Journal metlin's Journal: Master of Science, baby! 12

Journal by metlin on Friday December 01, 2006 @02:15AM

Yoohoo! Had my graduate commencement ceremony, was the first in my major.

I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech,
and a hell of an Engineer

A Helluva, helluva, helluva, helluva, helluva
Engineer

Like all the jolly good fellows,
I drink my whiskey clear.

I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech
and a hell of an Engineer

Oh, if I had a daughter, sir,
I'd dress her in white and gold,
And put her on the campus
To cheer the brave and bold.
But if I had a son, sir,
I'll tell you what he'd do--
He'd yell: 'TO HELL WITH GEORGIA!'
Like his daddy used to do.

Oh, I wish I had a barrel of rum,
and Sugar three thousand pounds
A college bell to put it in,
And a clapper to stir it round.
I'd drink to all the good fellows,
who come from far and near.
I'm a Ramblin', Gamblin',
HELL OF AN ENGINEER!

      Joining the R&D division of Convergys Corp., CVG Labs.
      
      Hoping to be working on some cool AI & HCI stuff (interned there this summer, and they made a nice offer, so...!)
      
      Kinda looking forward to that. Well, except for the weather, that is. Georgia is so much warmer. :-D

Congrats, doing MSc in alloted time is actually a smart move ;)

I am 33, a father for couple of days and recipient of high school certificate ("matura" in Polish, "abitur" in German) about half a year ago. Haven't been thinking about higher education yet, but knowing my wife and her nagging I won't have much choice but do it eventually... ;)

As for the job, there's lot of it for people knowing the craft, regardless of their education. I am quite a good example.

Good luck in new job.

  Thank you! I wanted to stay in for a Ph.D. as well, but I think I will go back later (well, at least I hope).
  
  After a while, school kinda gets to you, you know? :-)
  
  And like you said, schooling != education. While some people do get education from schooling, experience matters a lot more - so, I just figured, I'd get some of that and then think about more school.
