I'm one of the dumb asses that is paying for college
And today's a huge day for me. I just submitted my last assignment to my professor and after 2 years of holding a full time job and going to school full time, I’m kind of lost.

Very anticlimactic, especially when I have to admit that I doubt this degree is going to help me in the future. It hasn't helped many people at all.

Just goes to show that book smarts are no guarantee of common sense

My masters degree has done me a little good. Now I'm called on to try and fix any and all computer problems my friends and family have. But no job. Not even a lousy minimum wage help desk job.

 Quoting: Open Your Eyes


oh i learned a lot but surprisingly what i learned was about myself and what i can and can't handle LOL.
its been a long road and i'm glad i did it but now i'm just kind of at a loss. i haven't had 'nothing' to do for years and its a weird, scary feeling.

i've heard that a lot. i'm fortunate i have a job right now but its a job i had prior to the degree and i was hoping it would advance my career. not looking that way right now, my company is just managing to hold steady and if they retrench i'm going to be just holding on

Last time I went back to college I did an I.T. course; wound up vice president of the student union.. developed an interest in bettering my communication & diplomacy skills through that, and eventually started working in the care industry

i didn't know when i started the degree the finances would be in the shitter, statistically people would be fucked and well the law didn't care.

Re: I'm one of the dumb asses that is paying for college
Actually because you have worked full-time while going to school, I believe you WILL find a job. The fact that you could manage all of that speaks to your character. You will have better opportunities than most new graduates.

I wish you the best of luck.

Good for her!! That’s awesome. It was that 40 mark that really got me to go back. Now I can say I was 41 when I finished the course work and will be 42 at my graduation ceremony in June. I’ll be the oldest in the graduation class laugh
