I'm not a complete natural but these are things I know I could have been good at if I really gave a shit.

I think my last few words told me everything I needed to know though...

I've probably smoked all my math skills away @.@

I smoked all during calculus I-III, differential equations, discrete mathematics and made A's in every class but I was broke and couldn't smoke when I took theory of probability and failed lol. Engineering degrees are a hell of a lot of work though

How is Calc III and Differential?

I'm a computer science major, so my calc ended at Calc II and I don't have to take differential.

I have an engineering degree.

I am going after my PE license in mechanical engineering.

I wish I would've gone into finance though. More money there.

If I could do college again I'd do astrophysics or biology of some sort (marine perhaps?).

Too bad I didn't find out what kind of stuff I liked until after I graduated :p At least I'll be able to make a decent living with the degree I got.

It sucked for me because I took Calc I and Calc II about a year apart.

And I took Calc II in the summer for eight weeks, kissed that summer away (although I got a B+). I don't remember all that much, it was a year ago and I haven't really used calc in anything else other than Physics, but I'm sure if I had to I could re-call the shit in about a week and look over my old notebooks.

You prob won't use it in Computer Science breh.

Calc 2 and on were needed for the higher level thermodynamics and electrical classes. RIP mastershake

Yea, I've kinda come to terms with that.

But I'm taking linear equations for one of my elective math courses, which is pretty likely to be useful somehow in someway along the way.

Exactly. My cushy ass accounting job allows me to browse gaf/play OOTP all day. I'm pretty sure shake has studied more for his past finals then I ever did in my 4 years of accounting.

Yeah I have a computer engineering degree but I learned pretty quickly that even though engineers make a lot of money to start, they plateau pretty quickly. Well, unless you go into management.

Differential equations is probably my favorite class ever. That shit was so much fun! It was pretty hard though.

Oh and Calculus 3 was pretty much 1 and 2 in 3 dimensions if I remember correctly. It was kinda hard but my teacher used a 15 point scale and I made a 100 on the first exam which kept my grade up the whole semester.

Then just go into management. Don't get me wrong I am doing OK but I am not pulling down 7 figure bonuses and crap like that.

Diff EQ was surprisingly easy I thought. It's a pretty useful class moving forward for engineering (at least my branch of engineering). I enjoyed it.

Calc 3 is lame and I don't even remember what i learned from that class. I use a lot of techniques from calc1/2 and diff EQ for my higher level stuff.

Diff eq was annoying but iirc it was helpful for P-chem, man FUCK that class!! -_-

I've heard horror stories about P-chem. For my reservoir fluids class(essentially our Thermo II) our professor had us doing stuff you learn in P-chem. Man that class was absolute hell

Yup. On IT side. Going on 5 years now.Thinking of going back fot masters and getting a O&G centric degree. That way I'd have IT and O&G covered. Those two would travel prettty well.

I did. I'm just saying, people fall in love with starting salaries and they don't realize that the growth isn't what you'd maybe find doing something else.

Travel is the best part if O&G, which is why i decided on PETE. If i can land a job at a service company I'll be all over the place. That's the dream at least.

I swear if I end up with an office job im going to cut myself

gotta get that per diem

Locum tenens is when you travel around the US and you work in a location for a certain period of time (as short as 2-4 works to as long as a year). Get paid more per hr, plus they pay for all transportation, living expenses, etc. Should be a good way to see the US and earn some cash

As for your ballsack, I will refer you to my friend FMT, he is a master of the nether regions!!

Yeah it's a pretty great thing to do when you're young and don't have a family. I get offers for contract work around the country all the time but I don't want to see my kid only two days a week. I wish I took advantage of it when I was younger.

In other news, on this episode of crow's workout corner. Might be done with benching 240. Back down to 225 for now. Nothing is going right. ;_;

Your life force is growing weaker without the Dota. Soon you will whither up and die. Just like how we lost Ror's.
