25 + Struggling to finish my last year as an undergrad; taking pointless bullshit required GE classes that I couldn't bring myself to complete the first time around.
- tokipin 19y agoi must have failed english four or five times before i dropped out. doesn't help that i could have taught the teachers 24 i think (lost count) + almost electronics engineering BS + 100k debt. just dandy ^_^ i'm looking to return for physics/math soon, but i'm wondering if my time would be better served atm in another endeavor
- edw519 19y ago"doesn't help that i could have taught the teachers" You're right about that. Doesn't help a bit.
- tokipin 19y agoi don't worry about it :) [edit]i like the "say in one tense, mean in all" declarative style (where the present is the "all tense,") if that makes any sense. it's sort of like functional programming
- edw519 19y agoSometimes I think the whole point of college is, "If this person can bring themselves to complete pointless bullshit, then they can bring themselves to complete anything."
- imsteve 19y agoWhich turns out to be bs in the end. Just about everyone does college and just about no one brings it upon themselves to do anything out of the ordinary afterward.
- edw519 19y ago"Just about everyone does college" Maybe just about everyone you know. But not in general. At almost every company I call on, most of the good jobs are done by college graduates and most of the hourly jobs by non-graduates. The graduates have demonstrated before the first interview that they can take on a major project and FINISH IT. Not a judgement. Just an observation. When it doubt, stick it out.
- imsteve 19y agoAre you implying a cause/effect relationship here? And I believe the correct phrase is "when in doubt, pull it out." Man has that phrase saved me a few times:)
