Computer science... want to go back for a physics degree for a quantum computing career, but I'm saving up for a house at the moment, so that's a no-go.

You almost done, RC? Master's, right?

I wish. Just started year 2 of 3 this week--I'm in a joint masters program, so last year I worked towards one degree and this year I start working towards the other. Gonna be chugging through core courses all over again for the next two quarters.

Electrical engineering, it's on the easy track atm.
My C programming prof is going over homework I got 100% on, so I figured I could reasonably dick around on the internet.

I got into grad school but couldn't afford it. Now I work at a 4 star restaurant telling people how to wash dishes and that they shouldn't call people "fat" when they're trying to eat their "Fudge Volcano Cake dessert for 2" by themselves.

How hard was your class anyway?

I had a hellish professor when I took C# and Visual Basic.NET, because she did nothing but go over powerpoints over code that her husband did.

I'm still in it.
First exam is going up to if statements. It gets a bit dicey around the parts with type casting and orders of operations for ++x and x++.

I learned Assembly first, so this is a bit silly for me.

I never learned assembly. Only thing I know about Assembly was via Game Genie, and a tutorial for one of the stupidest Donkey Kong Country ROMHacks ever. It involved simply placing a minecart at the entrance of Jungle Hijinx, and riding it all the way to the end.

Play TIS-100.
That will teach you what hell is, and assembly while you're at it.

See, I don't know if I want to go into academia anytime soon. I know I'd have the flexibility of being a professor or working in an industry, but I dunno. It's a big commitment that I'm not sold on.

If all goes well, I'll be getting a call from the federal government early next year about a full-time job offer available when I graduate!

I get that question all the time. Lol. There are things you can do with it but it is extremely limited. You can study with an emphasis in law if you really want to make money. The other options are Teaching, Counseling, or Psychological fields. I'm sure there are other options as well but I only focused on what i wanted to do which is counseling/ therapy.

Yeah I took a philosophy class early into my college education and found it very interesting. Most high level education implements philosophical thinking at a certain point. That's why they're called PhDs. They're Philosophical Degrees. :)

Started my fourth year of undergrad last month. Kinda sad to see it coming to an end, but pretty happy to almost be done. Including this semester, I've still got three to go, so it's not like I'll be done any time soon <_<

I'm starting to think my minor in Public Health might be stupid, and might switch it to a minor in Econ, but I'm still not 100% on that.

I'm starting to look into grad schools for a public policy program, but I don't think I'm good enough to get into any that I want to. I've also been toying with the idea of getting an M.S. in business or finance, but that's an even further stretch. A lot of my professors and advisors are recommending law school but that's such a soulless career :/ I wish I knew what I wanted to do with my lifeeeee. I think I'm leaning towards something in academia though? I love talking to my professors and TAs about the research they're doing/have done and all the traveling they've done and all that jazz. I have no clue what I'd want to do, though.

I think if I don't get into my top five grad school choices I'll try to find a job somewhere and pick school back up later. I should probably pay down some of my massive debt anyway >___<

I've started talking to my district's rep's office, and it's looking like I can get an internship at his local office next semester and get credit at the same time, so that's cool. I'm also looking at doing an internship either in D.C. or London next Fall, but those are highly competitive and I'm not really that great an applicant.

Other than that, I'm wanting to do some traveling this summer. With the student org that I'm in I'll probably be spending a week or two in Washington and Canada in May, and I'm signing up for a study abroad trip to Germany (Berlin), Poland (Poznan), Austria (Vienna), Hungary (Budapest), and the Czech Republic (Prague) for July/August.

And beyond all that, I feel like for the first time in a really long time, I'm starting to be happy with myself, but that's due largely in part because I feel accepted and wanted by other people. I have a really fragile self-esteem so as soon as something I perceive as bad happens, I'm going to have a really shitty couple of weeks/months. I wish I could avoid it since I know it's stupid, but things are what they are I guess. Gotta hold on to the good while I can.

I still don't know why you think this. Do not go into law school unless you absolutely want to practice law; if policy is your intended path, it's a waste.

sorry ;-;

anywho I'm about .01% sure I'm going into law school lol. I have basically no interest in it at all, and I've done no research on law schools or looked at any LSAT related things. Everyone just tells me it's a good field (but i think they really overestimate how much lawyers make).

That, and how saturated the market is. I have some friends from undergrad who have recently passed the bar and are doing well, but again, if it isn't your plan to practice law then it's not worth it. MPP would give you the relevant tools and experience you're looking for.

And interning with local government is solid so get your shit together! Believe in yourself! You already have the grades and extracurriculars; I have no idea why you think you're underqualified for shit. Just go for it.

Some people go to college because they find a subject interesting and want to challenge their ideas in regard to said subject.

Also, having a general grasp of philosophy can help you a lot in ways outside of education.

I just need to do a Co-op class to finish my IT General degree thingy. uh, it might have been better to get more info since that degree is basically not as good as the other IT degrees I could have gotten. But when I first started going, the other two degrees were worthless, or so I was told. Then years went by before I went back to finish up the classes. Now I have just that one class to get the degree.
