Welcome to the IHoP

sigh idk what i wanna do about school. here's the deal, i'm pretty close to finishing all my required classes to get my BS, almost 2 quarters ahead of schedule.

options:

1) if i take an extra class during this summer, i can graduate after this coming fall (1st quarter, we're on the quarter system).

2) i can stay for the entire coming academic year and probably finish a minor (i'm thinking accounting). maybe throw in some bio research.

Hmmm ....

Hmmmmmm ...

I was in that position, stuck around for two years for the MSc.

Are you looking for a job right now? Near future (as in, to start working right after graduation in the fall)? What type of work/job are you looking to do with your degree?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'm not really looking for a job right away. I was on the fence about grad school, but I think that's what I'm gonna do. Maybe pharmacy, optometry, or something along those lines. Any clue what are some jobs I could do with a BS in bio? I don't wanna be stuck in a lab.

If I was driving both trucks, the Mazda, and the IROC ... I'd be spending nearly $800/month on gas.

By not driving either truck (unless I need it), taking the IROC out once on the weekends, taking the Mazda for typical city driving, and the bike to/from work and out cruising ... I'm spend $22 on the bike and $40 on the Mazda.

My prof was playing Kanye before class. I thought I was in the wrong classroom.

Do pharm if you're interested in it. Know a few guys who got in and went through with it ... couple changed their mind. They're bringing in some decent cash right now, and they always seem to be in demad (grocery stores, hospitals, pharm companies, labs, pharm stores, etc).

Biology is huge ... you know that --- are you specializing in anything? Anything that sparks huge interest (any specific branch ... toxicology, A&P, ecology, microbi, pathology, nutrition, neuroscience, etc).

Don't worry ... BSc Biology is a good degree. You can always teach with it eventually. If you're into econ, you can get into a huge job describing the economical impact of certain biological issues ... clear cuts or an environmental toxin, for example.

Any interest in forensics at all? That's where I started out during grad school ... in a lab, doing basic DNA isolation, genetic makeups, etc. Wasn't fun, but the experience was nice (and I made $35K while still in school). Is an internship an option?

Accounting / some sort of math is always good with a biology degree. In fact, that's what I'd suggest.

You seem bright enough, dedicated enough, and "common sense" smart to become some sort of doctor, Dennis.

I appreciate the vote of confidence

At this point, I think pharm would be the best direction. My cousin went to a 5 year program straight outta high school, now has a doctorate in pharm, and makes 70-80k right outta college. Seems like a very financial sound path, not incredibly exciting though.

I'm still thinking about the accounting/math aspect, always liked math.

Blah, I'm so undecisive and barely motivated. I told my mom I could graduate early, she seemed pretty excited about that.

Yar!

[///M5 2,833]

Getting paid earlier isn't such a bad thing.

[CBFryman 2]

i'm in shock

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Lie down, prop your feet up with a pillow and grab some blankets.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Goodnight all. This getting up at 4:45 BS is gonna kill me, but it's nice to get off work at 2:30.

woot my cousin is gonna get me an interview to be a pharmacist clerk. not exactly the greatest job in the world but hey, saves me the trouble of finding a summer job and looks nice if I wanna go to pharm school

byebye Ryan. have fun at work.

[JimJ 11]

I smell like burning oak

I'm caked in sawdust

And I couldn't be happier.

tomorrow -

sanding everything 'til its purdy

stain & poly

[///M5 2,833]

Sounds like more fun than I get to have. Cleaning house so realtors can price it tomorrow. Holy crap I'm a pig.

[///M5 2,833]

Actually mostly just lazy towards housework

[JimJ 11]

I do the same thing...let things get a little out of hand until I realize how bad everything looks, and then go into crazy overdrive cleaning mode for a weekend until everything is spotless again.

Then forget about it for a month, etc...and the cycle continues.

And I have this thing when people come over, the place needs to look good. So that brings out the organizer/cleaner in me.

Weed does the same thing to me, ironically enough

[///M5 2,833]

huh? weed makes you clean or forget to?

Endless cycle for me as well, the only cure is to invite people over at least once a week. Lately I have been slacking on that too.

I am jealous of you. That's where I want to work this summer. I'll be in the pharm.d program in 2 years.
