Tomorrow morning, my wife and I are graduating from college, and I'm wondering who on NSG is in the same boat. Or a similar boat.

So if you're graduating: what's your degree, what are your plans?



We are both joining the Peace Corps and are scheduled to serve in Africa in September. We're still waiting on a country.

And just in case anything in this post isn't right grammar-wise; I am quite drunk. Just to stop those comments now.

25 days. I'll be graduating with a BS in English education, hoping to find a teaching position in an urban district around Boston

I still have 2 more years to go on my MA.

I still have 2 more years to go on my MA.What's your concentration?

What's your concentration?

Japanese. Abysmally different from my BA, which was in Art History.

I'm not graduating for another two years.

Majoring in art history! Let's hear it for useless degrees!

Whose what?

Whose what?

Yeah, saw that and let it slide due to the drinking.

What school is everyone graduating from?

BU here.

Whose what?Like I said. Drunk. So, Who is rather than whose.

Jesus, what a bunch of critics!

Do you have a degree? No, right. Then shut up and vent your frustrations were someone would care.:rolleyes:

I´m graduating from La Complutence, of Madrid.

I haven't gotten into college/uni yet.

pssst...I think they were implying that they are studying art history, not insulting you.

I could be wrong tho *shrug*

I don't even have my GED yet, but I'm enrolled in a college program to obtain that right now. After I get my GED I'm going to get my degree in hospitality management.

ohh...that was my old major...what unis you looking at?

It´s ok.:)

I'm graduating in June with a Bachelor in Economics and another in Business Management.

Not that I'll be done, in Australia really good students get the chance to add an Honours (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honours_degree#Australia) year (which is misleading, because in Britain for example it means something completely different, and much less difficult), and I'll get my Honours in Economics. Unless one of my lecturers succeeds until then to convince me to do a Masters in International Finance instead. :p

In 2 weeks, I'm graduating with a BA in Political Science, with minors in Spanish and European History. In late July I'm going to teach English in Japan for at least a year. Should be quite a time.

I´m graduating from La Complutence, of Madrid.

Compultence? Isn't that one of the best schools in Spain? Nice!

PS Sorry for the double-post

I'm graduating from uni in just over a month with a degree of Master of Science in Medicine.

In a few months I'll have my bachelor of science (chemistry, immunology) and a diploma in arts (philosophy). Bit of an odd combination, reckon many. Finding a niche shouldn't be too difficult then :p

I plan to continue with my honours in science, though no doubt I'll still be around in years to come stressing over a phd.

Graduating at the end of June with a BA in political science and international studies from Northwestern.

Compultence? Isn't that one of the best schools in Spain? Nice!

PS Sorry for the double-post

Yes, it´s one of the best. And I´m proud I´m graduating from it.:)

Well, I'm graduating but not graduating graduating. I will get an associate's degree in a couple of weeks, but I'll still be going to school.

I envy all of you. Four years of university about to be complete and it looks like I'll still be here for another year and a half to two. It wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't come to hate Indiana with every fiber of my being. :(

Coming from Norhils... I seriously doubt it. But he´s innocent until proven otherwise.:p

No, it's true. I am an art history major myself. :)

I did that about a month ago. It's overrated.

I have some straggling credits to pick up over the summer, but barring catastrophe I'll be graduating from Carleton in November. Honours BA in History, with a minor in Economics. Grad school is on the horizon, but I think I need a year off to let my brain heal up. And, y'know, revel in the experience of being an underemployed social science graduate.

Two years complete and two more years to go for my MA (hons) in Economics and Accounting, porviding all goes to plan. My economics exam on Thursday was most likely a success and further exams in business law and accounting should go well.

Graduating in June with a degree I don't want. Maybe in a few years I'll come back and do something different.

I have two years before i graduate for Geology. Then I'll go for my masters, or the Peace Corp as well. I haven't decided yet.

I'm probably going for a Master of Accounting, so it's not likely I'll be graduating any time soon. With just my BSBA, I'd be graduating in June of 2010 all things equal.

What degree?

I still have another year before graduating. It's gone so quickly :(

2 years before finishing Geology, will hopefully trigger a chain of events which will result in doing a PhD but I don't want to get too far ahead of myself just yet.

I have two years before i graduate for Geology.

Quick question, have you had to experience the "joys" of mineral optics?

No, it's true. I am an art history major myself. :)

Oh, I apologize.:p
In what area of Art History do you want to major in? I majored in Medieval and Renaissance art. I´m also a curator.

Looks like August for my MA in Political Science

I know it´s too soon but congrats on finishing your MA.

No, and not applicable, my plans vary from day to day, but i have a general goal of staying alive, sort of.
congratulations on your peace corps thing, i wonder how that works.
I don't pick folks up on grammar use unless i'm joking about, it's the internet not a classroom.

I am graduating next may.:-p


Then moving to Malta for training, then off to Lebanon.

I am graduating in one week with a BA in history, then i plan on teaching

I am planning on going for a masters

phd is 4 months away. can't wait...

Quick question, have you had to experience the "joys" of mineral optics?

not yet, but i will next semester. sounds like a joy I can't wait for.

I graduate in about two weeks with a BA in Theatre. My plans are to pursue a Master's degree.

10 May.

B.A. in Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science from Winthrop University. I finish class Monday (tomorrow) and take my last final on Friday, 2 May.

Lord only knows what I'm going to do with it. To forestall the inevitable question, "why did you go into that degree programme?", the answer is that I was originally a computer science major, until the hardware diagrams went way over my head. Since they'd already made me take calculus, changing my major to math to graduate faster was the logical option.

Currently taking a bA in history, after which I intend to take an mA at a university better suited to my ability and ambitions.

A word of advice to any reading this and choosing universities or colleges; do as much research as possible on the institutions to which you have applied. I didn't, and frankly, I've sold myself so, so, so short.

I'm graduating this year, but from high school, not college. I'm going to be starting college this fall. Going for a 5 year program for a Bachelor's and Master's in Chemical Engineering.

Where are you doing your BA? I've heard that it's important to choose your MA campus pretty carefully (for obvious reasons, you're going to have a pretty tight relationship with your supervisor and your studies are that much more specialized), but at the undergrad level all universities are more or less the same, so long as you're motivated to learn and acheive.

I'm just finishing a history degree at Carleton, which takes a lot of flak for its unseemly pandering to the basketball team. I've had some awful professors here but some excellent ones as well--the art is in separating the wheat from the chaff, and sticking close to the profs you admire.

To an extent, I agree. However, a first from Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard etc. is not the same to the perceptions of most employers as a first from elsewhere, which is the problem.

From what I hear, most of the experience of an Ivy League education is proper socialization. You're introduced to the right circles, drink the right drinks, etc. The actual value of the education is not that much better than what you'll get elsewhere.

That said, yes, it's a secret handshake into the upper echelons of society. If that's your thing, well, more's the pity.
