English Major, concentration in education.
Minoring in Philosophy and French language.

lol you're college looks like a prison.

>>1860736

Practical and well-balanced. If you were a female I would ask you out on a date right now.

My education is in the College of the Patriarchy.

I wasn't accepted into this school by choice. I'm only a "whore" because they say I am, because I am a woman and all woman are made whores by a male-dominated system that makes them suck cock both proverbial and real.

I'm at the University of Waterloo, and our campus has construction everywhere too. I'm studying computer science with a minor in pure math.

>Paramedic/Firefighter
>Community college

>>1860758

>Peon level "public service" jobs

Enjoy being a slave with only half an education.

Some girls like being maids, I hear. More power to them, I guess, just as long as they know how to protect themselves in those kinds of dangerous conditions.

St. Lawrence University. Going to be a senior.

Major: Performance and Communication Arts (Focus is on the rhetoric side of the major rather than the performance side)

Minor: English (Literary Studies)

>>1860764
Let me guess,English major?

>>1860731
>>1860722
Faggots

I'm in Tally and it sucks. Hopefully transferring to USF.

>>1860764
We are all slaves. There are no earthly masters. There are no free men.

>>1860770

Econ major, also doing NROTC. Nice try, though.

>>1860772

>Thinks Tampa doesn't suck worse than Tally

Oh wow

>>1860775
Enjoy being a slave to the big banks and old rich white folk.Kind of makes you their nigger don't it?

>>1860772

What an imaginative insult. You don't exactly seem like you have the brainpower for math and physics to be honest. Weren't you claiming you wanted to be a cop last time I saw you?

>>1860778

Only doing it so I can be an "old rich white folk" that makes everyone else my bitch. Your career choice doesn't really have that opportunity, now does it?

St. John's University

I'm studying Pharmacy.

>>1860734
goin to uf in fall, was gonna go to fsu but decided i wanted to break off from all my old friends/classmates who are pretty much all going to fsu.

lol I might actually know you.

University of Arizona, going into the second year of my MFA in creative writing.

>>1860798

>State university

>Creative writing

Son, you done goofed.

>>1860787
Yeah,it'll be fun to work at a desk for 40 years making money then be too old to enjoy it.Unless of course you fuck up once and no one wants to hire you.Then,you end up in the poor house for a few years till i'm called to resuscitate your lifeless body after overdosing in an alleyway.Then,i go home to my wife and tell her the hilarity that ensued that day.Or maybe you'll make a lot of money and get a trophy wife who after 6 years decides to kill you and take all your money.She hated you the whole time.

FSU, what a dismal little place.

If I see those fucking faggots dressed up like ninjas playing with foam swords outside of Strozier again I am going to report their asses. Same goes for the little shits that somehow think it is mature to roam around screaming and shooting at each other with plastic guns. I am just waiting for those turds to have their asses kicked off campus.

That is the kind of fucking trash at FSU. The world's biggest community college. Maturity is few and far between, hard to be found.

>>1860802
>Yeah, what a waste of time. Pffft MFA from the U of A

>>1860815

What makes you think you have the business sense to be as well known as your little hippy idol there?

>>1860819

>>1860827
Unless of course, you're fully funded with a stipend and you aspire to work in academia.

>>1860827
>>1860824

You don't need an MFA to be a great writer. You either are or you aren't. Getting a Creative Arts Master's degree is a bigger money dump than a pack of Trojan condoms (and your continued existence in this world can attest to the second)

>English majors
Oh god my sides,they hurt.

>>1860815

I don't think going through an MFA program made DFW the writer that he was.

My grandfather studied medicine after working as an investment banker. Well-educated Finance major who later went to medical school and became a doctor. Worked his ass off for it.
He had the money to send my father to an Ivy League school, the University of Pennsylvania.

Do you know what my father's major was? Literature.

My father now lives in a trailer, begging for handouts from me dear old aging grampa. Oh, what do you make of that.

going to NIU (Northern Illinois University)

yep it's a shitty state school, but I applied late, I'm 21 and they gave me a nice scholarship. taking what I can get.

Undecided major, possibly Psychology with a double major or minor in Computer Science. End goal would be to get a PhD in research psych and get a job teaching part time and researching stuff.

>>1860841

who really cares?

>>1860843
he's trying to make himself feel better for having a worthless liberal arts degree
if he took some more statistics classes he'd understand why that poster is meaningless

2250. I don't really know what the acceptance rate is or anything like that. You could always come for an MFA after you graduate, though the anti-intellectuals on this board would then call you ill-adjusted or something.

>>1860941

Well crap I hope my 3.6 is good enough to get accepted. NYU is one of my top considerations for grad school.

>your future

>>1860950
I'm fairly certain your portfolio counts for a lot more then your GPA/scores.

I'm going to Towson University and I'll be majoring in English Literature. Yes, I know it's useless but I don't give a fuck. It's what I like and it's what I'm good at. I'll probably try to hook up with DoDDS so that I can go back to Europe.

>>1860956

Cool that's good to hear. I'm going to try to gain experience in video editing and make worthwhile short films or something.

I'm majoring in speech pathology.

I want a minor. I am mainly considering computer programming, Spanish, and anthropology. I am also interested in Japanese, but minoring in it might be a bit excessive. Don't know if want. But how cool would it be to study Japanese philology or somethin like that? or even to become a speech pathologist to japanese-speaking folks. I've read that people afflicted with certain types of aphasia can comprehend kanji but not kana, and some can comprehend kana but not kanji...I find this absolutely fascinating

>>1860846
Why are liberal arts degrees worthless?

Agnes Scott College

>>1860966
Not the NYU poster.

The pertinent question: what exactly have you done thus far?

>>1860966
Not the NYU poster.

So you've done... nothing at all related to film thus far? Not even shorts? Come on, dude, seriously?

>>1860846
What you get your Bachelor's in doesn't define what you're going to do for the rest of your life. My mother got her Bachelor's degree in Business. Now, years later, she's working as a nurse practitioner in a nephrology clinic.

>>1860993

Nope :( I don't have the proper resources at the moment. I would if I did. The arts dept. won't lend non art majors camera equipment.

Tufts University, international relations and economics, minor in english

I do how I do, and will be graduating into a vibrant field of work from a university that's well regarded within the IR circles

>>1860835
Keep trollan, I majored in English and I got a job with a publishing company just two weeks after graduating.

>>1861006
you are the global fact

>>1860993
>>1861001
NYU poster here.
Its actually not detrimental if you haven't done anything film related yet. Most of the required items for your portfolio are written, eg a piece of dialogue. You visual component can be satisfied with stills. They're really looking for the potential to make good film, not a history of making good film.

>>1861011
Your visual component*

>>1861011

Ok thanks man that is helpful. I'll work on it. I have 2 years.

Vanderbilt University, majoring in Computer Science. I don't really like the school that much though, so I might end up transferring.

>>1861006
Please tell me how you accomplished this. I would love to go into publishing. What English track were you on?

>>1861000
Ahh, I see. So what one majors in won't necessarily determine their career path, which makes the degree itself somewhat pointless. But the actual learning experience gained from a liberal arts education isn't pointless or worthless. The skills I've gained so far are quite useful.

I was this poster >>1860768
I go to SLU, a liberal arts institution and I've had a couple professors tell us that our major won't determine what our jobs might be. I'm on the side where I think this is ok. It allows for possibilities. It doesn't tie me down. It's so much the major as it is the skills I've learned, I think.

On the other hand, because the degree itself may not necessarily be full of worth, finding a job may be harder than usual. Though, my school does have a very good placement rate for graduates and I intend to make full use of career services in my second semester senior year. I have no idea what I'm going to do. I have no plan. I'll find something though.

I quite enjoy the liberal arts education though with the variety of courses available for me to take. While I haven't enjoyed every class I've taken, I've enjoyed the overall experience.

Granted, people will disagree with me. Saying that it's pointless, that I should have gone somewhere else. There are pros and cons for every school regardless if it's liberal arts or not and there's no point in arguing because each side will have good and bad points. It's just another debate no one can win.

>>1861038
.....Continued

It seems to me that people only go to college so that they could get a good job afterward. This is the primary motivation (culturally anyways). I wish it weren't so but it's true and I think the perception is that if you're not studying something that will get you a good job with a high salary, you're wasting your time studying whatever it is you're studying. It's expected you go to college to get a job, not to learn about things you may or may not be interested in. If you're interested in engineering no one will question you. Some people are. Some people go into engineering and other fields of the sort because they know you can get a good job if you do well enough. If you're interested in philosophy or English, well, that's nice, but what are you going to do with that? Is getting a good paying job the ultimate goal of going to college?

I'm probably missing something. I'm not very well learned on the subject. This is just what I've noticed from my own experiences and being an observant party. I'm no expert, but these are just some things I think about regarding the college education system. I'm part of it right now so this is very relevant to me.

K, I'm done.

Tufts, eh? Nice! I'm delivering a paper at a conference there near the end of the year.

About to finish my MA at Georgetown in Security Studies and embark on my PhD in October. Did my undergrad at UCL.

You'll love it here! Although I have a few lectures where CS students are in before us and most of them look like typical /b/tards and spergs when I see them coming out.

That poster is shit anyway. What it doesn't tell you is that those CEOs with liberal arts undergraduate degrees make, on the average, 50% more than the rest. You can learn economics and business OTJ. The more you know about the world the better you are able to manage a business in it.

Did some internships in networking and support technology - entirely unrelated to major. Got a great job out of it though, tech and ops ended up being a golden combo, bad economy and job market where?

Honestly, just apply to everything you can find. Craigslist, Monster, wherever jobs are listed.

A little while after you apply, SEND FOLLOW UP EMAILS. I thought sending one would make me seem like an impatient bothersome faggot, but the job I got sent me an interview offer the day after I had sent a follow-up.

NYU. It's a good school and I like the lit department, but the financial aid is fucking shameful considering that my family makes less than NYU costs every year. They should just make it completely need-based instead of giving all the privileged northeastern rich kids "merit" scholarships for having enough money to go to a prep school.

>>1862617
UF is similar in this regard. In my case, my dad makes a tad over the UF cost of attendance (counting living on campus and all that jazz). They supplement it with loans, but why not give grants to us poor people?

>>1865054

Hello, me again.

>>1865037

The notion that St. Andrews won't accept underprivileged students is a myth. I ended up favoring Edinburgh because it is consistently ranked above SA in both the quality of its undergraduate teaching and in its research, but before that I was offered an Unconditional place at both (as well as Glasgow). I can assure you that my background couldn't be less 'well off', and that if you have sufficiently high grades (all As, if you're sitting Scottish Highers - and it doesn't hurt to have Mathematics and a science, to illustrate your 'roundedness') and a good, focused personal statement - you can get into any Scottish university, for any course.

I'm the guy who you were asking (despite the guy who already answered), and my answer is pretty much the opposite - my family are fairly wealthy, I guess, and I went to a good school in England. I'm not really expecting to do anything with the degree, other than I might one day like a job in publishing, or in a gallery. I came to St. Andrews because a lot of my friends were coming here, to be honest.

>New College

Too bad you can't get into grad school with those non-graded transcripts.

I know some New College students alumni and I can tell you outright that no one takes them seriously. They are perfectly nice people but they are flakes who never learned any survival skills for the real world. New College is a joke that everyone but its students are in on.

>>1865822

is new college florida an all girl school

i never hear about any boys going there

>>1865857
>mfw you probably went to a boring ass school and rue your decision

whatever you say, bro. i have plenty of friends who got into good grad schools with no problems so believe what you want to believe. the flakes are certainly flakes but the ones that worked hard are getting a lot out of it.

it felt like one. the guys that did go had a gaggle of girls around them unless they were truly irredeemable 4channers or gay.

University of Montreal, Sociology.

>>1865880

Who's an accomplished alumni from your school?

Name one. Musicians and struggling "artists" don't count.

>>1865880

New College doesn't have a reputation for accepting any students or producing any alumni that most people would take seriously. Maybe some kid that always wears sweaty tie dyed t shirts and has a purple mohawk. Someone that just wants to play instead of work, and might claim to be an intellectual just for appearances. However, I applied there and a classmate went there. From what I understand their students are unduly pampered and not trained in the kind of etiquette or survival skills necessary to today's job market. If I worked in HR I would be extremely hesitant to hire someone that graduated from New College, much less call them in for an interview.

Viggo Mortensen graduated from my school. He's pretty notable

What are you doing with your life right now? Stocking shelves at a health food store? Peddling comic books on the street? Saying "do you want cream with that?" Or are you too much of an "artist" to work for someone else? How's not paying the rent going?

>implying you know anything about my Biology professors dumbfuck.
>Implying biology is somehow different at a Christian school than a secular one

No they don't teach creationism, and yes they taught evolution in BIO 1. I am going here because I got a good scholarship. So go fuck yourself, and maybe once you spend the better part of 3 years taking Biology courses you will be on an even playing field with me to talk about anything evolution or science related

/lit/ has got some butt-pained high school dropout trolls doesn't it?

I'll be applying to Cambridge, King's College London, Sheffield Uni and UEA in a couple months time for 2012.

Anybody that has been to those unis or live/lived in those citie, I would really appreciate any feedback on them.

Also, trying to narrow down my 5th ucas choice out of Durham, Bristol and York, I'm ever so slightly in favour of Bristol out of those three, closely followed by Durham, but coming from a fairly small town, I think I'd prefer to live in a big city like Bristol.

No, UCL is a pretty awful university (for undergraduate teaching) in every respect other than its location in London. The buildings are a mess, the social life is non-existent, the Student Union is in a state of disarray, teaching time (lectures and seminars) amounts to around 8 hours per week on average.

Incidentally, I can't imagine why you'd be using the British Library as an undergraduate. Everything you need for courses is freely available in the university libraries and I doubt you'll get permission to use any of the rare documents at the BL. Compare this to the situation with good American universities (the top ones have endowments around 10x that of UCL) where undergraduates are expected to engage with the primary sources which are part of the library collections.

Still, London is a nice city.

Sure is class warfare in here.Too much hostility with very little reasoning.As long as you got some sort of post high school education you're okay in my book.You have no reason not to in the U.S
