Hey guys, I've been here for quite a while and it seems to me like there are about three major categories of people on this board (really two, but occasionally the third appears)

Anyway: These categories are 1. High school fags who don't know anything. 2. College students. 3. (the rarest) people who actually work.
ITT: which category we are, and what our major&year is or what our line of work is.

Me: Chemistry major, starting sophomore year in August.

>> No.3253451

Environmental Engineering major, just starting up in a few days. I generally don't post in any threads that don't have to do with something I've studied unless it's theoretical "what do you think it'd be like if the world went into an ice age!" threads because I realize I currently know next to nothing.

>> No.3253454

College. Third year. Psychology & Neuroscience.

Used to frequent this board, now I might just visit it once a week. It's terrible nowadays. Real shame since there used to be great discussions and knowledge on this board.

Just graduated high school, looking into majoring in psychobiology at UCLA if I can get into it after community college (I know there's a lot of hate towards CCs here, I'm going for financial reasons, I'll be going for only 1.5 years any way due to dual credit and stuff.) But I'm also looking at law enforcement degrees and computer science degrees. I might look into neuroscience as well.

However, I still know nothing, so I'll probably change in the future.

What was getting the CPA like? I've done CS engineering and pre-med, but I don't see a job that I would like for the rest of my life.

I'm lazy. I would ideally like a job that payed ~$100k and was low stress.

Was CPA stressful?

The work is not difficult, but it is very tedious. I worked at a medium sized firm and I was making 100k after I got licensed, but I still despised everything about the job. It was all very meaningless. Maybe I'm just too narcissistic, but I feel like my mind can be better applied in a more challenging field.

In my opinion, not every HighSchooler is a fag. The fact that you get accepted in College show others you aren't one.
Those who aren't fags in HS go to College (and then show everybody they aren't fags). Otherwise, they don't, and they are fags.
What I mean is every HighSchooler is considered a fag, when not everyone is...

In my country (France), the punctuation signs in more than 2 parts (like ; : ! ? etc.) have to have a space before AND after, whereas punctuation signs with only one part (like , . ' " / etc.) must only have a space after.
This rule is used (i think) in more than 1 country, I even think that's an European convention, and >>3257204 maybe also lives in Europe (maybe also France, but I hope not :p )

Actually, good question. Instinctively, I would say a "fag" is someone not welcome (since the definition definitely isn't "gay") and who disturbs, pretending to know, without knowing he's an ignorant.

Hello there French guy, your country doesn't use spaces before interpunction, it uses protected spaces. If no protected space character is available, no space is to be used at all. Also, no other country does this, since no other country had italics per default on running text.
