Haha, that picture with the guy smoking out the N64 controller was priceless.

I'm a bio major.  I've got 100's of potential career paths with it.  Gonna do veterinary medicine for post grad though.

Yeah anything in science basically means MONEY (but a lot of studying/long time working)

I always believed people chose education and a major out of sheer intrinsic motivation...


It's not worth the 60,000 dollars+.... Wikipedia and other sources have all the information we'll ever need


The Internet is no replacement for a good education, good sir.

Plus that piece of paper means a lot when finding a job.

It sucks because I'm definitely capable of getting a high earning degree, but I'd rather kill myself than be an engineer or doctor.


Why do you say this?

A doctor has to be one of the most rewarding jobs on the planet.
Why would you rather kill yourself?


Gen eds are bull shit.

Fuck, I might just be a teacher just so I can have summers off. Plus I could realistically have a master's by the time I'm 22 cause I'm only 18 and almost have my associate's, so it'd be kinda cool to lord over high school students and be only like 5 years older than them


Haha, I had a 22 year old English teacher my senior year.  She was quite attractive too.  All the male students made it to class every day.  Course they were distracted during lecture. :rofl:

Are you seriously saying you'd rather kill yourself than go through gen eds? I mean, don't get me wrong, they suck and all, but come on, don't be so histrionic. It's like a year of equally pointless but slightly less stressful high school. Then you get to do whatever the hell you want.

it depends on the job.

i have friends with no degree at all that make $150k/year. the IT industry couldnt give a shit if you have a degree or not.. as long as you have the experience.

the degree could get you in for the interview but a certification could do the same thing and it will cost you 1/1000th of the price of a 4 year college.. and the information would be more relevant/up to date.

assuming you can actually find a job.. :shrug:

BlueJayWay was the one who'd rather kill herself than major in something productive.

But yeah, gen eds are fun.

lol but how do you get your foot in the door to get experience without the diploma?

the certs help, yes. but you can buy "Master CCNA in 30 Days" and other bullshit stuff for any cert out there.
A cert won't draw the respect that a degree from UCLA would...
Because you know the guy from UCLA could go get the cert just as easily if you'd pay for him to do it.

anyhow, I have 3 years experience in IT, and I'm still going back to school to finish my 4 year.
there's no reason for me not to IMHO...
why fight uphill battles at every future job interview i have when it's just a couple years of my time?

I'm taking 14 units of gen eds this semester. At first when I realized how basic and boring these classes were I thought the semester was going to be hell, but then it occurred to me that it leaves me with tons of time to do what I wanna do. It's like a semi-vacation. I'm taking the opportunity to start some new hobbies.

I still can't wait to get back to the real classes, though. Last semester I took general chemistry and I actually really enjoyed being bent over the text for hours putting all the pieces together. It's really rewarding stuff when you work it all out, it pays you back for the time you invest in it.

be careful making that assumption.

i took "the history of science" this semester because i figured a history course related to what i actually have interest in (as opposed to actual history) would be at least half decent and all i can think of now is how much i want to shoot myself over it.

the professor takes her job wayyyyyy too seriously and i honestly think she thinks the people who took the class took it because they actually care about what early scientists thought.

sometimes i just want to run up to the front of the class and beat her old ass down. its that annoying.

im probably going to fail because she expects us to write deep intellectual papers about people who had completely wrong theories, and i just cant do it. when i hear "and they thought the solar system was geocentric" i dont have anything stimulating pop in my mind. the only thing that pops in my mind is "wow, they sound like christians"

and when i turn that in (because i have to, i cant even pretend to give a shit about this stuff, its that horrible) she gives me barely passing/failing grades.

:rant:

sorry. i had to rant.

if anyone could learn the same information by reading a book on their own than the degree isnt worth as much. this statement cheapens the value of a UCLA degree more than anything else.

4 year degrees dont make sense in a lot of IT fields.. by the time you are finished the information you learned is irrelevant.

if you yourself could start working in the field without a degree it is pretty logical to say you dont need one.

experience is king. youre already ahead of the game.
