents work, even though they are going to give you ZERO money for school, you can't get aid. If you are white, forget it.
Your either an adult or your not, except when it comes to finanical aid.
Frankly, I'm at the point where I'm starting to believe that the best thing for California would be for the whole of the state congress to be wiped away in some sort of earthquake or flood or something. And have it replaced by people who aren't career asslickers.

Finally going to finish up my BS in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Virginia Tech. Five years that started in Chemical Engineering, now that sucked. Hopefully will get a few offers from the 40+ of my resumes that are floating around among employers.
Oh anyone here work for UPS? If so any advice on how to correctly interview with them?

Going for Bachelor in Chemical Engineering at the University of Delaware. I've lost a year partly due to having to move and my refusal to pay the exhorbitant out-of-state tuition ($624/credit) until I establish residency. Unfortunately, I will have to pay it for Calc II this summer if I want to get into a chem eng class that is only offered in the fall. Once the tuition comes down, I should be able to afford at least 12 credits in the fall and spring as well as 6-9 during the winter and summer sessions.
It certainly helps that my house is closer to the main campus than some of the dorms.

Currently pursuing a BA in Theology and a BS in Economics. Two more classes for the former, four for the latter.
And I really need to poke into some scholarships, since I just found an ancestor (about four or five generations back) who's Turkish.

Yeah, but I have an undergraduate Mci, which means I've never been a postgrad student.Dalton wrote:I think we go to grad school for the masters degrees as well as PhDs.InnerBrat wrote:I'm going to what UI think you yanks would call 'grad school' in September.

Clever and witty signature to be inserted here, just as soon as I think of one.

Re:
I've heard they've been improving lately. I'm a graduate of University, but I remember heading out to Evans (I was a band geek ) and watching the Green Machine. I can't say I know much about the school, since it was all the way across the county, but I do remember we always lost football games there (funny how memory works).mjn6172 wrote:The Dark Wrote:
