The Slothful Padawan
Mohawk College, Computer Engineering Technology.

Thinking of going to University after I'm done just to seem that much more impressive and awesome. Don't know which one yet, but I'd like one with a good Robotics Engineering stream.

fuck that duck
Janna Banana Dondana:
Was at Brock University for BA/BEd majoring in History for 1 year, now at Carleton University, majoring in Poli Sci. Who knows what it will be next year. I'm one of those people who drift from program to program due to a complete lack of knowledge of what I want to do in the future besides "something fun"...Yeah I'm not fooling anyone. I just drift from program to program due to a complete lack of knowledge, period.
So you chose Pols... the highlight of my POLS classes was the drinking game that developed around our Prof. WTF am I talking about - that WAS the lecture.

Liberty University, majoring in History and Religion, specifically Biblical Studies. Headed to LU's School of Law (in all likelihood, though diagnostic tests predict that my LSAT will be high enough to at least get me into the University of Virginia or better) next year.

Monash University, BSc in Biotechnology.

Oh, and I meant minors are irrelevant in the sense that Australian/UK-based universities don't have any such thing. I made no implications regarding potential career pathways.

Ahh. Well, I'm almost sorry to hear that. Minors are wonderful things, you can actually get some proof that you took those 6 history classes in college and loved every minute of it, or wind up getting a job in a cutting edge field because your minor sets you apart from all the other candidates.

Ah, but you see, our courses have far, far more core subjects than yours do. Out of 24 units, only 5 in my course are electives (one of which has to be science-related anyway). That's not always the case though, of course -- us biotech students just have to slog like slaves. Plus, it's considerably easier to score higher grades in the States, in general; Monash is planning on incorporating the CGPA system into our transcripts, and if they do go through with the scale they've suggested (keeping in mind that we don't have the A, B, C grading system), it would fuck us over completely since while you guys can easily score 4.0, the most diligent students among us would end up with something far below a 3.

Jedi Master
After 3 years at a University and then 1 year at a Community College, I am now in a one year vocational Licensed Practical Nursing program. When I finish that next October, I will return to University to try and salvage my 2.1 GPA wrought from years of drifting between majors and come out with my RN and a bachelor's.


In the meantime I have gotten an EMT Basic certification, a firefighter certification, and $50,000 dollars in financial debt to the government.


Going straight to University to drift aimlessly between programs is bad, very bad.

I think you're underestimating how hard it is to get an A in an upper level course. Sure, the basic stuff you can plow through, but for some classes getting an A is nearly impossible at the graduate level.
