University/College

[Dylan]

I'm heading to Seattle University next fall to study Computer Science. They're about to start a 5 year Master's program, and I'm inclined to go for that. If I'm lucky I'll also get to study abroad somewhere east, preferably in China or Japan.

I'm about to finish my first year here at Texas A&M University, getting a BS in Meteorology and a minor in Computer Science.

[BRIK]

Currently doing Digital Media at TAFE (which is a College in Australia).
I need to do this course to get into a game design diploma.

Graduated with a degree in English Lit. Wanted to teach, but later learned that my GPA was too low to test for the cert. My advice for aspiring teachers - Don't let you're GPA dip below a 3.0! Mine was a 2.5, and I was told my only options are to either get my Master's or go for another BA.
I've since moved on to the IT field, going for my certifications and seeking a foot in the door at some corp's tech department. Any advice from any Racket-techies here?

I've been considering maybe going the certifications route though for awhile, has anyone here done that? I guess I'd go for the essential A+, and then I'd be interested in like Network+ and probably Cisco. Or maybe I can just find some other alternatives to school, specific training programs and whatnot. Who knows, right now I'm worried about money. lol

Studying for my Net+ right now, actually - test in a week and a half. Passed the A+ exam back in December and interested in going the Security+ route. I'll tell you what I was told - take the A+, Net+, and get your MSCDST (Microsoft's Desktop Support Tech exam.) - Those are the best three to start out with.. Any idea what avenue of IT you're interested in going?

Actually I've graduated with a master's in Library and Information Studies, but I'm considering returning for a Master's in International Relations and then pursuing a doctorate.

Wow, that's a lot of schooling. What kind of career are you looking for?

I graduated in communications (Journalism) a year ago. I'm now applying for a Master's in design (I'm not too optimistic, but haven't given up hope). If I don't get approved, I'll apply for a Master's in communication by the end of the year and then pursue a doctorate.

I'm a freshman going for my Bachelor's in Software Engineering.

[KillemallCFH]

Just about to finish up my junior year (undergraduate) as a Computer Science major (with a Math minor) at Stonehill College (very small college - if you don't live in Massachusetts, I wouldn't expect you've heard of it). Started off as a Math major, but switched after a year and a half. Don't have any current plans on going on to graduate school, but I'm not discounting it in the more distant future. I really have no idea what I want to do as far as a career right now.

Extremely non-traditional student. I finish my bachelors degree in International Studies in two weeks, a scant 9 years after finishing high school.

For some reason, a particular scene from Tommy Boy comes to mind...

[final fight cd]

i spent a year working towards my doctorate. but, grad school sucks and i dropped it like a bad habit. but since i love student loans and moving back home with my parents, i am back in undergrad, which is a fucking joke, getting a second undergrad degree.
