jonny5 Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 UofC... Hey brent what chem courses you taking? Student for life, and enjoying it. Quote
vhawk12 Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Last semester of a Geology degree with concentration in Petroleum Geology.....have a Geophysics 559 MT next week, 10 page paper + 15min presentation the week after reading week. Plus quizzes and critical review due every week, labs in every class and a Petroleum Engineering class for non majors MT week after reading week(a geologist in an engineering course is like a bait chucker in a fly shop) compsci 217...but I don't care, last semester and it's snowing in the mountains, so I'm going skiing....I've got a degree already and have been in the workforce, school is a pretty sweet deal....you don't realize how much free time you actually have until you go to work 5 days a week. Then you have kids and you wonder....how did we waste that much time in our undergrad degrees? Drinking did take up a lot of that time....so did Playstation and Tony Hawk Pro Skater!! Oh and I agree Brent, Calc II is waaaay easier than Calc I Quote
highwoodfisher Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 what is with you guys? calc 2 is significantly more difficult. how is integration easier that differential calc? Quote
Tako Posted February 7, 2008 Author Posted February 7, 2008 what is with you guys? calc 2 is significantly more difficult. how is integration easier that differential calc? Basically, once you have a decent handle on differentials, integration is easy. But I failed Calc 1 the first time So don't listen to me. I'll say it again, anyone who likes being in school over work does not like their job Quote
Nick0Danger Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Good luck buddy. Get your ticket and give me a call. Then you can come up North and make some real money. Seems Pretty straight forward, 3 weeks to go, and I have a 90%+ average. Been to the fort with my company Convergint, and i would not do that long term its not for me, although i LOVE industrial.

Tako Posted February 8, 2008 Author Posted February 8, 2008 I don't want to write this paper. Thanks for helping me procrastinate, FFC Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 what is with you guys? calc 2 is significantly more difficult. how is integration easier that differential calc? My prof was brutal for Calc 1 as well, and considering that my highschool did not teach me the proper notation for calc, calc 1 was a bitch, (still passed it though), then after that, calc 2 was sweet Quote
ladystrange Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 i hated school, but the real world sux more. i'd like to go back if it were in the cards. but i have no idea what i would take. or what i want to do when i grow up, which i am not planning on doing Quote
Tako Posted February 8, 2008 Author Posted February 8, 2008 Whatcha gotta do is pick one side of the tradeoff between making money, or doing what you love. Me, I fish. I'd rather 'work' (play with fish) and get paid peanuts. Quote
ladystrange Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 gotta live too. support the family and all that crap. doesnt work on less than 30k a year. ok for one person, but who wants to be alone forever... Quote
Tako Posted February 9, 2008 Author Posted February 9, 2008 gotta live too. support the family and all that crap. doesnt work on less than 30k a year. ok for one person, but who wants to be alone forever... Like I said. You make a tradeoff between money and pleasure Quote

birchy Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Any of you guys that are taking Accounting/Tax related stuff (*cough* Din *cough*).. Make sure you send me a note when you're ready to start working. They're always hiring here at Deloitte, and I don't mind referring people. Quote

Ive been looking for a job but haven't found anything yet. Do you know if they are hiring at the moment? Will start being a grown up in Septemberish.. Quote
birchy Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 They're ALWAYS looking for people man. It's crazy. We've (in I.T.) been in shock the last 2 weeks because we haven't had any new hire orientations.. just some temps. Usually we have to do an orientation EVERY monday for at least 2-3 people if not more. Quote
