LOL Schools great. I went back at age 38 and I'm more than half way through my Mechanical Engineering course.

Ya I hear ya. 28 hours of school a week, at least double that for homework and assignments were looking at 60 hr weeks, but it's worth it in the long run.

Keep trucking my friend. It will all pay off.

Oh well I will be heading off to school soon.

Later guys

I want to go back to school, but I am not sure where to go..... where do you guys go? I want some sort of technical degree, but I am not sure what yet. I am about to move to Greenville, SC, so if you know of any good tech schools in that area, please let me know.

THANKS!

you mean that $30K piece of paper, it won't do me any good unless I give the school another $15k or so, to get ANOTHER piece of that expensive stuff, seems like a ripoff to me, what the heck have I been doing for the last 8 years?????

Hang on...let me do the math here....

$17,700.00 a semester * 2 semesters a year = $35,400.00

$35,400.00 * 4 years = $141,600.00

Then we have to add in the one course a summer cause I can do 5 courses a semester with working full-time so:

$213.00/credit * 3 credits * 4 summers = $2,556.00 + $141,600.00

Total: $144,156 for one little f#$king piece of paper...that does not say pass go and go directly to $75,000.00/year job. And you know, half the stuff I am learning right now will not do me any good in the field I want to enter in anyway...What will knowing Assembly Lang. or knowing how to wire a circuit or read a timing diagram do when I am a DBA?

Hey you know I always wonder where that money goes for my school cause the computers in the "Computer Lab" are still running Win 95! yes I said Windows 95, $35,400.00 a year school and the labs run Windows 95...that's all I have to say about that.

Just because they teach you assembler it doesn't necessarily mean they are teaching you it so that you go off and write programs in it. If you can program in assembler competantly then you have a good understanding of problem solving and logic as assembler has no concept of loops etc. you have to work out how to create a loop yourself (as you most likey know). Same goes for being able to wire a logic circuit.

If two people came for a job with us and one could program in assembler and the other could not, then I know which would be getting the job. Anyone who cna program assembler has my respect, especially if they can program assembler for x86, certainly the later revisions. Personally I can program in 8085 assembler and that's difficult enough as it is to write anything moderately complex.

Year 1 - School 1 $12,000 (covers tuition, room/board, computer) + $2650 (additional)

Year 2 - School 2 $8904/semester * 2 = 17808 + books ($500 for both semesters + $100 parking pass +$75 shot + 200 (additional fee's) [notice housing hasn't been including yet]

Year 3 - School 2 (tuition increase) 19,200 tuition + 500 for books + 100 parking pass

Year 4 - School 2 [same as Year three] + additional semester

rent nor food is included during years 2-4
or internship at NYC for years 3&4
or misc. expenses

rough grand total=

$82883

and if I just depended upon my diploma and a nice office job I'd plummet right into the wealth-poor segment of the population

schools (well uni \ college) isnt that bad. bit hard at times if your working full time and running a business at the same time but uni by itself is a doddle. 60 hours a week is barely a working week let alone considering over half is not in class.

Yes, school sucks. I am working very late. I hope to be sleeping soon. Damned metaphors and verbed images.

School mean to be a challenge . You get extra knowledge at the end of it. Good luck. Hope you find way to relief your stress. (Try doing some exercise to keep your brain fresh)
