Grrrrrrrrrrrrrraduate School!

Hey Pete, you'll love L.A.
Let's jam some time!!

 

I judge those to ge a wonderful set of personalities. Give him a cookie!

 

Congrats, Peter! USC has a better football team than Cornell, too.

 

Hey, congrats Smuggy! I just got a thick letter from Hame Polytechnic yesterday myself, I'll be moving to Southern Finland in January to study Construction Engineering, and possibly Construction Architechture if I get into their international program later.

I'm also waiting for a letter from Vaasa University if I got into their economics program, if I do then it'd make two of us, eh? I think I'm taking the Construction Engineering though, but putting the economics 'on hold' so I can change there next year if I'm interested.

 

Oh yeah.

Wouldn't be the first time, won't be the last.

 

one?

 

congrats... I am gonna be applying for a sociology Ph.D program, since a BA in sociology isn't worth much as far as I can tell. I've been thinking about applying to schools out in California, I am totally sick of New England winters.

But I'm in an original, gigging rock band, so it looks like that's not gonna happen in the immediate future.

 

Good luck PM...didn't have much time to play seriously when I was in grad school.
Make the most of it.

Oh, yeah, congrats on finishing up at Cornell too. That's a pretty big feat in and of itself.
Kudos.

Now go forth and work out new non-linear progression formulae. Make the world a better place!!!

 

What key is this thread in?

 

COngrats are in effect, Pete.
You'll still be a Techie in my eyes .
I should be accepted into grad school in about 3 weeks according to the graduate advisor.
Good stuff.

 

Heh. Might want to ask around about the value of a Ph.D in sociology before you give up those big original rock band dollars.

Ask any new lib. arts Ph.D trying to get tenure at State U. -- ya gotta do it for love of the subject, not $$$.

That's partly what kept me away -- I wasn't terribly passionate about the field. Oh, and the fact that I'm not nearly as bright as I like to think I am -- that too.

 

I'm into sociology big time, but yeah, it's an unfortunate reality that getting a terminal degree in a social science doesn't pay what it should when you consider the massive time committment necessary to get there. I just don't know what the alternative is.



What do you do for work?

 

so uh, how do you afford all of this schooling? Moving to New York to attend Cornell and now moving to California to get your masters.....you must have a good resource pile. Or debt up to your ears.


Good luck man! At least someone has an idea of what to do with their life (I start college next year and have no idea what to do)

 

So, in other words, you steal from your grandmother without her knowledge?
