Jimmy Clausen........

[Fiz]

Because I had a job offer that I took and decided to let them pay for it

Oh yeah.

I've got a buddy who's having his masters in accounting paid for by Barclay's.

Good work if you can get it apparently.

Nothing better than a free education.

[rayzor]

i got a GED early so i could start college early studying music and ended up flunking out of college. went back when i was 26 and started all over studying business and stayed until i got my MBA.

eventually i'll go back and get my doctorate. i don't have much need for it, though, unless i go into teaching.

Amen. Wife was talking about getting her MSN in nursing and I encouraged her to explore other options before just "heading back"... now, she has a Director job all but locked up thanks to some creative career positioning, great people around her, and the fact that she is damn good at what she does. On-the-job training with a monster raise and new career level? Yes please.

Now that we have her set, I'll be working my angles :D

Good job Jimmy Mack! Way to learn baby way to learn!

[ladypanther]

Well done Jimmy.

Nice job Jimbo.

It seems that graduating in 4 years is starting to become a luxury. Im on course to do it but I've got a lot of friends that are on the 5 year course and through no fault of their own.

Stupid budget cuts.

If you can't complete a BA in 3.5 years you have no business being in college.

We need to stop rewarding mediocrity and catering the system to the lowest common denominators.

Oh god however will I complete 15 credit hours a semester qq

It's not always the students fault. For a while, at some Cal State schools they put a 13 unit MAX on students due to the cuts.

Not everyone gets to have the financial support you did so some have to work 1 or even 2 jobs while in school to support themselves.

But we'll ignore all that and other factors and say they are stupid!

[Ricky Spanish]

good for him.

poo I've been here 5 years and still haven't graduated yet...

in my defense, I switched majors 5 times and will admit to not being mature enough to go off on my own the first year or 2 of college though. got my act together now and plan to graduate with a 3.0 (which is remarkable considering how low my GPA was at the end of my sophomore year)

Ive actually started writing for an adult swim show.

Seriously

I finally got a seat in a class that I should have had 3 semesters ago.

Kinda hard when you need a class along with 120 other people when there's only 35 seats.

[Chaos]

I barely remember college, or my degree, which hasn't meant poo since it was awarded to me.

I had a hell of a time though..I think.
