Wooop woop!
So, now I have my MS, WTF do I do next?
Does this mean that I have to face reality,
or can I slide into some position in which
I can continue to hide?

this is america, the land of opportunity.
-
So you have a MS degree in Computer Science?
-

Yeah. And the desire to hide for a thousand years.
this is america, the land of opportunity.
For those willing to seize it.
I'd be productive, if needed.
But, without feeling needed
(NPD here), I just don't give
a fuck.
-
Have you considered getting a Ph. D.?

Have you considered getting a Ph. D.?
It was the intention. I fucked up too much to
convince anyone that I was of any worth. :violin:
-

Do what i did, and go into rehab.
But well done & i would advise not thinking about teaching schoolchildren.
-
:woohoo: :party: congrats, cal! Nothing to contribute as far as "what to do" with the MS, it's not my field.

I don't think that they have rehab from school, do they?
Actually, I'm really considering teaching HS. :laugh:
-
HS = high school ?
If so, then good luck to you. It's a hard game.

Worse than that, in NYC, where it's real tough.
But, my sense of duty might be of some use
teaching. It sure gets in my way in other things.
The only real worry, is that I just can't make
myself understandable, even to people here. :laugh:

You know, you might be better off in a tough inner city school. At least they may know about the meaning of respect. Some kids born with a silver spoon in their mouth have no idea; are not disciplined and you can't slap them around like you could 20 years ago.
The kids aren't the only problem though, its the other teachers too.

Yeah. But, I figure I'll just threaten to cut myself
if anyone gives me a hard time. :laugh:
Seriously, I can be pretty damned intimidating, at times.
I'm a LOT more worried about the teachers/admin. They
might have the sense to have me arrested.
-
congrats dude :laugh:
-
Congratulations on your degree. You can now succumb to the dark side, and perhaps be considered for employment by Microsoft.

Yeah. I was hoping for that, IF I went through with
the PhD. Without it though, I fear I'd be stuck in something
I'd be lousy at. Might try for a tech writing job though.
Thanks all.

Congrats on the degree calandale. Are you going to get a job, a wife and 2.3 kids now?? ;D
-
Good fer you congratulations! :plus:

Have the wife (though I just can't seem to find her - kinda like
flo and his sister). Worried a lot about the rest. I'm figuring it's time
to become a hobo.
-
congratulations, calandale. :clap:
dunno if i'd say it was a good idea to go into teaching, though. it's a fucking tough job, with not much in the way of thanks, and requires loads of people contact and social skills. not saying it can't be done (i'm living proof), but it really is a strain.

Yeah, I know, I know. I just don't know how I'm
going to find a sense of duty to working for some
company though. My biggest hope is at a community
college, as an adjunct or something. Whoopee! Crap
pay, but hell, maybe some rich girl will seduce me.
-
i doubt it - you don't get many rich people at community colleges.
what about research? ideal career for an aspoid. or some sort of development? (i know very little about pooters, so don't ask me what sort of careers there are). get some info from your uni's careers people, too - they know the sorts of things you can use your degree for.
-
Congrats calandale. I hope you get a job you can at least tolerate.

Research was what I was hoping for,
but unlikely to get what I want without
the doctorate. Not sure that I have the
staying power, anyhow. Development is
what I was trying to avoid, by going to
grad school. There are tons of jobs; before
I came here, I was looking for one, but didn't
find anything which wanted me enough. Problem
is, I'm a LESS capable coder by far, than when I
got out of the BS. Two years was just enough time
to lose a lot of enthusiasm.
But, something will work out. Always does.

At 10 years old the question of what do I want to be when I grow up seems exciting.
It's worse when that question keeps popping up and you still can't figure it out!
Congrats...and I hope a clear direction comes soon.

Yeah. The cool part though, is that of not growing up.

Could you apply for Ph. D. programs at some different universities?

Yeah, but I doubt that I could get in.
I pretty much screwed the pooch

A little over 3.5. Plus, no one would
recommend me. Maybe in 10 more years.
