Now Season 2 of "Fireside" is nominated...
LT wins all the awards. GG guys.
I'll get around to nominations... EVENTUALLY!
Procrastinator? The Amanda Show? Anyone? No? Okay
The Amanda show was really funny xD it was kind of like a SNL for kids, at least in my opinion.
Gee, I never would have guessed that I wasted four years of my life studying useless subjects! I guess I'll just spend a couple hundred thousand more dollars and go back to school with a sudden understanding of advanced math and physics and become an engineer! Or maybe I'll develop an understanding of biology and chemistry and go to medical school instead!Quote:

No. My post wasn't even aimed at you. It was a general thing, not meant to talk down to you as you seem to be assuming.Quote:

On what you're saying, though, I don't think English is a worthless degree (nor do I think that's what Lugion was saying). I think it's really, really difficult for graduates to find jobs at the moment anyway because far fewer places are hiring than were even just five years ago. It's funny that you should mention Engineering, actually, since that was one of the hardest hit industries in the credit crunch. It's become much more difficult for Engineering graduates of all kinds to get employed just like all other courses. It's not a case of particular degrees being worthless: at the end of the day, very few degrees teach you things that are directly relevant to something you're going to do as a job, including Maths, Chemistry and such like. Don't beat yourself up, Feli, it's not that you made a poor choice, it's just a really, really tough time to be the age that we are. I really hope that the economic climate improves soon, and that whether it does or not you have some better luck at finding a job.
I'm riding on the hopes that International Relations and Spanish (with Political Science, German and Sociology as minors/electives) will make me employable in the diplomatic corps. Otherwise, it could be a bit difficult. I'd just have to rely on general BA skills otherwise, which, while not inconsequential, don't exactly open up a path to a specialised career.
Few do, and in the grand scheme of things few jobs require it too.Quote:

Still, good luck in your diplomatic endeavours.
I assume I'm the only one that read BA as Bad Ass XDQuote:

Either they can charge some money or sell it for free. Sounds like a good way for new writers to start out.
