Welp, I am officially a graduate of my college, with a BA in History. My grad school won't start till the fall, so from Dec. to Aug. I'm going to work at either an office or museum. As I look back at my college days, I realized several thing.

1. Cultural Credit was a waste of time.
2. I should sue Animal House for painting an unrealistic picture of college life.
3. I still had no social life in college, as in high school.
4. I did join the local Catholic club and the History Club, so not all was lost.
5. Most of the professors at my college were cool, however one of them was horrible, I gave him a bad review though.
6. I hope I enjoy Grad School more, espically now it's has to do more with the actual job that I want to do.
7. I love archival work!

grats on the degree. Now what?

So... You're telling me the social life DOESN'T improve?! SHIT.

by the way, what do you plan to do with your BS in History?

grats on the degree. Now what?

I just told ya! Work until August, then go on to grad school and get a dual masters. One in Public History and one in Information and Library Science.

yeah saw that, but what kind of work? more archival stuff?

Nothing yet, except get temp. work until the fall when grad school starts. Right now the BA is pretty much useless but combined it with a Masters in Public History and a Masters in Information and Library Science, and I can get any archiving job in the world.

As for the social life, well, I wasn't really social to begin with. I tried to be social but I just couldn't hang around with the smoking, drinking, and loud noise. Bah.

yeah saw that, but what kind of work? more archival stuff?

Well I'm applying at museums and offices that have openings, and at libraries too.

You know what sucks though, They do not have a December Graduate ceremony. The only ceremony they have is in May, and because my families want this, I have to wait till May to get the actual sheepskin. They won't UPSed it to me and then have me walk down the stupid isle.

My loving response.

1. BA's are a waste of time.
2. Don't feed the lawyers. They are the ones destroying our society.
3. Social lives are over-rated, until you have one.
4. No sex club at your school?
5. Cold teachers? Why wouldn't they turn the heaters up a dash.
6. Typically what happens.
7. I would wiki it, but it sounds too boring.

I know a bunch of people going in to Library Science.. seems popular nowadays.

1. Well to get the Masters you need the BA.
2. Yea, but it would be a nice nest egg, and beside, if the fat kid can sue Mc. Donald then how come I shouldn't be allowed to sue the creators of Animal House?
3. I never had one. :(
4. Nah
5. Eh it was just this one teacher, didn't know how to teach, who would go on and on and on and on and on about NOTHING! and ugh.
6. Yay
7. Yea, but it pays the bills.

1. Useless master.
<.<
>.>
2. Still, suing people is what is wrong with society. Wonder why Japan is "five years in the future"? Its because all the people that would have been lawyers here pursue constructive careers: medical/dental, R&D, Engineering. *continues hating lawyers*
3. The quickest way is to smoke, drink, and generally be loud.;)
4. You should transfer.
5. Well, I wouldn't be able to focus if I was cold either.
6. Sage advice from someone just entering uni.:p
7. But you rarely break stuff. And nothing you work with is lethal.

1. Yea useless masters thats going to get me $40,000 to $42,000!
2. Yea but I still have a family lawyer, just in case.
3. I hate smoking, I hate drinking, and I don't like yelling so lol.
4. lol I'm already out, so it's pretty much pointless now :p
5. I'm just glad to be done with his class and passed it.
6. I didn't mind learning about history and I'm glad I got my BA in it, but now I want to learn about my chosen profession.
7. You still don't have to deal with idiots.

Supposedly, if I continue my current path and graduate with a chemical engineering degree or a specializaed chemistry degree, I can pull six figures in the next couple years.

1. $53,00, five years after grad with B.A.Sc.
2. *continues hating lawyers*
3. You're no fun.
4. Grad school, grad school. If they don't like the name, see if they like "bathtub swimming club."
6. Which is?
7. At my current job, the idiots are funnelled towards me.

congratulations!


and i hate to be the one to tell you this but you will have to deal with idiots. everyone does.

Congrats!

No clue what the hell that is.


2. I should sue Animal House for painting an unrealistic picture of college life.

You didn't do college properly.

3. I still had no social life in college, as in high school.

Sounds like a personal problem to me.

4. I did join the local Catholic club and the History Club, so not all was lost.

Oh, well, that explains #3.

5. Most of the professors at my college were cool, however one of them was horrible, I gave him a bad review though.

Most of my profs at uni sucked. I liked very few of them.

6. I hope I enjoy Grad School more, espically now it's has to do more with the actual job that I want to do.

You probably will. But I'd still recommend looking into that whole social-life thing.

7. I love archival work!

Or not... :(

If you like research and writing you will like grad school. I actually found my graduate program easier and more fun than my undergrad program. Congradulations on your graduation.

What if we are sexy lawyers?

Congrats indeed.

Are 'undergraduate' and 'graduate' used in the same way as they are in Britain?

In the U.S., "undergraduate" designates someone who is in their first four years of university (or however long it takes them to get their bachelor's degree). Anything after that is "graduate," i.e. masters/PhD/post-doc.

Ok, yeah, that's the same.

you don't get to call yourself a sexy lawyer yet, student. At best you're a sexy future lawyer.

Hmmmm....is there some sort of training regimen involved in becoming a sexy lawyer? Where can I sign up? Will the exam be written...or oral?

It's quite a...thorough exam, we'll have to....test you fully

When then, I put myself in your competent hands. I expect to get some sort of certificate, or proof of graduation by the way.

That leaves me with the obvious question, what the fuck can you do with a degree in history?

Talk down to construction workers (who oddly enough, will make three times what you do) in bars.

That, and pick up your teeth after.

Persuade employers that you have learned from the past and will do better than your predecessors at whatever task it is that you're doing. That and research for documentaries, a bit of journalism, teaching History in schools, that kind of thing.



I'm also slightly gutted that this wasn't about BA (Barracas) himself, but oh well.

Well, I can only think of two things. Teach History, and be cited in papers about history as some one with a degree in history.

He pities the fool who doesn't learn from history.

Then they shall be put to death.

Meanie. You're not cutting us any slack at all.

For the record, I'll still be a teacher, even when I submit myself completely to the evil Master when admitted to the Bar. Does that count for anything?

You plan on making more lawyers? *head explodes*

So, Wil, are you a prodigy? You don't seem old enough to be out of college . . .

Run for political office...if you're elected you would be the only in the government who actually understands what's going on and why the problem came about in the first place...and that would be a refreshing change...

Don't be silly. Everyone knows that most politicians are lawyers.

Ha! Take THAT, Posi!!!

I believe you'll get sufficient "proof" of graduation from that exam. What does it take for you to make it dissapear. Further, lawyers can be dead sexy. They could also be evil as fuck and cause more detriment than good. Bravo on the comment regarding lawyers and politicians. Lawyers as politicians makes us wonder what the proof "is." Even when it's plainly viewed on the dress. Finally, how many of you would let the proof be spilled all over your dress and not have it dry cleaned the next day?

That is the weirdest fucking thing I've read all day.
