"Real students." FUCK YEAH

FYP

I didn't come up with that quote. A guy I know who did Computer Engineering at RIT did.

I still think it's one of the funniest quotes ever

Anyway, it's fine if you want to do History or Philosophy or whatever, but you should at least have a game plan of what you want to do once you get out, especially after what happened in the economy.

I have to agree with this.

 

[The Ozzman]

I have to agree with this.

I know, right? I mean, it's one thing if you want to do English and teach or work for a newspaper or something, but it's completely another to do something because you 'like it', but end up sitting around for 3 years after college figuring out what to do while working at Home Depot or something

 

[waif]

I'm pretty sure you'd actually just teach for three years while figuring out what to do, but sure. Unless you majored in something really bizarre and impractical.

 

[The Ozzman]

Well, it's even getting harder to find teaching jobs in certain areas

There are two types of students in this world: Art students and real students

Someone who studies solely or mainly for the purpose of getting a well-paid job is not someone I would consider a 'real' student.

Neither would I

FTR, I majored in Finance in college not because I wanted to have a lucrative career, but because it actually interested me and was intriguing. Finance just happens to be one of the more lucrative fields out there, so it's coincidental.

I'm not having a very lucrative lifestyle right now because I currently make less than 20k after taxes, but it's a stepping stone right now.

I'm in the position where I can apply for university now. I don't know whether to go on a computer science course, a history course or a politics course.

Politics would probably be the least useful career wise, and the most interesting to me. Computer Science would probably be the most useful and least interesting.

newsflash: your major doesn't necessarily have to correspond directly with your future career. Example: I know quite a few people who work for the government or private sector with degrees in the Liberal Arts and feel that it benefitted them greatly

Well, that explains a lot about what's wrong with you.

I thought this was obvious, but I may have been mistaken. Did people think that people with degrees in Liberal Arts just became teachers or evaporated upon graduation?

Why, because I happen to enjoy math?

 

[False Joe]

Bout time.
My mate just said this thread was going off pics and onto faggotry.

 

[The Ozzman]

Probably because your friend is an uneducated faggot

 

[SentinelSlain]

His mate is probably a uni mate.

I chose a middleground for schooling. Most of all I wanted to go to art school, but knowing that no one who goes to art school gets any jobs I skipped that. I also thought about studying society or biology, since that would bring me a good allround education for higher studies, but that I had no interest in at all. So I chose something that would both get me a job and keep me interested, if not the most fun or profitable.

 

[SentinelSlain]

which was?

are you the railway man or is that another swede?
