I think i want to switch majors again.
:banghead:

Go to broadcast journalism.
Seriously.
TV stations LOVE minorities, and would jump at the chance to hire an arab sports anchor.

What are you majoring in now? What do you want to switch to?

Ya! You could be Al Jazeera's first Byrant Gumbel!

I have to go to grad school, and I think I may kill myself having to do that crap for 8 hours a day. That's why I want to switch now.
-
That's a good reason, IMO. If I were to have done things differently at KSU, I probably would have gone through their architecture school. Seems like a pretty cool field to be in.

What did you do? Did you go through grad school?
-
I wish i hadn't gone through business marketing. let me tell you, that degree does great when you're a network admin. of course, then I wouldnt have worked in the Calvin computer lab.........

I went to grad school in the humanities. :blindfold: The intensity of graduate school varies depending on what you're studying (e.g. LOL@MBA), but quite often people become miserable if they're not really passionate about what they're studying. It's a whole different animal than undergraduate school.
-
Open a restaurant where they serve all different kinds of food, like chinese, italian, mexican, etc.
-
what would you do with a million dollars?
(this works imo btw)
-
Become BMW's agent. 3% of his $$ could really add up. Plus you guys would probably become friends like Jerry Maguire and #85 Rod Tidwell.

besides two girls at the same time?

My gf is in LA. She hates life and wants to jump off a cliff most of the time. Averages about 2-3 hours a sleep a night. Not kidding.
Meanwhile, I graduated in Marketing averaging 11-12 hours of sleep a night and I'm doing great!! :woot:

Pay and hours aren't the most desirable, but it's fun work. The best part is you never are doing the same thing over and over. I couldn't stand being stuck doing the same thing over and over.
-
Every job entails doing the same thing over and over. You're fooling yourself.

There are definitely different degrees of repetition. Architecture much less so than most. Happy I re-worded it?
-
Sorry, dude. Grad school killed my ability to understand Conversational English.
-
Does it kill you a little inside when people exchange "your" and "you're" freely? It does me. I almost feel the need to congratulate people who get it right.

fats, what are you thinking of switching to?

I thought about switching to an arts and science, then my parents told me to &@#% off. (and I can respect that)
So really, it's between two engineering disciplines. I just want to do something where it's easy to study. Where cracking open the book is fairly fun, and not the most painful thing in the world.
-
IE.
You should really tell your parents to &@#% off, themselves.
-
I never considered IE. Why?

Better to piss away a science background than the rest of your life.

Does anyone actually, **like** engineering? Honestly, I think my professors hate it too.
But it's a great degree.

Doing what you love is greater. You love message boarding/trash talking/sports. You could be the next Jim Rome.

There is already "the next Jim Rome" and his name is Collin Cowherd. He is just as horrible and there is no need for a third. FFF, however, could be a good sports radio guy.

Steve, just STFU while the big kids have a conversation, mmkay?

completely false. stay in engineering trips, being poor is way worse than not liking your job.

He can go back to school if it doesn't work out.
Much easier to go back to being a poor college student when you're already poor than when you have a mortgage or something.

is poker the one where you add up the #'s and hope to hit 31?
You're really good at math and all that crap, you could destroy online poker if you wanted to.
Course, I am too, that's why I'm giving it a shot. :chirp:
Top 2 guys at WSOP were asian! :excited:
Join me. Iraqi is kinda Asian, right? (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/postlist.php?Cat=0&Board=microplnl&page=0)
FWIW, I will not be message-boarding all of winter break and summer, to focus on poker. EMAW in my absense.

try betting on bball instead. you are playing against collective opinion rather than a few self selected experts, so the odds are better, imo. also, more fun.

I love Rus's staunch defense of Jim Rome. It makes me :)

it is really hard to make the decision to start over once you have time invested in careering. he should just get whatever high-paying, rel. low hours job he can now and then spend all his free time doing what he loves.

This is pretty key in career and personal life. If you get said job you can use your free time to get your chosen career off the ground without the risk of not being able to finance yourself/have health insurance/etc. If you don't want to do what you love as a career on the side you still have the extra free time and cash to do it as a hobby. I hate my job but it pays well and allows me to be on here about half of the work day and work on side projects the rest.

My all time favorite quote on this subject comes from my all time favorite ski film director: "A career is just a job you've had too long."

what about Finance fatty? - similar aptitudes/skill set to engineering but future compensation more likely to be linked to value than number of hours. biggest problem with engineering, consulting anyway, is compensation generally linked to hours worked rather than value

Rusty is right. Take a look at IE. I started in EE hated it and ended up graduating in IE. Its a great degree if you like science but don't want to be stuck in engineering all your life. It gives you the best chance to move into non-engineering and management roles in your career.

Statistics fatty.
It is halfway respectable in your parent's eyes and you can parlay it into your favorite areas: Sports and Political Polling.
Or go for broadcast journalism (might be the closest thing to what is right for you).
or just intern with Keitz after putting together a portfolio of your video work, along with some of your Kansas State message board posts and an illustration of your vast college football knowledge (could be their stats/researcher intern).
In the end I think degrees are overrated. Once you have one and can get some relevant experience and prove your skill set the area of study is practically unimportant. Intern, get good recommendations and build your resume. You've neglected the crap out of that because you thought engineers didn't need it. Start doing some sh1t on campus to give yourself some wiggle room.
