Fejas Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 welcome to the real world. from now on you will be reminiscing about how great those college days were... Oh yes, the days of four foot bong rips, and tequela tuesdays... no wonder I dropped out.... Quote
willstrickland Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Congrats! Now instead of a wasted touristy trip to Europe staying in lame hostels and seeing 8 countries in 12 days, take that graduation loot and spend six months as a climbing/ski bum. You've got the rest of your life to work. Quote
cracked Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 If school is better than work then just shoot me now. Quote
willstrickland Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 School v. Work: Skip class, no worries, skip work...yo ass fired Fail class, no worries try again, fail at work....yo ass gone Don't like you prof, tell 'em to eat it. Don't like boss, suck it up and deal. First class scheduled for 10am. Start work at 7:30am. Class with 20s hotties. Work with 50s fattys. School, 3 month vactions and two long breaks. Work, 2 weeks off. BANG!!!! Quote
catbirdseat Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Will, that sums it up pretty accurately. Quote
cracked Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 I don't skip classes, they cost too much to blow off. Fail class? Are you insane? Don't like prof, deal with it. First class 8:30 for the past four quarters. School: 9 months of work, then three months of lab job. And the biggest: work: get weekends off. School: spend at least half of every weekend studying. I thought GT was such a tough school. Quote
iain Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 The difference between work and school is at work you are working for the customer. At school you were the customer. The cool thing about work is on the weekends you can forget about it. Unless you work at a lame place! Quote
Al_Pine Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Some jobs will give you homework, but most likely not the amount you get at school. However, I firmly believe that if you busted your butt 9-5 (or 8-6 or whatever) at school like most people do at their jobs, then you would have most of your homework done during that time. Undergraduate anyway. Quote
cracked Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 I'm just going to pretend that a job is better than school. Ignorance is bliss! And school still sucks. Quote
E-rock Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 Wait till you get into grad school, cracked. You get paid to teach the 20's hotties. You don't have to take classes every quarter (instead you schedule "thesis hours" ). You can take 4 day weekends and noone wonders where you are. The downsides. For every four day-weekend you take. There's another one where you're stuck at your computer all weekend. The stress of teaching is worse than the stress of taking classes. You are expected to produce original, creative research, as though it's the end all of existence, but if you actually publish it, nobody gives a shit anyway. Your work is meaningless. Quote
iain Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 If graduate programs (in the sciences, at least) were subject to labor laws they would all be shut down within hours. Quote
Al_Pine Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 The difference between work and school is at work you are working for the customer. At school you were the customer. Another way to think about it: The difference between work and school is at work you get paid. At school you have to pay. Quote
cracked Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 However, I firmly believe that if you busted your butt 9-5 (or 8-6 or whatever) at school like most people do at their jobs Sorry, spraying here 9 to 5 doesn NOT get your homework done! Quote
