My wife has to quickly spin me away before I can bash them over the head with several hundred years of accumulated Western education history.

lmao!
i know exactly what you mean
im just starting university, but my dad has a PhD in political science and reacts the same way :D

Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering, Syracuse University, 1985


So, yes, I am a rocket scientist.

Damn, all these young kids.....Make me feel old.

cetacean 08-13-2003 07:21 PM

I earned an MS in Biology last January... I am still contemplating a PhD, but a disertation seems like a rough trip after the hell I went through to produce a Master's Thesis...

yankeefatboy 08-13-2003 07:28 PM

It's comforting to know that I'm not the only educated "pig" out there. No wonder I don't mind not titty board. You guys make me actually think. What a concept!

When I was still in highschool I worked at this little pizza shop in town... one of the drivers I knew there had two degrees, one in areospace engineering and the other in marine engineering. It humored me to no end knowing a rocket scientist that delivered pizzas for a living. No, it wasn't because he couldn't find a 'real' job, he was just too lazy to look for one.

oldman2003 08-14-2003 01:32 PM

After 35 years off...I am going to go back to school this winter! Just maybe I'll get that piece of paper that qualifies me for the job I've been doing the past 10 yrs.

juanvaldes 08-14-2003 03:14 PM

means nothing but undergrad in CS.

Semi-Normal 08-14-2003 07:13 PM

I guess I count as undergrad. I did a year and a half before I decided I just wasn't enjoying the study enough and withdrew. Been working since then. No plans to resume my studies at this point, though it may happen one day.

Ditto.... except I joined the Army... that was 9 years ago.... shit time flies :crazy:

SaltPork 08-14-2003 07:26 PM

Bachelor's of Science in Business Management with strong minors of Psychology and Economics. I spent a lot of time switching majors so I had all of the major credits for both Psych and Econ. Weird combo, but what's a stupid kid supposed to do?

B.S. Mechanical Engineering UT-Austin '96

My friends are fond of Bullshit instead Bachelor of Science because I graduated first of out of our group in three and half years. And I was "the" slacker all through high school.

For those with Master or higher degrees. Does it help in your field and among your peers? I've thought about going back to school and completing my masters but it seems I'd be overqualified for the jobs I prefer and unexperienced enough for the jobs that really require a Master degree.

Clewd 08-15-2003 01:14 AM

undergrad in engineering, havent declared a major yet, probably comp. sci. or bioE

You're welcome. :)

Master of Science? Master in Science sounds more reasonable...

Undergrad electric engineering here.

sailor 11-05-2003 12:20 PM

In college at the moment. I would like to get a Masters, and if I decide to major Economics, a PhD as well.

There had better be a good community college wherever I end up after school, too. There are so many random things I want to learn. I could seriously get 10 different degrees just out of curiosity. So much to learn, so little time...

tontoom 11-05-2003 01:07 PM

I am at college.

Drinking beer and having fun. Soon I am going to pass the exams also.

oberon 11-05-2003 01:31 PM

I am currently a senior in computer engineering at Purdue University. Hope to finish my B.S. in December 2004.

After that, I think I'll try for an M.S. Maybe after I've finished an M.S. thesis, I'll try for a PhD.. maybe. Not sure I want to do computer engineering research for a living...

bigoldalphamale 11-05-2003 03:44 PM

BS Finance/Econ - U Tennessee, Knoxville
2nd Year MBA, Graduating this May
Kicking around a CPA or Law School part time when i finish my MBA

ForgottenKnight 11-05-2003 10:24 PM

Undergraduate in Aerospace Engineering... Yes, I am a Rocket Scientist! :p

nofnway 11-05-2003 11:44 PM

studied accounting....got a job with the state....got fat.....had to quit.......things much better now.

Still don't use that degree though.

numist 11-05-2003 11:46 PM

Im an 18 year old second year looking at a BS in Computer Science (yeah, me and half of everyone else in college now has that damn major... and I wonder why theres no jobs :( )

However, At least I can make light of it, thanks to my mom*'s father.

BS = Bullshit
MS = More Shit

* mom meaning dad's g/f of 5 years.. yeah, shes basically my mom.

irseg 11-06-2003 12:02 AM

I dropped out of college (was pursuing a BS in computer science), and it was the best damn decision I ever made.

Anyone who says college is better than the "real world" is full of shit. Outside of college, the work you do actually has significance. It can affect whether a company lives or dies, and whether you can afford to eat and pay your bills. A wee bit more significant than a grade from some TA and a letter on a transcript. Oh, and you don't have to live in a 10x10 concrete box with someone else, either. That's certainly a plus.

splck 11-06-2003 06:29 AM

There's no "dropped out of high school"...not that I did.

Dilbert1234567 11-07-2003 12:27 AM
