School Sucks.

a bachelors is still a bachelors

its like having a million dollars in euros versus having a million dollars in pesos, one might be easier applicable but theyre still the same amount.

if civil services is anything to do with people then a psych major will probably get it over a a kinesiology major. kinsesiolgy and physiology are usually majors for people in the sports medicine/strength and conditioning field.

Oh, and college kids are always talking about passing classes. Does it really matter what grades you get in uni as long as you pass? I mean, your diploma isn’t gonna say what GPA you graduated with, right? Fill me in on this.

Smart move about CC.

GPA matters a lot here because you can loose your financial aid. In GA we have the Hope scholarship which pays for your tuition as long as you maintain above 3.0 GPA. College is expensive as hell without it. Also if you get put on academic probation, it would suck… you might flunk out and that means you’re a loser.[/quote]

Yeah, I think it’s a smart move too, but everybody acts like CC is for fuck ups and my mom is all pissy and won’t say why. It’s because she wanted to be able to go around telling her friends that her son is going to some snazzy uni and not CC.
Whatever, I’m thinking for the long run.

There’s your problem. Get a real degree that isn’t complete bullshit. Exercise physiology or biomechanics sounds right up your alley.

Thanks for sugguesting those fields of study!

I just read this and it sounds like hella fun

“Kinesiology refers to the study of movement. In American higher education, the term is used to describe a multifaceted field of study in which movement or physical activity is the intellectual focus. Physical activity includes exercise for improvement of health and physical fitness, activities of daily living, work, sport, dance, and play, and involves special population groups such as, children and the elderly; persons with disability, injury or disease; and athletes. Kinesiology is a common name for college and university academic departments that include many specialized areas of study in which the causes and consequences of physical activity are examined from different perspectives. The specialized areas of study apply knowledge, methods of inquiry, and principles from traditional areas of study in the arts, humanities and sciences. These areas include exercise and sport biomechanics, history, philosophy, physiology, biochemistry and molecular/cellular physiology, psychology, and sociology; motor behavior; measurement; physical fitness; and sports medicine. An interdisciplinary approach involving several of these areas is often used in addressing problems of importance to society. The study of kinesiology can lead to a variety of careers involving teaching, research, coaching and delivery of services related to physical activity and fitness, health promotion, rehabilitation and sports medicine. Positions are found in a variety of settings including schools, colleges and universities, public and private agencies, clinical environments, government, business and the military.”

Dang. I wonder how far switching majors would set me behind. This is for a different school at the university.[/quote]

Hate to say it, but in today’s job market, just having any bachelor’s does not hack it. A psychology degree is pretty much a great stepping stone for getting into grad school, and that is about it. My sister is a psych major, and to get any job in the field, needs a master’s degree, so is apply to grad school now.

If you are that close to graduating, I could see psychology being a really good degree to have, combined with a master’s in exercise science or whathaveyou. Knowing the underlying psychological factors, combined with knowing the body mechanics, would make you a really effective trainer/coach/teacher/motivator…

If you really hate psychology so much, see if you can make a case for making some of your psychology classes electives for the kinesthesiology degree. Sometimes a good case can be made and exceptions can be made and perhaps you will not be as far behind as you think.

I am someone who loved school. I got undergraduate degrees in English and Education, endorsements in English as a second languange, Reading, and library media before I finally left college, reluctantly, to join the “real world.” I then went back and got a dual master’s in telecommuncations and network management, and library science. I love to write papers, I love to do research. The key is to love what you do, and you never work a day in your life.

edited to add: my daughter graduated from UGA with a BS in accountancy, and just got her MBA from UGA as well…

if it makes you feel any better i go to a CC

theres 2 kinds of people who go to Universities

the people who’s parents paid for it

and the people who earned it through scholarships

just cause you get into a 4-year college doesnt mean shit if you dont work at it. you make the best with what you got.

to put it into an analogy (cause i love doing that)

you have people in prison with minimal equipment, DBs, Barbells, maybe a smith and some benches but they can be some big ass motherfuckers. why? cause they want it but you have other people on the outside who have these fancy hi-tech gyms with all the latest equipment and they just sit their reading Charles Dickens novels while they do leg-abductions.

so what im saying is, it doesnt matter, as long as you still gain knowledge in the end. fuck, you could get a University level education from a library and Podcast Lectures if you really wanted to.

plus if you go to CC you can always transfer to a state school. its probaly smarter to do CC anyway cause the credits are way friggin cheaper plus you still have time to think about what you really want to go in for.

Do I need to pick my major going into CC? Or… is it preferred that you do that? I’ve taken Intro to Business and Marketing so far, and I’m taking Business Law next year. I like that stuff a lot, so I’m pretty sure I want to double major in Finance and Marketing, to have more job opportunities and because Marketing by itself isn’t a respectable major.

Also, does double majoring cost more for tuition than just one, or is it an all-around fee and you can study as much stuff as you have time for?

But, I also like Physics a lot, but I don’t know if I’d major in it.

Having 2 years of CC to think about it would be nice. Do you do major-related classes in CC, or do you just get the mandatory stuff out of the way? And what are these mandatory classes I keep hearing of? Because I’ve already taken Physics, Chemistry, AP Calculus, etc. I don’t really see the point of going beyond that for 2 years if I want to get a business-related degree.

I realize you asked live781, but I recently graduated from community college (www.mc3.edu) and transferred to a university (www.temple.edu) and just want to throw my 2 cents in. :wink:

You don’t have to. But you’ll be better off the quicker you pick a major. there are classes you must take for you major (as you know) and there are a few you can take as a freshman/sophmore. You should probably find out what those classes are, and take them asap as they are going to be prerequisites for latter classes in your major. Delaying picking a major will delay your graduation; but if you don’t know what you want to do, don’t just pick something “willy nilly” or you’ll end up like the OP. :wink:

Depends on the school, actually. I pay per credit for up to 12 credits, then any additional classes that semester are free. Some schools you just pay a per semester fee. Some schools (like the community college I attended) are strictly per credit.

Doing a double major requires you to basically take all the classes that are required for both majors. It’s definitely more difficult, possibly take longer, and possibly cost more. Lots of people do it, though. :slight_smile:

Get a minor! :wink: You’ll have electives to fill with whatever you want. Fill 'em with physics; if you decide it gets too hard, or you hate it, you’re not really screwed. However, you need to plan for shit like this - classes have prerequisites!

I planned for majoring in computer science when I entered community college. Consequently, I picked classes from the start that would transfer over to Temple university with NO hassle. Because I planned, that’s what I got: NO hassle. I went right in as a junior.

You should be deciding what school you’re going to transfer to, and what major you’re going to take. The sooner you figure this out, and plan for it, and execute that plan, the better off you will be.

Talk to an adviser from your community college and an adviser from the university you will transfer to about this. It’s a big decision.

I like learning. I like thinking. Science is awesome. Math is awesome. I’m going to go to grad school, and excel, because I’m doing something I love.

I find it awesome to do my homework. One of the few advantages of being a nerd I guess. Heck I used to do 30 minute Maths problems just for the fun of it as part of Maths Intervarsity team.

im taking Liberal Arts, basically it focuses on MOST (because you still need a minimum number of credits from colleges that arent transferred) of the prerequisites you would need at a 4 year school. youre gonna have to take a lit class, youre gonna have to take psych or soc 101 too no matter where you go.

so the advantage is that if i want to go to a major university most of my credits will transfer because theyre very broad as oppose to if i was a physics major and changed concentration to english, very different fields so not much carryover. however, at the end of the day its still an associates, and an associates of arts may not sound all that fancy but its still a college degree which gives me an advantage over a lot of people for most jobs unless its something you need a bachelors for in which case i could go back to step one and transfer most of my credits in the process of obtaining a bachelor’s.

Hang out with people from other schools? I can’t relate seeing as my school has 5500 kids. And I wouldn’t recommend dating a being as complex as the female at this delicate age; it will lead only to heartache and headache. “Hit it and quit it,” or better yet, “Hit it and then hit it many more times” is definitely the policy to follow at this time.

I tell high school kids to go into a trades or technology program before going to university, because in the long run they’ll make a hell of a lot more money than the average university grad.

Depending on the subject and probably more true for the sciences, undergraduate degrees are more like covering the basics of a subject so that if you decide to pursue a PhD in that area you know enough to learn the more complicated things by yourself. It’s like every module you did in your final year leads to a different Research area.

So it kinda hard for them to cover everything in depth since each subject would take a PhD worth of material (or more) to cover.

You are right about the money part. Very few degrees teach you actual things that you need for a workplace. Work experience in the area is always more relevant, e.g. 2 people going for a job as an X: one with a 3 year degree fresh out of graduation and the other without a degree but with 1-3 year internship under an X. Who gets the job?

But the difficulty is always in getting the first job. A lot of places just won’t hire people without degrees, e.g. Google. For example a friend of mine was doing a degree in Law. He hated it and eventually flunked out in Final year. He then started learning programming by himself and got work experience as a programmer and web designer.

He then went for a job with Google. Got all the way through the tough application and interview process was everything they wanted. Then they were about to hand him the contract to sign and then said “all we need to see is your Degree”. They hadn’t even asked him about his degree up to that point because it was in Law and absolutely irrelevant, so he hadn’t told them that he never graduated. When he did they said that it was company policy that all hires must have a college degree.

So he had everything they wanted, was a great programmer but because he didn’t have a degree he didn’t get the job.

It is sad to say but nowadays it seems like a College Degree is like mandatory education. Like everyone has to get one even if their subject choices are something that they will never do again. It’s like the companies just consider a College Degree as a basic requirement.

Hmmm… I studied four years to get a diploma in electronics + working experience in the field of mechanical and electrical fault finding and a license to wire domestic households. I’m currently in my first year (of two) to get my HND in electrical and electronics…and I’m almost 21 years old. Then if I successfully pass I’ll probably move my arse to get a Bsc either in electronics or in automation and control…that’s another year. 7 years in total to get 1 Bsc (Hons) my friend. And it ain’t worth shit in my humble opinion. Probably after that I’ll study part time for an M.sc in some field related to electronics and programming in embedded systems…and AFTER that MAYBE a Phd.

It isn’t bloody easy, and I empathize with you but man, you gotta’ strive so that one day, when and if you have a family with kids:

  1. your kids can say my daddy is an important sumofabiatch
  2. your wife can say the same
  3. you can be of an example to your kids
  4. can make em live a happy life, hopefully with a decent salary

I’m a lazy bastard but ehhh, I love what I study. There are a lot of times where I feel the same. I think of achieving qualifications as setting a PR. It isn’t meant to be easy, but once you get it you feel an incredible sense of accomplishment-and that, in my humble opinion, it’s worth all the sacrifices and ‘boredom’. But again, I may be full of shit…

Either that or stop studying and get a shitty job.

What?

1 million pesos in 1’s = 1 million pesos = 1 million monetary notes

1 million euros in 1’s = 1 million euros = 1 million monetary notes

1 million pesos DOES NOT EQUAL 1 million euros

1 million pesos DOES NOT EQUAL 1 million dollars

$1 million in pesos = $1 million

$ = U.S. Dollars

whats so hard about that?

1 million will always be 1 million in terms of quantity but not in terms of VALUE

50 pounds of nails is the same as 50 pounds of feathers, regardless that it takes much more feathers to equal the same weight.
