Not at all, you voluntarily decided to do that and it seems to be working out well for you. I actually lose money myself being a GM on this site (keeping my site up). :)

It was more of a general statement for courses that require a project and then the university has full access to your work. As a student, you're both losing money (tuition costs and all that stuff) and doing free labor. In a job, you're earning.

What is also important to consider is that I'm from the U.S. so Canada might be a bit different with respect to university cost.

Re: which nerds are still in school
 

Still working on that degree, but this should be last year for me, so it's exciting ^^

Re: which nerds are still in school
 

Sounds like a fun mix of classes :)

I'm a first year PhD in Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Optimization (interdepartmental program between Math (home department), Computer Science, and Industrial/Systems Engineering).

Classes:
MATH 6121 - Algebra I
MATH 6012 - Graph Theory
MATH 6001 - Intro to Graduate Math
ISYE 7661 - Linear Inequalities
CS 6505 - Computability & Algorithms
CETL 8000 - GTA Preparation (it's a TA training course)
TA'ing for MATH 1552 - Integral Calculus

(I'm dying on Tuesdays: I TA from 8am-9, then I have four classes in a row from 11am-4:15pm. I have to explain to people why I eat lunch at 10am on Tuesdays :P)

I was just yankin ur tail my dude haha


tuition here is still 10k per year tho and we both live away from home rip

Re: which nerds are still in school
 

Late AF reply, but pretty much EVERY math class at this fuggin school has the exact same "attendance not mandatory" policy because the professors know damn well they can't teach this shit (well, at least most of them). Seriously, nice dudes all around but most can't even speak loud enough for the class, they give no examples and they teach like a full chapter ahead of the homework, even teaching past upcoming test subjects sometimes.

MyMathLab is a sufficient enough teacher.

Oh yeah and I changed my MATH235 from Tues-Thurs to a MoWeFri one that weights homework higher. So now I LITERALLY have no classes on Tuesday and Thursday.

I wish I was still in school

Re: which nerds are still in school
 

student is the easiest occupation

Re: which nerds are still in school
 

It's not, it's just much more fun. 9 to 5 work with a decent salary is way easier.

Re: which nerds are still in school

Re: which nerds are still in school
 

i love soul crippling 9 to 5 work
really puts a smile on my face = )

Re: which nerds are still in school

Re: which nerds are still in school
 

pretty sure it is, though. at least, I'd be shit at it.

Re: which nerds are still in school
 

Took one look at your schedule and then realized we went to the same university kommisar

Hope it's going well for you.

I don't miss school. Glad I never have to go back. :)

Re: which nerds are still in school
 

Same here!

Re: which nerds are still in school
 

First semester senior year of B.A. Economics
Got all my requirements done so I'm just taking 8-10 classes that seem cool for my senior year. Pretty chill and interesting.

What's less chill and interesting is applying to grad schools and/or getting a job. Bleh.


I do really enjoy school, for what that's worth. I have a good group of friends, my studies are suitably challenging and interesting, and I'm sad I only have a year left.



For those that know me, yes, I did start college in fall 2009 and will be finishing undergrad in 2018. Life takes complicated paths, sometimes.

Re: which nerds are still in school
 

also lol reuben_tate I recognize those courses as Georgia Tech. One of my friends went there.
Hope you are enjoying it, seems like a nice place for PhD in a math/CS field.
