    Hang in there man. I finished up my undergrad stuff while working nights. It sucks but is worth it. I'll be starting on my master's degree in the sping term, now with two kids and a real jobs to manage at the same time.

Literally was 3-4 hours of sleep a night, with work and school taking up the rest of the time.

    Good luck to you - it will be over before you know it and it's a character builder!!!


    ...now I'm seriously thinking about taking advantage of the company's Tuition Reimbursement program to do the Business Admin BA degree...
    That right there is why I changed my major from EE.

    Congrats Kenyth, keep on plugging away. As a professor, I always like to see hard working students who know the value of what they're doing.

    Finite Math was made me not want to pursue a math major (DE was way than more than I wanted)...

    Calc III was bad enough, but particle physics is what led me away from anything BUT mechanical engineering - first time in my life my eyes were in a constant glaze without the use of any kind of "medication"... I'll stay with Kinematics anytime!!!
