So anyone actually study something useful?

OH SNAP

radiologic technology

radiologic technology

At some point, that won't be useful anymore according to my dad (A radiologist). He said everything is going towards interventional radiology and I don't know how big a role the techs play in that.

I had a 3.28 overall with a 3.4 in my major. Y'all are dorks.

Before I transferred, I had a 3.7 GPA but I was mostly taking gen eds

I identify with that video in so many ways it's embarrassing.

Indeed. The parts about Harold Bloom are fucking awesome. I don't understand how anyone, even undergrads, could see him as someone who "informs their ideas." All his damn rhetoric about "the canon" and his reader-response approach leave very little to work with. I actually read Bloom a couple times in my freshman year, and then never again. He's pretty outdated now.

His one saving grace is that he called McCarthy's Blood Meridian the most important American work of the past half-century. However, I don't agree with his ideas about the novel at all; so hokey and optimistic.

that's ridiculous. sorry. but you don't do interventionals for the kind of information you need from say an ankle or chest x-ray. the doses are SUBSTANTIALLY higher for interventionals. interventionals are done for things like hip or shoulder injections. x-ray is still going to be around for a long time. and once you are an x-ray tech you can easily cross train into other fields, CT, mammo, angio, MRI, et al.

Master's thesis is due Monday and finally done (except for proofing). All that's left is to get it bound. It's not as long as I was expecting: just over 25 pages.

I'm a biochemistry major too. I aspire to follow in your footsteps.

So what are you doing once you graduate?

I studied Finance

So what are you doing once you graduate?

Finding work, and in the meantime deciding if I want to pursue a PhD.

Chemical/Process Engineering. Hopefully soon I'll be testing and designing mining explosives. I don't really care where I end up as long as it's not academia, whether it be oil & gas, mining, food processing, pharmaceuticals or water treatment.

jobs that dont die when "the economy is bad". ftw

Did you study heat transfer in your chemical engineering program?

 

[Episteme]

Sure did. It was a pretty important unit because with that, mass transfer and thermodynamics it pretty much shaped up what the entire concept of process engineering was.

 

[sevag00]

Did you have any difficulties in this subject? I started studying the laws of thermodynamics and i'm finding it a bit difficult.

 

[Episteme]

I remember missing out on alot of classes about convection and radiation, but I ended up doing quite well because I studied like a motherfucker for the exams and actually found it easy to link between mass transfer, heat transfer and fluid mechanics using dimensionless numbers in one of our follow up subjects called Transport Phenomena.

Thermodynamics on the other hand was quite hard to grasp because it seemed alot more abstract, I remember only doing good enough to pass.

What are you having problems with? Maybe I can help.

 

[arg]

i got my BS in computer science in 2007 and have been working since then. i'm gonna start a master's degree in international business in september.

 

[Chanakya]

Most importantly, you pay for poon.

 

[arg]

well that's the idea, useful degrees ftw

 

[Episteme]

I think most people here would be surprised with the number of people in the world who pay for sex, especially successful people. Most of which are lonely expatriates who have family back in their home country.

Saying that, I will never pay for sex. Although it is inadvertently paying for sex by wining and dining someone you like.

Thanks for offering your help. I think i can work my way out. If i need help, i'll let you know.
