So I've been notified that I got Magna Cum Laude...

[SDSUMarcus01]

Wow... that just goes to show that people at SDSU are f-ing idiots because I don't try that hard.

I'll be getting a degree in Finance in May... and then I'm thinking of finding a different career path.

[MNJetter]

No fair, I wanted to graduate cum laude....tried so hard, but in the end, I was just happy that I managed to recover from my freshman-year bout of depression and raise my GPA to 3.0 by the end of university.

[SDSUMarcus01]

Thanks.

I guess I'm just bitter becasue I hate finance with a passion. It's the meaning of useless middle man.

[MNJetter]

Oh yeah, congratulations too. I'm sorry, I really meant to say it in my first post, but I was in the middle of planning lessons here at the office, and it was about an hour between when I wrote part of the post and when I glanced at it and thought "oh, wow, I should have posted this," and pressed the send button without looking at it again.

:gift: Congrats!

CURSE YOU TO THE FOULEST BOWELS OF HELL YOU PUERILE SHITFUCK I WILL SAW OFF YOUR HEAD WITH MY TEETH AND STUFF YOUR INSIDES WITH VITROL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME.











I hate essays.

Heh, congrats.

I will say this though (and I'm not trying to take a jab at you or anyone else) that it is just finance. I've been friends with several business majors and I thought many of the classes were terribly easy compared to engineering. There were more subjective grading instances, but for the most part the work was not hard at all.

Finance = you get paid very well to do not that difficult repetitive work that is applicable anywhere in the world.

Man, it could be worse. You could have studied psychology (as I did) - the most pointless non-applicable degree ever (after philosophy). :-p

So, don't do yourself down :) Work out how to make it pay for you in the shortest possible time.

At least you get to read people's minds. :whoops:

That's why I said: "Wow... that just goes to show that people at SDSU are f-ing idiots because I don't try that hard."

I had one accounting class where my raw grade (no curves) would have been a C. But because nobody else knew what to do... I had the second highest score in the class (I was beaten on two tests by an accounting student from China, I beat her on the final though, HAH). He actually curved TWICE. The first time out of the highest score, the second time to get the number of C's he wanted. On a multiple choice test, like 13 or 14 out of 40 was AVERAGE.

I had another class where one test was out of 150 pts, but he gave a 40 point curve. By the end of the semester I had over 100% in the class.

Those are just two examples, pretty much every class has been like that. I won't even get into how bad these guys are at applying theory or just remembering the simple formulas. If I went to school with people who actually cared I'd be a C student. But I don't, so I'm magically an A student.

Eh, I'm not going to work in that field, at least I don't plan to. I'd rather take a poor paying teaching job or join the military as an officer than work a finance job.

I've got moral issues with it... that and it bores me to tears. I'm not all about money, I just want to make enough to live comfortably.

It makes me wonder sometimes. Are the people who struggle with business stupid or do they just not care? I've met some people who I honestly thought would never be more than a housewife because they were that dumb. On the other hand my brother is smart but he has just no concept of responsibility. So which do you think there were more of? Stupid people or irresponsible people?

[SDSUMarcus01]

The bastard son of both. I mean I don't really care about business but I've learned a lot and enjoyed a little bit of it (more on the economics/international/accounting side)... but you have some people who really are just stupid and irresponsible.

Whenever I have a group project I feel like this:

:bang: :bored: :duh: :frypan: :eyepop: :fever:

Thank God I only have one paper left, it's a "group" paper but even the other members will admit that I did all of the first and second ones (and the presentation).

Nah, art's worse. You can become a psychiatrist and earn big money.
Art gets you absolutely nothing. Professional artists don't NEED the training, so they wouldn't major in it anyway.

oh, and congrats, guy.
