Author Topic: Finals suck (Read 778 times)

Good Luck on your finals. Completed mine many years ago. Still remember a few of them. But after going through "finals" I realized they weren't finals. Just a new and tougher beginning.

I wish I were back taking my finals.

Welcome to the new reality show called......finding a secure well paying job! Not only with a comensurate pay scale but a job you really like!

Unfortunately in todays job climate.........experience is worth more then a degree. Having both after graduating College is impossible.

Good Luck! The starters Pistol is about to go off and you've just setup in the blocks!

ROFL, I'm really considering family law actually. Fastest way into the courtroom from what I can see. After my own divorce it seems like a relaxing time. And if nothing else, I feel compelled to move to Colorado and beat the crap out of "Cowboy Troy, incompetent attorney" *******.

My "finals" were the CPA exams.

Two days. Day 1 was two exams, each lasting 4 hours. Day 2 was two exams, one 4 hours the other 4.5 hours.

After that I felt like Rodney Dangerfield in "Back to School". Just before his last part of the oral exam question from the guy who was trying to get RD chucked out of the school he was sitting in the chair all flustered and said:

"I feel like I just gave birth....to an accountant."

It took about a week for me to stop dreaming about exam questions, showing up late for the exam, missing the exam, doing the exam and realising I was naked etc etc. when I was asleep.

Awesome! I'm currently the captain of PSU's sailing team, though that doesn't mean much. There ain't **** for water anywhere near here.

However, I was hoping to crew on a Star of one of our recent graduates in Annapolis. He still has to buy one, so I'm really pushing...

Also, with about 45 minutes worth of studying, I friggin spanked that test. Steel and Wood design and analysis can blow me!

I am a BS in Political Science (International Relations)...I swear 2 God I think I am the only person at my school out of a 500+ person major to not be attending law school!

As for me I will be getting laser eye surgery early to mid June....There will be a six month waiver until my vision is cleared to pass a US Army Class1a Flight Physical. In the meantime I will be working on my Warrant Officer packet...If all goes to plan, I should be leaving for the basic training by January/Feb 2007, and off to Warrant Officer Candidate School/Flight School (Fort Rucker, AL) by late spring! If I dont happen to get picked up on my first try I will go ahead and finish my masters degree. Anyone in the DC area? I am interested in George Town, George Mason and American...(Hopefully I get picked up though, and dont even touch my masters until my 30's).....

Anyways in the mean time I will be interning with the Department of Homeland Security (Connecticut), starting May 22. ooo how I will miss AH during the day

Yeah... It can be easy from what I've seen (been a paralegal some six years now)... BUT, you will NEVER get more pain in the bellybutton clients then a few parents ready to kill each other over granting one or the other an extra half hour of visitation...

It can really get into an "I need to crush my spouse" fest, and thos are never, ever fun.

Plus, they tend to call you every ten minutes. I gotta say, criminals seem much easier to deal with.
