well congratulations on your degree. i think BA sounds good too. now i;m thinking why i decided to go on BS adv psy rather than just taking BA psy, so now i’m attending a zoology class. rrr.

so good luck to you. ^^

Thanks for the sniper check bro =)

Seriously though, get out and about and see where life takes you. I took two years off for “self-discovery,” army and anime (it’s research for anthropology, I swear) before the evil Law School.

Ah good old “at government expense”…I trust your Orderly Room-Fu is good…

@catface210
Good to hear that some people were responsible to pay off for their homes, and in Hawaii no less.

@Jonathan Tappan
Time will tell…

@Kip
I can understand where the Dean’s office was coming from though, they simply had too many people staying beyond the four years and the out in four programs has produced few results. You could do what I did, work for Uncles Sam, and he’ll pay for it, or at least most of it…

I am in that limbo state of ‘job’ where at college I did a subject, didn’t like it, did another, screwed up and didn’t work hard and guess where I am now? Would like to go back to college but a: can’t afford it. b: not sure if they will accept me.

Never thought it would get to this stage several years down the line. I only have myself to tick off for being an idiot. So in conclusion – congratulations again for the degree (regardless of BA/BS – although I can understand the ‘art’ can be a thorn in the side) and also a job.

@Ian K
I suppose one will probably find who they are in college, it helps to have a better grasp of what you want before hand though. I am sure the Reds would like to negotiate with you for your substandard wage at the lead based toy factory next to the fake milk farm…

The rest of us will not fear the Red Menace.

@tommykn
Moyashimon and Fancy Lala.

@animekritik
The only edge I have over the rest of the BS guys is that my English minor implies that I can communicate better in writing…

@Polaryzed
Indeed I am trying to move furiously forward I just hope I don;’t go off a cliff…

@Cokematic
Depends on what kind of college you go to, some are more stringent than others I know the Engineering majors have no unit cap at all, so they get to have more classes in whatever if they want to. The other thing you also have to consider is if you can afford to stay in college longer than necessary.

@Mel
If only I lived in Euro-land, ah well different strokes for different folks, but I get the sense that I’d much prefer the way you guys do things.

@Eonir
Now there is an idea emigrate to one of Prachett’s stories. It’d be an interesting experience to say the least.

@Erin
I had very high hopes when I transferred from Chemistry to Microbiology, ah well at least I got away with one major change. If I were to go into agriculture I’d prefer to use something MECHANICAL.

@cspdelta
I have had enough of studying and taking midterms for now maybe someday in the future, but for now I’d rather just work instead of cram.

Grats on your promotion, even if I am obligated as enlisted to salute you in the field.

@Ashley
I’ll soon find that out I suppose, I hope your job search will go or had proceeded better than mine.

@soyahoney
my university is already populated the more people they kick out the door the better it will be for the university as a whole, not many get out in four any more for the sciences, I was on my victory lap, only they did not want me to complete the fifth lap.

@august
Unless the professor in question is like Muto or Hasegawa I’d sooner decline. Hehe hazing, how bad can it be? It’s probably like boot camp only I can shout back.

@ItAintEazy
You and me both it seems, ah well I guess having my foreign language requirement don counted against me in this case.

@olivia
If only we could go back to the past…

@grendel
Apparently you can, supposedly it was meant for the sleaze bags who went out to promote drugs and pre-med guys. Ah well if this BA is from one of the more venerable UCs in California it must be worth something… I hope.

@catface210
I hear it’s expensive, but the hard reality is Uncle Sam cares not where I want to go, but where I need to go…

@queryman101
Moyashimon, it’s fairly recent so you can get subs.

@lelangir
I am dog tired of studying and tests, if need be I’ll ride this one out in the military, at least I am making money instead of losing money or ate best breaking even…

@Kitsune
Indeed if I knew then what I knew now I probably would have been better off. Still I really dislike the word Art…makes me seem like a hippies.

@TJ
Me neither though my professors say it makes no difference in the greater scheme of things. i hope they are telling the truth though.

People would be much more interested in your experience and skill rather than the second letter of your abbreviated degree. Don’t waste your time “eating yourself up” over it.

The attachment of prestige to BS over BA is BS

Yes, it is important to plan your coursework, but it is also essential to really understand what kind of career you are heading for. Many people enjoy taking classes in a certain area, but the actual work may be very different from taking the classes. That is why it is very important to do some shadowing/volunteering/internship to really understand what it will be like in real life. Also it is important to understand that job opportunities for people with certain bachelor degrees are very limited and one has to pursue graduate or professional school to get a decent position.

It’s Moyashimon, believe it or not. I just used Google
