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.

Wolf Pussy posted:I'm going to China on a one week study abroad in March. Filling out my Chinese visa application I see that they want my SSN. Since I had a clearance and the OPM hack happened, I'm totally coming back from this trip with a keylogger learning all of my passwords and sharing all my incognito window porn habits, right? Every organization I've worked with only sends sanitized hardware into China and when it comes back they never let it touch their network again. Possibly paranoia but sometimes that's good.

With most people that don't just assume excel experience in the first place you can usually blow their minds using tables and formulas to output stuff more complicated than a list of numbers. Start automating the output of those numbers ans you seem like a wizard.

Be a computer toucher with a clearance. Demand is amazing for that combination. I work with some astonishingly stupid people because they have it. Be intelligent and do decent work on top of that and you're going places.

Yeah I wouldn't be betting on student loan forgiveness. Betsy DeVos is doing her level best to shut that down by slow walking everything and denying it for literally any thing possibly imaginable up to and including you missing the filing date because they didn't give it to themselves.

I had to abandon an email address because of some of that poo poo. It's a mailing list they used to organize stuff for students in one particular program but it's not all coming from specific addresses. I guess it's an excel sheet or text file or something that everyone passes around in that program and whenever it's time to organize something they copy/paste and blast an email out to everyone abut whatever it is they're organizing. Every single time there's a dozen or so reply all responses asking to be taken off the list. It never works, presumably because whatever intern got handed the list just doesn't give a poo poo to go back and look through the list to take people off. I just stopped trying after the second year past my graduation. It was a mostly disposable address I made for school stuff anyway so gently caress it, done.

Electrical is cool for messing around in your garage building radios or something but be very aware of what you're doing. If you want to do stuff like wiring up homes, even your own, you have to have certs for that and can get in a world of poo poo if something happens and you don't have those pieces of paper to legally cover your rear end.

I finished undergrad at, umm, 36 or something? It is a different experience than going in as a fresh-faced 19 year old right out of high school, but it's one that usually works in your favor. Chances are you're not there to be a party animal with your first taste of freedom walking into completely unknown social situation that's going to gently caress around with your learning experience. You're there to do the work and get the grades. That shows up A LOT in your work and professors will notice it.

I used the post-9/11 bill I believe to get a bachelors, how do I check if I have any time left and if I do can I use it to get a certification for IT work I do? Been looking at, like, CCNA classes or something.

 This is juuuust about all you need to know about Toilet Paper USA. Text in the sign is edited, but the rest is genuine. It's about as coherent as most other right-wing propaganda.

UP THE BUM NO BABY posted:The textbook for my business ethics class is incredible. In trying to put a positive spin on the fact that most Americans distrust "Managers' Values" it tells the reader: When your baseline is zero anything is positive so yeah, lies, drat lies, and statistics.

I got out of a few classes that way. Well worth the day or two of getting transcripts and talking to the resource office to translate what my Army training covered to get some basic courses just checked off entirely. They also had a "Your 18 and probably dumb. Here's how to do time management, make a budget and stuff" class that I showed up to one day of, talked to the teacher afterwards and they agreed that a 30-year old veteran probably doesn't need that class so they just signed off on me completing it.

Intro level chem stuff isn't too bad, basic math drills with a dash of "And this is how the molecules work so that's why you're doing this math." I never actually took organic chem just looked at other people's books/homework and gently caress that stuff. Everything goes sideways and the rules are "gently caress I don't know just remember this under these conditions"

I have no idea how much or if I have any left and if I could use GI Bill benefits for CCENT or something that'd be awesome. How do I check what's left?

Do industry cert bootcamps count? I'll probably end up in a few of those. Don't think I'll ever get more than a B.S. though, can't afford the time not working to go for a masters.

SquirrelyPSU posted:I left PSU with a 1.98 GPA (before going to the Navy). I tried to get into University of Washington and WSU and was unsuccessful twice after, even after posting 4.0's at a community college. PSU has an Academic Senate policy that if you've been out for 4 years and had less than a 2.0 you can get the same. Only way I have a BS and almost an MS today. Shamelessly playing the veteran card can really help with that too. It's a pretty easy argument to make, "Yeah I was young and dumb and hosed up now I'd like a second shot"

Most of that stuff you can chuck in to a Google Docs drive, edit, then export. Think it works for excel sheets too.

Don't psych yourself out about the difficulty. I hear it's different for grad school level stuff but after the grind of active duty Army I found a bachelor's to be pretty chill. You've got to do the work and force yourself to complete the tasks, and some classes will suck (looking at you calc 1. SMDFTB) but on the whole it's stuff set up for 19-ish year olds to be able to get through. Put in some actual effort and you quickly end up being noticed by the professors. That's actually a good thing in this context.
