Though I do fine.

Semiconductors are cool but start churning out the SUPERCONDUCTORS! Its not Science fiction its real!

Lando, been there done that my man...running numbers for the not-for-profit crowd now, trying to make the world better one person at a time...

Ah, cool kanosha. I didn't really think our type would really be much for this game but good to know.

The firm I work at actually has a lot of not for profit clients, which is where I am getting most of my audit hours.

Highschool student in my last year of study at a gifted school. (GIFTIES FTW!)

I will probably be taking Econometrics at Waterloo next year (if I get in, which I have the marks requirements)

Don't go to UW bro, go to Laurier.

Last year of grad school for school library media with a B.A. in economics.

Senor in high school. Planing on majoring in civil, mechanical, or aerospace engineering. Depends on if I get into the college I want to for aerospace. Planning on minoring in physics hopefully that can be astrophysics.

"Don't go to UW bro, go to Laurier."
Laurier Economics is my 3rd choice. You go to Laurier?

I get this:

wrong thread my bad. (I hate having multiple tabs open on the same site)

carpenter has one year on his calender left before finishing as a msc-degree in process systems engineering (aimed at chemical engineering), somewhere in the outskirts in continental europe. carpenter starts internship at one of the most renowned companies in the industry in a few months.
carpenter is wondering what to do afterwards: multiple informal job offers have been recieved, but doesn't want to reject PhD-degree right-away.

@ abge - I would say stay local and work at IBM, but I have a few relatives who work there and it is quite literally a heart attack factory, so I'd shy away from that. But it does sound like you have lots of options.

@Eden - sounds like you're going through the same trend of thoughts I was a year or two ago. High school history teacher is gonna be my backup if I don't fly as an economist haha

Living the dream as a sewage engineer (AKA garbage man). Love every minute of my job especially the perks of getting leftovers!

I'm a graduate student and research assistant in theoretical particle physics, but increasingly making the jump to theoretical condensed-matter and biophysics. In my spare time (ha, ha) I write articles for the university's satirical news paper, and some short fiction stories and nonfiction essays.

LOL Caddyshack

"Semiconductors are cool but start churning out the SUPERCONDUCTORS!"

Semiconductors and superconductors are 2 completely different things. Also, we already have superconductors.

Yeah I know that but not to the capacity of semiconductors.

"Yeah I know that but not to the capacity of semiconductors."

This sentence is pure nonsense.

Diplomat33 is either a tragically perfect example of how the system has failed, or is the reason why the system has failed. I can't decide.

lol

Head of the Math Department at a small California school.

@Caddyshack: my roommate works in a poo poo plant, and he uses that exact same term: "living the dream." Is that in the work manual or something?

Middle School Teacher in Baltimore City Schools. Well, somebody has to do it!

@ffein: Ouch...

If I do have to teach to make a living, I sure hope it's not Middle School...a disgusting three years...not a lot of fond memories... ;)
