Its such a good feeling....

So today I took my last final, ever (I hope). Long 8 year road for a bachelor's degree. Now the job hunting begins (as soon as I find out if I am really graduating). At least now I have time to get my truck back on the road.

Congratulations!
I remember the day well. Once I got over the anxious feeling of thinking I had to study for something, I enjoyed it.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Thanks! When I grow up I want to be rich and probably not a mechanical engineer even though that's what my degree is. In other words I will go where the $$ is when I grow up.

Congrats Lewis! I think I may need professional counseling after my final today. I still have another year... so I am extremely jealous of you!

 

[Chevycrew]

Congrats

 

[Thursty]

Congrats. I remember the relief I felt after graduating. I do miss the social experiences though.

Yeah, MEs definitely don't get rich being MEs. I'm so glad I decided not to use my degree that way. I love that stuff, but spending my life at a desk is not for me. Just don't grow up.... :greg:


Congrats though, its not an easy thing to get!

Congrats. Now you have "the knack"

You know, it is a great feeling!!! Granted, it didn't take us 8 years, and I'm still considering grad school, but Kami and I just finished up 2 degrees in accounting

 

[Bart]

Congrats, it's a great accomplishment.

 

[ChestonScout]

Thats awesome!!!


I wish I would have went to school. Even if you dont work for what your degree is, you will always have it to fall back on.


And as for getting your truck back on the road......get it back on the trail first, its WAY more important :greg:

In my experience, all graduates of engineering school who had The Knack beforehand, lose it at graduation as well as all other forms of common sense. Just ask anyone who has to work under one.

Congrats Lewis. I can honestly say I know the exact feeling your going through right now, you hold it better than me though, I turn into a crotchety grump

Celebrate by sleeping in past that 8am Fluids class time

X12 on the feeling of walking off campass for the last time and not looking back, I didnt even go back for the grad ceremonies.

Some of us didn't lose the knack (or common sense) when we graduated from engineering school. People keep sending me links to that video because I'm always tearing stuff up and fixing it.

Congratulations!!! that is a huge day...

Are you walking tomorrow? I am assuming the U.

I know a company hiring in American Fork for a staff accountant.

Maybe I'm emotionally barren (been accused), but I felt kind of indifferent about graduating. I need to go back and get an MBA so I can compete for jobs that I don't want that pay more than $12 an hour

congrats on getting finished though. It is a big accomplishment, especially in a technical field like engineering.

 

[mesha]

Congratulations. It was a good feeling.

...get an MBA...

Just finished. Lots of work... I walk tomorrow too..
