Indeed, Office Hours are a myth

When I was in uni all my professors were nice. But I was studying Arts so they were all kinda eclectic and crazy and cool.

See in engineering school they're all from India and are racist against you.

Hey lateralus where did you go?

dac · 11-14-2008, 04:05 PM

Post grad is the way to go. As a civil engineer it's not even worth trying to get a job unless you have your masters.

Are...you serious? There is a 94% job placement of graduating bachelor engineers, and they make $55,000 on average, starting salary.

I have no intention of staying in school for four more fucking years.

To put it into perspective, most professions are starting to grow increasingly competitive in tough economic times, but engineers are almost unilaterally in demand, and any further investment in technology will only increase that. Pennsylvania has one of the lowest costs of living in the United States. And the United States, as a whole, isn't that bad. You're probably thinking of California...or somewhere not in the United States...

I graduated from Monash this year

But I'm probably going to be back there next year to complete my postgraduate studies!

How was it?
I've applied for arts all around the place
but I'm not sure whether or not to go for that one or Melbourne

There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
