F... School Work
Just wondering if anyone out there is dealing with end of the semester school work. I have three papers due in the next week and a half. And to top that off, I had a job interview today (good stuff, but it meant more work since I had to do some research and prepare a presentation).
Well good luck to everyone and feel free to vent your school work frustrations here :cool-smil

Re: F... School Work
I have 1 take home exam and... That's it. lol
Well tomorrow I have a group project where we're recording our group doing a 1-1 counseling session. But other than that and the take home exam, I'm done for the summer!

Re: F... School Work
Tomorrow I wrap up my last presentation. Team projects + everyone having a full time job = tough. Once I finish that presentation one more take-home lab project which is probably only 5-10 hours of work.
The farther I get in my masters program, the more I want to quit. Two classes left!

Re: F... School Work
I would give up my right arm to be back in college complaining about end of the year school work!!!!!
STAY IN SCHOOL! STAY AS LONG AS YOU CAN!!!

Re: F... School Work
AMD -- have you ever worked, then gone back to school? It's awful. You have the 40+ crowd that asks terrible questions or prefaces each statement with "As a mother", when everyone is working syncing schedules is damn near impossible, you have little/no time to really hang out with friends. I just hope it opens some doors for me in the future. My faculty is really top notch (learning about managing a government program from a 2 star general who ran some high profile projects is damn interesting.)
As much as I complain -- I may end up forking more money over for a PHD eventually.

My other post was mainly about the fact that I would love to go back and be an undergrad. I can honestly say I was better at being a college student than I've been at just about anything else I've ever tried.

Re: F... School Work
I don't regret going back for my masters, but I don't miss it either!

Re: F... School Work
I regret taking a year off between my master's and PhD. Although the year off was nice.

Re: F... School Work
I know three people with Master's none of their careers flew off the charts after or since they got theirs. My wife included.
I always say experience trumps education.

Experience is definitely really important, but education can open some doors. And if you can bring experience and education to the table, bonus. |

I think the black and white answer is education and hard work get you to the top but in reality that is far from the truth; so many other poltics involved. I have a buddy in Marriott that is very far up same age as me. We started at the same time or close to it. Dude failed out of UMD has no degree but just straight busted his a$$ and if I guessed he is well over six figures. My uncle was a VP with Gucci just had a HS degree. My cousin (his son) got kicked out of Penn State for selling drugs; he is now a big time player at Couch with their POS machines; making in the $200k range. IF you got something like actually useable knowledge that you can apply to the real world form a Master's versus just another piece paper with your name then it is of value. Just my 2 cents. If my wife's degree was not paid for by her company she too would agree it was a waste but she enjoyed the process of getting it.
