The chair of my department straight up told me that I couldnāt call myself an anthropologist since I didnāt have masters/doctorate. On the other hand, I gave other students better advising than they did.
You shouldāve come down to UTEP just to hang out with Dr. Carmichael. As far as Archeology stuff goes, the dude is just a G in it. Unfortunately our Anthro department is huge amounts of ass. This is all before we get into how laughable a lot of Anthropology Theory is.
Tech School for diesel engines, as a Marine I attended the US Army school for Engineering the course is for repair of construction equipment.
shit load of military training, alot of it is for various equipment or weapons
A+ training
Never finish college
Bachelors of Arts. Art history. St. Johns to Art institute. Am i working in my major? Nope. Once Iām in my mid 40s Iāll prob be an art teacher or something. Iām content with my current position ATM.
Iāve had a ton a jobsā¦really nothing sticks for meā¦donāt be surprised if Iām a cop in the next couple of months
You missed out. While Archeology isnāt really my thing (I mean its cool and all but I got into Anthro to study people), Dr. Carmichael is a pretty stand up guy. Did you ever make it to Hueco Tanks? If not you missed out double.
I would have had my Bachelors by now, but I originally quit university because I wasnāt prepared mentally. I bullshitted my way to high Aās in high school and it carried me to decent marks for half my degree. Then a girl came along and I changed my degree to be with her.
By that time I was only 20 though. Now Iām finishing that degree: IT majoring in Business Analysis, getting mostly As. Iām also an ISTQB certified Test Analyst on top. After my degree Iāll probably walk into a Grad job, do a Grad Diploma of something.
Unfortunately, critical thinking isnāt taught widely in schools, only methods to gain specialized skills. The resulting effect are graduates with a specific skillsets, but a lack of common sense wherewithal.
I have a bachelors in Art with an emphasis on Graphic Design.
Itās my first year in college and more than ever confused about what I want to do. To be truthfully honest, I donāt want to do anything, but I know that wonāt sit well with my mom (black parentsā¦). If I leave college, I wouldnāt be able to support myself. So Iām relying on pure perseverance to get me out of this hellhole called college. I am leaning towards Computer Science or Biology though. Computer Science is likely gonna be my choice.
Freshman in university right now. I was a History major for 2 quarters and changed to a Biology major just last week, but this means that Iām going to have to do 5 years to get my bachelors since all my class requisites are held back due to the major switch.
Thatās good stuff man. If you have a Bachelorās, youāre going to be even more attractive to employers.
-BS in Comp Sci/minor Computer Graphics(havenāt done graphics in years though)
-MBA
I know most people would only get a Masterās for job promotion purpose. Not me though; I did it mainly so I can say to myself, āMurrica College: Mission Comprete!ā. I thought about getting Phd but meh, Iām not planning to be a professor or anything.
Agreed, though to play devilās advocate to my own post, I did know a select few teachers (some from catholic schools, of all places) who did advocate critical thinking pretty heavily, and to challenge their teachings where you had reason and backing to do so.
Iād argue that specialized skills are better learned on the job for some people. Part of my āfuck schoolā sentiment is bad fellow students/teachers and the unpleasantness of those experiences, but another big part is that what I do now (professional technical/marketing copywriting) I didnāt take a single course for; I taught myself, crafted my own samples, and used those to find work, where I learned further.
I realize that my experience isnāt everyoneās though, and that school is very beneficial for many people. Learning however is awesome, for everyone.
-Bachelorās in Computer Science and certificate in Game Design.
-Minor in Japanese. I want to get back into it a little more because my kanji reading ability is terrible and Iām starting to forget the basic stuff I learned with the language.
-Doing some A+ training currently.
