My parents have no need of a home office, lol, they're dumb.

Technically I could go to a community college and do just this if there weren't so many goddamn homeless PhD's stealing the positions. Maybe I can get a certificate in secondary education...

If I were a teacher I would be willing to accommodate people to a point, but also capricious. That's how life is and I don't see why I should be any different. Also if you haven't clearly read the text get the gently caress OUT OF HERE.

Whenever people asked me, "What are you going to do now that you've graduated?" I'd say, "Stop going to school." So, come up with a better response because no one ever thought that was funny. Just a tip from me to you.

I don't think you need a degree to suck anyone off, but it couldn't hurt to have one, I guess...is this what they taught you in grad school?

Congratulations, OP!

I am very close to finishing my masters as well. Hopefully next month, but maybe two. I did it Germany where it's free though.

Soon I will be a computer/robot master! :science:

(Also, to the confused people: a master's doesn't make you a doctor or give you a PhD. That's the next level. You can get paid to do them though, which is cool.)

(Also also, someone asked about graduation times: I don't know about other schools, but generally you graduate when you successfully defend your thesis, which can be any day of the year.)

Nice timing. Giving a poo poo about international relations is actually illegal under the trump administration.

it's an exciting time to reinvent yourself, unless you have any kind of social media presence whatsoever. so rasturbate everything and stick it on your wall, and wear your space invaders tshirt at all times.

people will think you're cool and not a complete and utter waste.

I defended my thesis two days ago and got hooded last night. i still have to format the thesis for submission to the graduate college though, shouldn't take long I already followed most of the guidelines.

I did my whole education in 6 months for like $9000 and i'll be making $75,000 as a glorified computer janitor next year with 1 year of experience after partying and drinking away my youth. Good luck with that debt.

edit: also good luck when they make university education free, i'll jump on at that point i guess.
