Edumacation And Enlearnment

[Madd]

Maybe it's because the professors are nicer to undergrads?  I dunno, even though we're always dying of work, I think most of my friends agree with the sentiment that college has been pretty awesome so far.  Although that might change next year, when we're no longer freshmen to be coddled. 

I think I'm a bit biased truth be told.  The lack of any meaningful financial support meant I had to work at least 30 hours a week during the semester just to survive.  I kind of missed out on the college experience.

Then I chose Biochemistry/Molecular Biology, the most credit intensive degree at my university by a long shot, which further killed my "college experience".

Ah well, I can't really complain to much these days as everything has literally gone according to plan.  Its bizarre really.

I have a B.A. in English and a B.S. in Accounting. (I got my former employer to pay for the accounting degree - never let anyone tell you a liberal arts degree is a waste of time - apparently it qualifies you for a job in accounting. But my work history is the most random thing on the planet.)

I have a BS in Biology.  I was 9 credits short of a BA in Religious Studies as well, but just got too stressed out the final semester (my scholarship only lasted 4 years) so I dropped it back to a minor.

I've worked in academia, private sector, and for the last 6 years, government.  As we like to joke:  "I'm with the government.  I'm here to help."

Another bio major!

I quit high school, wasn't learning anything there, and joined the military to get out of my podunk nowhere backwater town which was only on the aussie map because it famously killed 15 back packers in a fire.

Went on to become a combat systems electronics engineer, an x-ray engineer and now I'm a bio-medical engineer fixing and installing hospital equipment around Australia.

Still no degrees, although I've had plenty of troops serving under me who had, and I've developed a firm belief that a university education is no substitute for real work experience. Some of us can pull it off, but not everyone can.

I guess its a variation of nurture vs nature.

I'm a forty-six year old senior at Missouri State, working on my BA in English with a minor in Psychology. I think I want to teach community college when I grow up.
