elvenengineer Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 So, so far. Though I hopefully defend my thesis in late April, then its smooth sailing. However, my advisor just emailed me asking if I'm thinking about a PhD.... NOPE! How are you doing finals now? Quarter system? 1 Quote Goal: Deadlift a (Female) Wookie (100 kg): 65.8% Link to comment

Quarter system?I prefer taking 8 week semester, it's more work but I only have to do two classes at a time to get my 30 credits a year. I've been toying with the whole Phd idea...lots of money and lots of work... 1 Quote Challenges: R: Winter is Here 20|19|18|17|16|15|14|13|R|12|11|10|9|8|7|6|5|4|3|2|1 “I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.” -John Galt Link to comment
elvenengineer Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I love learning things, but I'm finding that I learn more things while working than I do at school presently. I think I need to at least get out of it a while to 'reset', then maybe I'll consider it. Research is similar. I enjoy it, but the paperwork is driving me up the wall. I'm ready to get my Master's, then go to work. I have a job lined up, and I am super excited about it. Just got to get the pesky thesis out of the way. 2 Quote Goal: Deadlift a (Female) Wookie (100 kg): 65.8% Link to comment

The each have pros and cons. I started working in the field first-which is awesome and teaches things you can never learn in school. Then I went back to school on top of work to further my self. But, there is a lot more pressure in the job. Sometimes I wish I could just be in school and not have the work place stresses. What job do you have lined up?

AugustaAdaByron Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Lol, so what inspires one to major in math? Most of the math majors I know ended up studying math because when they were asked what they wanted to do in their life after they finished school they had no idea what that was so they decided to study the subject that they liked most at school. My guess would be... cluelessness? What inspires one to major in psychology? Quote Level "I have no clue" Warrior Current challenge Battle log Link to comment

My guess would be... cluelessness? What inspires one to major in psychology?Kind of a long story. It started with me being the kid who got kicked out of school for massive drug use, then into a treatment program, then being a success story, then working for said treatment center, then being really good at it and getting lots or promotions, then going back to school to get degree on top of my certification, then being promoted to running the treatment center. Strange how we get into things, guess I just have a knack for working with people. I want to expand from just working with young people with drug problems though and a degree just made sense. 2 Quote Challenges: R: Winter is Here 20|19|18|17|16|15|14|13|R|12|11|10|9|8|7|6|5|4|3|2|1 “I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.” -John Galt Link to comment
