And I thought it was incredibly cold here! eek It's currently 36 degrees Fahrenheit. That is 2 degrees Celsius. It's actually getting below freezing tonight. @_@ (Remember, I live in Alabama, so I'm not very used to cold weather. This is about as cold as it gets around here.)

Uncle Kenny Admiral Skippy How many more years are you guys going to be in school for before it all pays off? And is it -30 cold? xD (whatever that would be in Fahrenheit) Next year is hopefully my last. It's 14F but feels like -5F so I think that makes it -10C and -20C. Something like that. So not as cold, but still cold. Yeah, that is still cold. Well that's good. What are you working towards again?

lilchibiusa Oh sorry! I forgot about that other question. I'm working towards my BA in English. I should be graduating in May. 3nodding Cool. What kind of job are you going for? Personally I always see that as the big thing. There's no point spending all that time to get a degree if you don't know what you want to use it for.

Actually, it doesn't matter as much what you get your degree in as long as you have one. Employers hire people with all sorts of degrees for jobs you wouldn't expect. biggrin But, I think that I would like to get into editing, publishing, or something like that.

People irritate me. Because of the double gold booty grab thing, I thought that I might be able to make a bit of gold off of action. All of the good tanks are full, so mine actually has a shot. So, I set up a thread, and put in the title "SETTING UP - DO NOT POST!!!" and I reiterated not to post inside. I got almost to the bottom, and some random person posted her crappy tank and immediately logged off. gonk I don't know if people are just illiterate or if they just like to be jerks. I wish that I could delete it, but I can't. xp See what I mean?Kenny, you couldn't hit the delete button, could you? sweatdrop If not, I seriously hope that person gets on and removes it. It's an eyesore! Edit - Thanks again Kenny! xd

What's the point in hiring someone with a degree if they don't know the work? "So you haven't got a clue about how to be an agent for the IRS, but it says here you majored in English. Welcome aboard." Maybe it's because I'm a practical person and I don't see the point in doing something if there's nothing to gain through it. So if I went to university to get a major in English, I would want a job that would put that degree to use. If I don't use the training, why bother wasting the time to get it in the first place? There's just so much wrong with the school system on every level, from kindergarten up to university.

There's just so much wrong with the school system on every level, from kindergarten up to university. I actually know of a theatre major working for the Space and Rocket center (a sub-branch of NASA) who is doing stuff completely unrelated to his major. I think the main thing about having a college degree is that it shows that you are intelligent, trainable, and dedicated enough to stick it out for 4+ years of grueling work. The courses in your major help, but they don't do anything too specific to help you. In fact, it is not at all uncommon for English majors to go into law. The critical interpretation skills that you gain in the English major are very useful for building court arguments or refuting them. 3nodding College doesn't train you to be able to go into a job knowing all you need to know to succeed. It gives you the skills to be able to adapt and succeed in many different jobs. biggrin Think of college as something designed to give your reasoning skills a huge boost.
