Weekly College Bitch-a-thon

[Hugh Gellatts]

"Anyway, a less painful way to get thru some of the more annoying classes is to see what classes you can do in the summer sessions. They are shorter & more class-intensive, but often they are smaller classes, even for the weed-out classes, and the content isn't necessarily as "thick" as the equivalent classes during the regular school year. Anyway, just a suggestion. Plan ahead, see if you can get some of those credits done in the next 2 summers."


that is exactly what I was going to say. I'm in summer school now, and most of the students are upperclassmen getting distribution requirments out of the way.

I work at a credit union. I was supposed to be the financial advisor and loan officer with some tellering. Now I find out that I am just a glorified teller. I work with a bunch of morons, none went to college. I found out that I am not a lona officer, but rather a dipshit that fills out the loan app. and has the members sign it when it gets approved. The financial advising is me in my teller station telling people to invest in CD's and the money market for a shit 3% return. I went to lunch with a manager and she told me that being a teller IS where I want to be because of the opportunity to cross sell. It brought to mind the line "don't piss down my back and tell me it is raining." I am at an all time low, so low that I saw an ad for a loader oporator at the dump and recycling center and it pays what I make. I am going to apply, atleast there is no customer service and you work 4 ten hour days.

Oh, thought about the MBA, but I am not so sure it isn't a waste of time and money too. I read that MBA's are getting as common as bachelors now.

I'm not worried about the money because I'm on a more-than-full scholarship (so basically they pay me to go), but the time it's wasting really sucks. I already have some classes planned for next summer session(s) that I'd like to take during the shortened session. I took Statistics this summer... as if the class couldn't get any easier.. lol. The professor left like a whole chapter out of the curriculum because we "didn't have enough time." We didn't? We had plenty of time. He probably just spent two or three days in a row teaching the same shit. (I wouldn't know, since I never went).

Mark my words, though. I won't let the college win this one. I WILL TRIUMPH.

THEY WILL BOW BEFORE ME. I WILL CRUSH THEIR SKULLS WITH MY MIGHTY BOOT AND THEN BATHE IN THEIR BLOOD.

I disagree with that. MBA's here in Atlanta have been in demand. In might be a year or 2 of hell to go through, but in the end, you'd have better companies to choose from.

Did I hear you say "MBA?" T-minus 10 seconds before Matt comes and flames all of us. =)

I've got an M.B.A. In San Francisco, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting someone with an M.B.A.

If MP5 wanted to pursue a career in finance, his time would be better spent taking the Series 7 exam and then going to work for Schwab or someone.

 

[RyanH]

I know that law degrees with M.B.A's are in big demand.

The prospects for an M.B.A. probably also depends on where you live.

 

[Latimer]

I got a pimping ho's degree.

Hee Hee..

No flame....but if you are a bank teller, I agree that an MBA will HELP your job prospects. It can;t really get worse.

See....MBAs are funny. There are 2 kinds of MBAs.

There are MBAs from top business schools like Wharton or Stern, and then there are MBA's from "other" schools like St. John's.

The "other" MBAs are pretty much El Crappo. Maybe you can be the "teller supervisor".

The MBAs from top schools will give you the ability to make lots of money, without any real vision or leadership ability of your own.


Yeah. Tech Side rules.
