End Of The Road?

Post by Karou Ariyen »

One semester stands between me and graduation, but that opens up another question. I have no idea what to do. I went after an automotive engineering degree thinking it would be good money and a good job. Then I supported most of the trip via cooking. Now I'm down to 2 major questions: Do I continue where I am, cooking, or Should I just go after my masters degree? I'm at the top of program, so I'd be eligible for my college's master program. But the last 3 and a half years have been a stressful nightmare.... I'm so confused.

How about looking for a job in the AE field that will pay you to further your education?

As the proud daughter of a Marine have you looked into opportunities in the military?

I could suggest taking a year off from school and studying for the GRE while cooking and thinking about a master's.

Also, is the cooking fun?

Asthma, Marine's won't let me in because of that. As for the AE Field, something interesting happened today. I was down picking up my books for next and final semster. I ran into a guy who was there scouting the summer programs and the current graduation list for my program. I am with 10 other people on a recruiting list for a company that engineers and designs stock cars down in Louisville. Provided i keep my 4.0 GPA, I stand a good shot. The problem that I have to face is the final hump of Math and a few drafting classes. The math is going to be the worst part. More Advanced Trig/Calc. I barely got through this last semster o.o;

For all my research has done, the best path to take for Master's and eventual Doctorate, that's local, seems to be Ball State University in Muncie Indiana. Although the alure of going to Colorado State is very, very appealing. And I wish I had known that Northern Illinois University had the same accellerated Bachelors program as where I am. I could have easily gotten into NIU.
