I think I'm gonna go and get another bachelors degree

#16148817 - 04/27/12 10:33 PM (14 years, 6 months ago)

I'm considering going back to school (for the third time).

I'm considering a bachelors in architecture. Its seems really interesting. It seems to be a mix between a lot of stuff which works out many areas of the brain.

You need skills in math, design, economics, drawing, physics and probably others. I would have to learn the building codes and all the laws related to construction.

I think it would be a great addition to the two degrees I already have (business administration and business management). It would also fit right in with my life plan of owning as much real estate as humanly possible.

Has anyone ever attempted or completed a bachelors in architecture? If so, how hard was it?

seems like the degrees you have would have been boring as fuck

so i think you could get your degree in architecture just fine

i have a AAS in electronic systems engineering right meow

not sure what I wanna do for ma bachelors - problem something in teaching or a psychopharmacology/chemistry field (if I'm smart enough for it, which I doubt)

Going to school for Graphic Design and I didn't want to transfer and never signed up to a uni.. So just an associate's degree for me.

Thinking about starting another associate's in the fall. :facepalm:

If you want to own real estate it's probably a lot more practical to apprentice as a general contractor and learn to do as much repair and reno on your properties yourself as you can.

Yeah, getting the degree is the least of my worries.

Its what I would do with it after I'm done is what worries me.

You see, when it comes to learning shit, I excel at it.

When it comes to the 9 to 5 job, that's where I completely zone out. It'll take 6 months and I'll go crazy.

I would have to be an entrepreneur working for myself. But I know for a fact I don't have the motivation to put in the time and effort into it.

I'm fucked like that.

i am an excellent test taker, and i can bullshit my way through a course very easily, and i love learning

working isn't bad man. you just gotta change very now and then. live by mike rowe's philosophy. new job every 2-6 years keeps you sane.

and fuck I work a 6-5 job :lol:

:lol:

gonna quit soon though. find something new.

True.

But that's not in my skill set. I work better with my head than with my hands.

My stepfather is great at it. He's been trying to teach me the stuff I should do by myself (the ones that are most expensive to get done by someone else). As of yet, I would give myself F-.

You can't have it all.

You realize that making your own business is going to take WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more work then working a standard 9-whatever job right?

:smile:

:smile:

I'm not saying it's a bad idea - just trying to figure you out.

I wanna open my own business too. not sure what yet.

Yeah, if you open a business expect to work 70-80+ hours a week for the first 3-5 years until it's on its feet.

i'm curious where the OP got all this money for college unless he had a stupid amount of scholarships or was in the military.

It's not ridiculously expensive in Canada, and I'm pretty sure he went to one of the 2 schools around my city, both of which offer 4k+ a year scholarships to basically anyone (which is like 60% of tuition).

Of course.

I really want to have a business. But like I said, I really doubt I am cut out for it.

Which sucks cause, I learned all the advantages of being in business for myself in the previous 2 degrees I took. That and both my parents and all 4 grandparents are/were in business. So I was kinda bombarded by business as a child.

What the fuck didn't I inherit that gene? The odds were like 999/1000 that I get it. What the fuck happened????

Yep, Ottawa U. 6 or 7k a year if I remember correctly.

Easily achievable with a summer job.

I did get a few scholarships too. I think I received maybe 3k in scholarships back when I was fresh out of high school. So that's like a free semester.

i have friends who study architecture. and these guys are smart dudes, they say its pretty technical and difficult. alot of maths and physics, also helps to be crafty and have good sketching/building skills.

but you know sometimes people who get too many degrees can actually become unemployable due to over qualification? it sounds stupid i know, but sometimes employers will elect to employ a person who is lesser qualified (but still qualified) because they know they can pay them less and not have to worry about the over-qualified person trying to take over operations of the organisation and stuff.

i thought it was retarded when i first heard about that phenomenon. its like lolwut, your not going to hire me because i'm "too good" for the job?!?! it's a problem that alot of people with masters and PHD's encounter

This makes sense. If you have 2 degrees don't go for a third. You should specialize in something, or it'll just be another piece of paper signifying cost without guaranteed production.

Its a good problem to have.

If I ever get the feeling it would happen I'll only say I have the degree needed for the job.

Then if I get hired I'll be like: ''oh, by the way, I gots other degrees too! I forgot to tell you''.

Once hired, the boss can only see it as an asset.

Plus, you have to follow the rules of the job market, one of which is; lie your way in

what pwnasaurus said. i think owning equity and designing buildings don't have much in common. owning equity is related to how much money you have, regardless of your occupation or education level.

I'm in that boat right now. It's a combination of things, they think we'll want too much money, get bored with the work, to possibly committing a hostile take over or some shit.
