I graduate from ECU with a degree in English on Friday. I'm applying to graduate school and have some professors in my corner, but I'm starting to get tired of school. I want to take my education as far as I can, but I am 25 and I really would like to start the next phase of my life. Is the masters worth it? I mean in the long run, because I am starting to doubt it a bit. I just had a bad bout of senioritis and barely got through some of the odd-ball classes I needed to graduate, but I did it. I love my major, but don't know how far it can take me. Anybody have any insight?

congrats bro! went to ECU for 2 years. Lived in Fletcher dorms, wilson acres, and off of Lewis street in my time there.

Went there for 5 :D

Garrett Hall, Wesley Commons, Dockside, Dockside again (but a different house), then stayed in a house off Meade

Loved it.

You majored in English right? Do you know any other Languages? Spanish to be more exact. There's some programs that let you travel abroad and you get to teach English as a Foreign Language.

There's a program that takes you to chile and you teach. Some other programs don't even require you to know the language of the country you'll be teaching in. Crazy right? But it's experience. Not sure if that's an option you'd be interested in. Just putting it out there.

I've known two chicks that did this, one went to Chile, the other went to Korea. They loved it, got to see a country, sight see, mingle, got paid for it. Came back and everything was fine.

how the hell does this work?

Ironically, there's a translator there. They translate, you teach. What they want is for the students to listen to the language being spoken by a native speaker. So they can learn the mannerisms, and work on their technique while learning the language. Weird, I know. But it works.

      Btw... only Mitch fugging Marner has a better +/- than Key 🔑!!! And, Mitchy needed 5 more games and almost 100 more shifts to get there.

      I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.

      Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!
