If anyone is interested, Georgia Tech is doing an online masters of science in computer science. it's the same degree as the normal ms in cs, but it's only like $1000 a semester. Im in my second semester if anyone has questions about it.

Not a lie, just didn't check. Someone said 45k a semester so I just went with it.

I got a masters in technology studies from Eastern Michigan, but wanted a real CS degree. So far I really like the classes. They aren't easy, but you can learn a ton from them, and it's really affordable. if you go the Montgomery GI bill option you end up pocketing money back.

Yea, I'm still enlisted until july, then I start my real job. The program is specifically targeted towards industry professionals who want to get a masters degree, but can't stop their careers to do it.

This semester I'm signed up for a class on Graphic Novels. The professor is the former president of DC comics. College is loving great.

I took a class like that years ago because it sounded really cool. Read From Hell, Epileptic (weird loving book, but cool), one that was about fighting in the West Bank by a photojournalist, and this one about a Japanese doctor trying to cure people that turn into dogs. It was a pretty cool class.

Comparing textbook prices with my roommate, India gets their books for cheap (i.e. reasonable prices) compared to the insanity that is the U.S. market for textbooks. For one book I selected, it would run you about $225 from Amazon.com, but the same one from Amazon.in is about ₹1100, or $16 USD. Amazon.in won't ship that to US addresses, for obvious reasons, but why not just have it sent to a mail forwarding service in India? Even with expedited shipping, that'd still be far cheaper. The especially funny thing is that even buying it from Amazon.in, it would still ship from a store in the US.

Book reselling is a pretty major operation on Amazon regardless, I've bought NO RESALE OUTSIDE OF INDIAN SUBCONTINENT books for peanuts from US vendors. It's the same book but in grayscale and paperback, you just gotta look. Unfortunately sometimes the books will be like in SI units only and slightly different. It's pretty loving shameless, they know full well that dumb ignorant Yankees will lament their $300 books but poor Indians still need books too so we'll just sell the same thing for vastly different prices.

Hardcopy textbooks are pointless and offer little benifit compared to digital versions. Though in the future we'll probably just licence the texts via a proprietary service.

I had a professor this term tell us verbatim to just pirate the book. He didn't tell us where, but it was pretty refreshing to have someone that gets it

My first class, my first semester here: There's no book in here, I'll just assign articles you can obtain from library databases. Also, I don't really want to be here at 8am either so if everyone works really hard we'll only meet once a week. High expectations that will never be matched ever again.

Some book companies have been getting wise to the book shuffling and now they're doing their damndest to make "integrated learning environments" a part of every class possible, which is where you get the book but then can only access the questions and stuff online, with their code. Such a god drat racket.

The only time I got that was for a German class. The teacher dropped it halfway through the semester. Shame too because it was really easy point. Repeat the exercise until you get full points, she has no idea how many times you did it.

My math class is just using the back half of the book I bought last semester, so nothing spent there. My writing class just needs a $20 MLA guidebook, and my earth science teacher is making slides he'll post online instead of using the book.Casimir Radon posted:The only time I got that was for a German class.

My math teacher last semester didn't even require the online assignments to be 100% correct, just get a reasonable amount done each segment and you got 100% for the chapter.

Grem posted:Please tell me more about chill jobs with a history degree in Colorado.... Colorado is a jackpot location so you'll need some luck, but Denver has the second largest concentration of fed agencies outside of DC so check usajobs every couple days and you'll find something eventually. For history poo poo use archives, museum, and historian as your search terms. A lot of what you'll see for museum stuff is temporary work with the park service and the vast majority of history related archives jobs are in DC/College Park, but there is good permanent stuff in better locations if you keep looking. Any archives job that mentions federal records center is something you don't want, that's the warehouse side of the agency that is lower paying and full of disgruntled people. The naval history command was/is hiring a ton of entry level museum and historian positions, but the jobs are in Richmond or DC.

My professors will generally give you the textbook if they have an extra copy. You just gotta return it at the end of the semester. They don't tell you this outright. It's one of those unspoken things. One thing college has taught me about the real world that the military lacks completely is that you can actually get places if you just ask questions.

Depending on your circumstances you might also be able to get your schools Adaptive Technology (or whatever they call it) office to scan your textbooks. My school required you to be on Voc Rehab and/or have a letter from the Disability Resource Center with a relevant disability, which was a really really broad requirement. You would tell them your classes, they would go get the books, break the spines, scan the whole thing w/ OCR, then email you the scans.

Nine times out of ten n-1 edition of your textbook is just as good and is easily half the price.

One of the best things about my undergrad was this professor who would disappear into central Asia on summer breaks and pop back up with bonkers stories, souvenirs, and the occasional new Turkish wife.
