Mie toivotan siut tervetulleeksi miun dynastiaan

@cot: i'd go for the msc politics, because normally the interdisciplinary programmes are... how to express it... full of shit. :D
you'll have no problem becoming president of the EU with pol sci, although me, having done econ - well, i'm a step ahead. ;)

Ah, you didn't have to go do research, but thanks. Well, there actually are big differences regarding the different types of engineering, in opportunities, the work, salary, education, etc..
Are these monthly figures?
Thanks again.

Of course there are big differences in work, education and so on between the different types, but the wages didn't differ much. The starting wages maybe differed $ 100 between the different types of engineering. And yes, they are monthly figures. Are they low or high compared to the U.S.?

But in the interdisciplinary programme I will get the opportunity to study abroad half a year. :dopey: But actually, this programme doesn't seem to contain that much shit.

And be sure, that when I'm done with my studies the battle for the president chair will begin, with all the means at our disposal. :loco:
 
CoT: Surprisingly low. On average the starting salary for a master chem engineer here is $80000/yr ( about $6500/month )
..but I would really like to find a good opportunity and live in another country for some time at least :/
 
Wow!! That was one hell of a difference! :eek: Then why don't you work in the US a couple of years first and then live in an other country? Save 10% of your salary every month and live like a king anywhere else for a while.
 
@mag, cot: not really, with the dollar this low. and anyway there's an enormous price level difference between eu and the usa, so you have to adjust the difference a bit for purchasing power parity. let's say that with a salary around 2000 euros in Rome you can do more or less what you can do with around 3500 dollars in DC. i'm maybe overstating it, because i don't have a full knowledge of the market.
 
Right, but keep in mind that he already converted euros to dollars. And as it is, the number is a bit larger in dollars than its euro counterpart.
Also, the price level difference is definitely not 'enormous'. Having been to Europe and compared prices (with currency conversion) I found it was very comparable to prices in New York, AND New York is a relatively expensive place in the U.S.
 
@mag: it really depends on where you go in Europe. Southern Italy, Greece and some parts of Spain are really cheap. On the other hand, the North, the UK and some parts of Germany and Holland are like New York. All the rest is inbetween.

@fireangel: you're a fan of mine! hooray! :lol: i'll incite the fandom: i've done the same sort of course switching, but some years later - i revolutionized the rules for my ph. d. and i am going to present my dissertation on feb the 9th (no relation to the big exam on jan 27, it's just a busy period) nonetheless, without missing a beat. and i have not followed a single mandatory course. :D

@cot: what fire said. every word is true. especially if you have very high grades, because this allows you to move a bit more freely.

@power rahvin: :lol: :lol: that's a very cool interpretation, you know. i'll be sure to write it in the exam paper if i get a chance. it's right up there with "autocrosscorrelation" really being an extreme sport, which is my new big theory.
 
re the fandom: i can always wish... :lol: and rules exist to protect the ignorant.

Child Of Time: concering interdisciplinary programs, I once again, agree (partly) with hyena. You´ll get a little bit of everything and nothing right. From what I´ve seen, those people usually get some kind of advanced-common-sense-education. There may be few exceptions, when you choose a really good uni....QUOTE]

Yes, I'm sure you are right on this. But on the education I'm considering, half of the credits are courses in "European Studies" and the other half of the credits are courses in one of eight major subjects (history, economic history, history of ideas and theory of science, human and economic geography, sociology, political science, business administration and economics),which one is the student's choice. "By completing the advanced level course(s) in one’s main subject area, students fulfil the prerequisite for applying to the Ph.D. programme in that subject." So if I don't get a job after uni, I can go back and continue with the same thing...

well, we all need people to look up to, no? and i'm so happy to know that carl has the same orientation i have - not that i look up to prodi in particular, but i've been known to have people like michel camdessus (ex IMF director) as northern stars. when you say stuff like this in public, you look weird, especially when you're 19, which is the age when i started choosing prominent but unflashy institutional figures as examples. now i don't look weird anymore if i say i'm inspired by, say, jacques delors or the likes, because after all it's part of my job description... but it's been a long road.

and your avatar is a cartoon. :D
 
that last remark was evil :( It´s me! I just have another hair-colour, but the rest is myself.

Concerning role-models, they included a lot of adventurous people such as Alexandra David Néel, Fritjof Nansen and couple of English ladies travelling the arab states 150 years ago. Also I like Astrid Lindgren a lot. More names to come when I remember them... I was into politicians for some time, but after I tried myself out in real - life politics and got so terribly disillusioned, they were thrown out of the lists.


Nowadays I don´t have so many people anymore which I would specially name as role-models. Angela Gossow is teh cool. ;)
 
if someone would translate this for me, I would be very thankful :)

SubUrban Tribe - Manimal:
Pinnalta kaikki näyttää hyvältä. Yhtyeellä on historiaa ja uudella, kuudennella, kokopitkällä tarttuva nimi. Kansi on vähintäänkin kohtalainen ja bändi näyttää bändiltä: tukka hyvin, tatuoinnit esillä. Mutta levylautasella paljastuu nolo totuus. Kymmenvuotinen ura ei ole riittänyt opettamaan Suburban Tribelle, miten tarpeeksi iskeviä ja/tai tarttuvia biisejä tehdään. Ryhmä on kyllä pitänyt aikain saatossa huolen siitä, että sen kohdalla sanan metalli eteen on saanut sovittaa määreitä proge-, rap-, pop-, retro- ja grunge. Mutta varsinaista ikiomaa soundia yhtyeellä ei ole.

Manimalin lähimmäksi referenssiksi nousevat hetkittäin Kornin uudemmat gootahtavammat levyt, mutta kaikkiaan tunnelma vaikuttaa väljähtäneeltä. Jopa siinä määrin, ettei albumin päätyttyä mikään raita soi mielessä, eikä kuuntelukokemuksen toistaminenkaan ylenpalttisesti houkuttele.

Albumin kuunteleminen onkin vähän niinkuin yrittäisi myötäelää Irina Björklundin ja Peter Franzénin "maailmanvalloitusta". Hommat yksinkertaisesti hoidetaan muualla paremmin; eipä eskimoille juuri ole kannattanut aiemminkaan lunta kaupata. Ja tässä onkin myös ESEKin ja muiden hyväveli-kerhojen itsetutkiskelun paikka. Jos en kovasti erehdy, kuluvan vuoden mittaan saa Gramexpress-lehdestä taas lukea, miten Suburban Triben jäsenten Keski-Euroopan matkailua tuetaan kaikissa mahdollisissa kategorioissa.

Levy-yhtiö ilmoittaa yhtyeen edellistä levyä (Suburban Tribe, 2001) menneen maassamme kaupaksi 12 000 kappaletta. Siinä on riittävästi kannustinta ja perustetta työn jatkamiselle Suomessa, mutta ulkomaiden osalta voisivat EMI ja ESEK jo päästää vuoroon seuraavat jonossa odottavat. Sillä jos bändi tai artisti ei lähtökohdiltaan onnistu olemaan kovin originelli, saisiko toivoa että se tekisi omassa genressään mieleenpainuvaa tai edes vakuuttavaa musaa?


btw, of course there are CD-reviews where they got more points. I just wanna find out what they say here and what points they criticize
