Master's in computer science, second semester.



Image analysis, Graph Theory, Computer Vision and Machine Learning. The time slots are horrendous but at least all courses are related to my research.

I'm still in school, but I'm a music teacher instead! Graduated with my music education degree just this spring

Finishing up my Bachelor's in Graphic Design this semester. Graduating in December. Pretty light semester to finish up on, got 3 classes and only have to show up 2 days a week in the evening. Which is great since my last couple semesters were 18 credit hours (6 classes) and all were pretty intense in terms of workload. Happy to be finishing up with low stress.

I took (and got a D+ in) a class where the prof said that over 50% would not pass, and if you're not going for at least a master's degree you're wasting your time.

I don't like him very much.

You'll get there someday! Enjoy your responsibility-free lives while you can; I didn't believe it when I was younger but middle/high school really does have potential to be some of the best years of your life.

Thank you for leaving me out of the quotes.

Although it was surely unintentional, I'm neither responsibility-free, nor in the best years of my life.

Hopefully.

Otherwise I'm in for a hell of a life.

I know you're too much of a pragmatist to get anything out of that kind of thing which is why I didn't quote, but that said I'm sorry, and sorry your youth isn't going swell, friend.

I loved my undergrad Information Systems class. I imagine the graduate level course would be even better.

I have thought about going back to do my Master's in Accounting, but right now I'm working in underwriting and really enjoying it.

Yo man, it sounds like you're one of the people that are suffering from the common tough phase known as "Junior Year."

As someone who is almost done with their first quarter Senior year, I can say that it is remarkably better than Junior Year.


Just be patient, hang in there, and all of that struggle will eventually pay off!

I print and design stuff for schools at work, does that count?

Graduated with an advanced diploma in graphic design back in 2013 (equivalent to an associate's in U.S.). Been working in the printing industry since 2014, but my position is still as a graphic designer / design specialist.

How the IS course is structured is the same as how this professor teaches his undergraduate course. Which works pretty well for online/on campus mixed courses, but there is very little hands on material.

First week of grad school I hated because it felt completely different and just seemed weird. But it's actually enjoyable and I like it a lot. If you really want to go back to school, or just want your 150 to sit for the CPA exam, I would so far recommend it.
