When you call the little asian girl a boy like 10 times, what do you expect?

Get your job to pay for it.

Yeah, but then you'd have a dork in your butt all the time AND some dude moochin' money off you... If you think he's hot, I guess that's all that matters.

im putting off grad school for a few years, I'm gonna go work for a couple years and then go back.
a masters degree is the new bachelors degree. the job im going to pays very well, but it seems like if you want a really well paying job (100K+) these days you're gonna need at least a masters, phd or mba. so i pretty much have to go back to school at some point, which sucks majorly

but i will be SO glad to get the fuck out of school, and be making money finally..

good luck teaching drewp

Those of you talking about jobs paying for schooling, etc...

If you intend to do any of the sciences (engineering, physics, etc)... you should be able to go to school for free pretty easily full time. If you can't get in under those terms, you might want to reconsider grad school...

In engineering in addition to taking classes you can either be a teaching assistant, or doing research/thesis work. They will give you full tuition for free, and usually a living expense stipend. I've been doing that deal for almost 2 years now. Cash money.

Just be careful... once you get a full time job and start making money... it can be tough to motivate yourself to return to being poor and working 70 hours a week...

You can find jobs that will pay your way and give you work time to study. That way you aren't poor and you can go to grad school.

I know, I've heard this a lot.
its wierd: the higher my starting salary is after i graduate, the lower the odds of me going to grad school. But its something I know I want to do so it will happen.
thanks for the tip on engineering schools/ tuition waivers tho...I will be saving up money for grad school while im working in case I don't get an RAship. if i do end up getting an RAship, then I'll buy a trackbike

are you MS or PhD and which major? any advice on grad school admissions?

You also have to weigh what major you are in and if it is beneficial for you to get your masters in the field you have chosen. Something to think about, I was already making masters starting salary just over 2 years into the job. That's the two years I would of been sitting in class instead of making money. The power industry doesn't really reward for a masters in electrical, once you reach the rank of qualified engineer the salary gap is so small the amount you put into school vs putting more than that into your 401k/retirement system usually outweighs the former. I am considering going back to grad school, but there is no way in hell I would get a masters in EE. A masters in EE wouldn't even give me a raise at this point in my career unless I left my company to pursue research somewhere. I would most likely get a MBA. The pay is a lot higher in upper management ranks, but then you got to weigh is your life worth that much pay because the upper management ranks work a lot of hours for that pay. Right now I make enough money to support a family of people and have a lot of free time to be with that family.

Then again, 80% of what you learn in school is useless garbage because your company will retrain you to think the way they want you to. Basically what you learn in engineering is to problem solve, that's your most valuable skill you pick up in school.
