Who's studying for college finals?

If he took a real econometrics class, he would realize that what they teach as Total Factor Productivity is just the tip of the iceberg...it gets gayer and gayer.

I never went farther in Econ than basic micro/macro...was a joke, really.

Nope, finals don't start until the 17th here. I am worried about all except for statistics. Circuits won't be easy, electromagnetics will **** me, I may fail that class, and microcontrollers wont be too bad.

Just pray your job doesn't require CEUs.

They make the "gen ed" ones easy on purpose. On the PhD level, they get crazy hard. But it's mostly math at that point anyway.

What if you go back? I sat out a year and went back for my MA in econ.

Yea, all that really boils down to math, basically extremely advanced statistics. Engineering is somewhat the same, lots of math, but also science.

Luckily most of my finals junior and senior year were project/report based or just papers.

I was at a point where I could crank out a 5 page paper in under an hour and completely bullshit my way to an A. Kind of sad really.

If I plan on entering the workforce seriously and try to get a management-type job I'll probably go through some of my old textbooks and notes just to refresh my memory.

I have a final for a masters level one tomorow. The class I'm taking is conceptually easy but I'm doing horrible in it. God, I hope I do ok tomorow.

I wish engineering could do that, but they never do, its always problems to work and stuff.

It says something about the integrity of your program. On one hand, I love skirting by...producing just enough effort for the A. However, I don't learn anything...study for the test, and then forget all about it later.

Well if I go back for my master's it will be because an organization will pay for it and supersize my salary. HA

Seriously though, I don't plan on it right now. Not saying it wouldn't ever happen, but I'm excited to finish my bachelor's.

Hate to bust your bubble, but most of the time the post - MBA wage increase is maybe $6k tops, according to an old issue of Business week.

It says something about business classes in general.

Obviously not the hardest major out there and even graduates ahead of me/employers would tell me straight up that companies would do their own training anyways and the college degree was just one of the stipulations to getting a "good" job.

I wouldn't say that every class I've ever taken was easy, there were quite a few classes that I struggled with (mainly statistics based classes) and had to actually work quite hard to get through.

Others....not so much. But to at least give myself some credibility, our business school was AACSB accredited (http://www.aacsb.edu/) so it's not like the business school is a complete joke or anything.

I did spend quite a few nights pulling all-nighters to get big projects done or write some crazy *** papers. Maybe I'm just good at writing papers and just thought that I was half-assing them? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Another thing that my business classes taught me to do was giving good presentations. Powerpoint, public speaking, etc.
