Just had a long talk with my mom.

Actually didn't flip when I told her my grade. She told me I must switch my major with something without math. My mom is seriously so old school and she told me to major in anything just to get my degree.

wtf man I don't know what to do...should I switch my major to like Communications or something?

Landing a good job after school is hard enough, don't make it harder.

Yeah, I told my mom it's a joke major.

They seriously live in the 80s. I told them unless you have a Math, Science, Engineering, Computers degree or Business degree from Ivy League School, it's useless.

Im so ****ing stressed out right now brahs. I've seriously never been like this in years since my HS days.

Just take a day or two off from everything and everyone and just clear your mind of all this. Spending all day every day thinking about it is going to drive you insane.

I'm dealing with some bull**** right now as well and frankly I've never felt worse(which kinda sucks because just a week ago I was as happy as I've ever been). I took the weekend off from work and I'm just gonna drive down to outer banks with my dog and just hike up and down the beaches all day to get my head straight.

Uhmm.. I forgot.. whats your major? What do you want to do career wise?

Failing a test is not a reason to switch majors. Man up and get a tutor or something. If youre following and working toward a career you really want, dont let a couple of hard classes stop you brah.

True.

I just don't know, really depressed right now.

Business Econ.

This is my 2nd time taking it and Summer will be my 3rd. It's actually techincally a "Part 1" of Pre Calc. I would still have to take Part 2 before Calc. This **** is not for me man.

Regardless im dropping the class and I have to take it again in the Summer anyways, so it replaces my F, so I can hold off on thinking on switching my major until then.

And I really don't even know what I want to do. I kind of picked Econ, because it's just such a broad path and you can find so much with it. I have to admit, Communications and working in within some advertising or network kind of interests me, but the degree is useless.

[HTownOlajuwon]

GBY, keep your head up man.

It sounds like you were just put in an unfortunate circumstance, like having a bad teacher. I'm not sure if you do this, but you should check out rate my professor. It's a great site to determine what teachers are good at what they and what they aren't.

If you are thinking about changing a major though, maybe you should consider something like marketing or management. I'm not sure how much math you need to know there, but I don't think it's as much and as crazy as Economics.

Keep your head up and things will turn out alright. You just gotta fight through and stay positive.

[Masstastic]

You're kidding right?

Communications is a great start.

You get a good idea of what truly interests you.

Not reading any further back but what are you currently majoring in now?

And you're mom is 100% right.

Why are you so stressed about getting a job after college? You need to get a college degree regardless of what it is. Just as long as you do what you're passionate about. Dont worry about the salary range or how long you have to wait to "get in the door".

Thanks.

Thing is, my school is notorious for being difficult in Math. I really ****ed up not waiving it last semester, because then I wouldn't have an F and I could just take it at CC. Now I have to take it at my Uni or else a C or better wouldn't replace it. I use Rate my Prof. all the time. This prof. got good ratings for being nice, but a 2.0 for easiness. He's the head of the department. I honestly feel he enjoys seeing students struggle and fail. He even said it in the beginning how he loves seeing so many kids struggle. (srs) He gives like no partial credit, either. Claimed you must know your simple Algebra and any mistake like that is automatic all points off, yet he makes tons of errors on the board every class. Then today a student raised their hand asking if they'll be a curve. His explanation? I will think about it, but probably won't go in affect until end of semester as there will be students who are going to drop the course and he'd wait until then. Seriously?

Sounds like a good idea to blow off some steam.

So when or did your gf move already? And where was she supposed to move to?

I remember reading how you were preparing for that.

Only thing missing Bacon to let us know what's going on in his life.

But I'm getting back caught up again with this thread.

What school did you get rejected by?

Temple. Not even mad though. Kind of half-assed the whole thing. Would rather go to a school in washington anyway.

Are you in washington or pennsylvania?

[jross2021]

PA. Plan on moving to Seattle though.

Really? Temple turned you down? I've heard good things about the school but I've always heard about how dangerous the neighborhood around Temple is.

Then I realize that doesn't affect me at all.

But what about GWU? Maybe even go down to Northern VA and go to a school like George Mason?

Went to Temple for 2 years, the area is a **** hole, what are you going to grad school for?

Lol, yeah brah. They interviewed like 200 people, was pissed when i showed up and so many people were there. Also had like no experience, so not really surprised. And no, the other Washington.

I remember reading how you were preparing for that.

She moved back home(about 7 hours away, which is longer than I initially thought) a couple days ago.

I talked about it with her last night but it didn't get real far, was too sad lol. We just agreed that we'll take a wait and see approach, let things settle and go from there. She's coming back in a few weeks to visit so I'm kinda stoked on that. Still pretty depressed, but I still talk to her all the time so it's not as bad as it could be. Ah well.

In the mean time I'm going to pick up another job and just work my ass off to keep my mind off of it.

[Future24]

Worst thing in my life is studying for the lsat. Nothing else matters to me right now. Even though I cant study more than 45mins a day without losing attention span...

Everything else is too good to be true.

[GetBigyo]

Maybe I will just quit school and work for Decisive Sports while us Sports Misc brahs assemble to make our worldwide Valet company.

This idea.

I like it.

Decisive Sports is the evolution of sports, and the revolution of sports reporting. Come be apart of the future.

I know you guys are mirin my piece on how the point guard position is overrated.

The law school/lawyer thread is beyond depressing. Everyone is trying to talk you out of law school and saying you will ruin your life by going.

You will if you don't go to a T14 or T30 w/full ride.


In other news, after a lengthy application/interview process, I was offered a job as a financial advisor in-training. The firm is investing 12-19 months in training me internally (apparently a very prestigious program; only 2 people a month get in nation-wide) and paying me $40,000 to be a student basically.

Hasn't set in though, was just offered yesterday and I still feel like a peasant.

[Future24]

Inb4 people call me an idiot for wanting to go to law school to get into the sports world but...

I was looking around at law schools in the Chicago area. Basically...it is almost impossible for me to get into Northwestern Law right out of college. The typical age they accept is 26. They want people with masters or work experience. I'll still try getting in there but fuk brahs...2500 applied. 300 got in. So this sort of took a shot to my heart until....

I started looking around. I was thinking about skipping my senior year of school here and going to this law school ( was going to do this last year but cant now), but the school isn't ranked very well...So i keep looking around. I look at Loyola Law school. Meh, ranked decent, not too tough to get in to, but it doesn't have anything great.

Then I look at a school that's slightly better ranked than Loyola, pretty good chance to get in...they offer an Entertainment and Technology main focus for law. So I go look under it...they have contracts, music, movies, internet, etc all the good stuff. They even had a sports law class under that course. And then I found this:

Baseball, Law and American Society*

Sign me up:

The lawyers and law school people I talk to always tell me that is true if I want to work outside of Chicago in a really good law firm, but with most schools in Chicago they are all names here so I don't have to go to the best. I just have to graduate high in my class if I want a job in the Chicago area.

This guy that works out at my gym told me he graduated from some no name law school in Michigan and he got a pretty good job 3 months out of school. He just had to apply to a lot of places, but he nailed the interview and loves his job.

After you get your first job, no one cares what school you went to. All that matters to them is whether or not you can handle the job responsibilities
