Let's assume you have a 8-4 job, with the occasional stress time whereby you work 8-6 or 8-7. When you get home, what exactly is it that you do, say 6-1am? That's 7hrs of free time. And weekends, what do you do with two whole freaking days of free time?!

You're gonna have to work hard to convince, me, because every person I see around me has lead a better life after school than at school (and none of them have taken anything as hard as ECE)

So did guys get a easy degree, or do you have a nasty job?

After about 10 to 15 years of working, that in itself is stressful. I'm bumping 25 years in the workforce and I'd give a nut to have more than two weeks off. Damn, that's depressing, I haven't had a break from work for more than two weeks in over 25 years......

What field?

After doing full-time co-ops in the CS field, and seeing what the other people in my office do...man...work is a joke.

I concur.

I'm a full time student right now and working as a part time network engineer and this is hell. I work like 35 hours a week and then 4 classes, it sucks. I love my job and I just wish I had my job only....less than 2 years left....

School's got me down lately. I think this will be my hardest semester (3rd year, sem1). Everyday I come home early and I study, or do a lab, or a lab prep. On a good day, I manage to get in 1hr of excercise, 15 mins of TV and 20 mins of foosball. So that's life right now

And it'll only get worse. According to my calendar I will not have a proper rest until the end of December.

I can't wait til I am outta this hell hole and into a decent job. Right now I can barely imagine having seemingly countless hours of free time (not to mention money!).

OH my freaking GOD, I read this thread title and I am shocked to read what a whiny ass you are. "I only get 20 minutes of foosball", "I only get 1 hr of exercise", "15 minutes of TV" Jesus H. Christ." I would KILL to be in your shoes. I would love to be young and healthy and be able to goto college. YOU HATE YOUR LIFE?? You are an ungratefull sh!t. How could you say you hate your life. Now me I HATE MY life. My life consists of going to Dialysis 3 times a week since I have kidney failure, Sitting in a wheelchair because I have 2 broken hips that will NEVER heal because I have SEVERE Osteoporosis, I have 1 vocal cord left because I had Thyroid CANCER, I have Severe Hypertension, I have CHF (congestive heart failure), I'm a stroke waiting to happen, Plus about a ton of other problems BUT THE REAL KICKER IS I am only 32 years old and I have been on Dialysis for 11 years. AND YOU HATE YOUR LIFE??????

Did I mention I have not PISSED In 11 years??? Or Walked in 4 years??? That I have to sh!t in a bucket???

When you graduate will have a good job and good pay and you will be able to play foosball all you want on your free time. While I struggle to stay alive so I can see my 7 year old son grow up.

Shame on you. Be gratefull for the GIFTS you have, And next time you take a nice long PISS think of me. Because while your pissing, everything I drink fills my lungs up with fluid.

And to all you idiots who will flame me, Well you never seen me make a topic on how much I hate my Fvcking life? I am not feeling sorry for myself I just can't believe some people sometimes.

Why 27 hours? That just nuts.

I think I'll stay around 15 a semester, should help keep the GPA up. I'm not out of here in 4 years anyhow since I'm doing co-op.

Tuition is free for in-state people here so I'm not running up huge debts either.

EDIT: I really can't say I've heard of anybody taking 27 hours here, at least not Freshman. Don't know about upperclassmen.

In some ways. Overall I think work is better. You are paid for your activity and - depending on the job - you don't bring work home with you. When you leave, your nights and weekends are yours. No homework to do. No final exam hanging over your head the whole semester.

BUT, school has its benefits. You are autonomous - you are in control of your day. That is a HUGE thing. Enjoy it while it lasts, and remember, there are so many things we do that are complete wastes of time; school is NEVER a waste and will you will reap the rewards from it later on.

Honestly. I go to an affluent college and almost everyday I gotta hear some innane bitching about "I didn't get the car I wanted from mom and dad", "My credit cards are maxxed and parents won't pay them" "It s tuesday and I gotta study I want to goto the bar". Or just kids bitching about a 4 course load, and who still manage to flunk out every semester.

All I want to do is bitch slap em. Life is rough cause you got to go to class ? How about half my friends who can't even go to college. How about the one who is living out of his car and dumpsters cause of a heroine addiction. How about the one who has to pay the mortgage on his dad's house BY HIMSELF cause the dad just up and left one night, even though he s 19.

I swear some people fucken get to me.

Props to you dude and good luck with your problems. At least you re a man about it.

An UofT Engineer once found the gates of Hell
He looked the devil in the eye, and said "You're looking well"
The devil looked right back at him, and said "Why visit me -
You've been through Hell already; you went to UofT!"

Hahah.. I know how UT Eng can be. Chem Eng, 2nd Year... 33/week. You've got it nice and easy - this year is my make or break year.

When I get home I have pretty much zero free time, but that hasn't got me down. I'm getting straight A's in all my classes and life is holding up. I think I'm going a bit crazy though. I hope I don't crack under all this pressure.

When he says 27 hours, thats lecture+lab+recitation hours all rolled up into the final number.

Phys1 at Tech would be...6? (4 1hr lectures + 1 2hr lab) hours of class. Etc etc.

The highest you can take without petitioning for more is ~21 credits at GT. Of course everyone has a genius friend in BME taking 22 credits...who somehow maintains a 4.0 gpa.

I love how everyone here is posting about being busy yet most are diamond members.

 

[carldon]

You are doing what you're doing because you chose to. Atleast you had a choice. There are lot of people, some on this thread, who havent had that choice. If its so hard, why dont you take less credits and spend an extra six months in college? And while you're at it, get out of that hole and see the world.

CD.

AND THEN HE WROTE:

Every night as I am going to sleep, I think of a better life. I mean, this whole thing goes against everything I love. I love going for 50km bike rides, hiking for days though high mountains, bing with friends and having fun.

I too think of a better life, where I can walk, run, urinate, work, grow old, and one day see my grandchildren.

from what i hear, ut is a harder school, but uw is a better school. im in 1st year systems, and honestly, its not that hard *cross fingers*... meanwhile, my friends in eng sci, the ut equivalent of systems, are working their asses off hardcore.

*goes back to coop applications*

 

[nageov3t]

the nice thing about school is that you're always doing something different. different classes every semester, and just when classes stress you out, you switch it up and go to work for a few months over summer vacation.

with a real job, you're doing the same thing every day, for years. with maybe 2-3 weeks of vacation that can't be taken consecutively.

I have a lot more free time now that I'm out of school, but I'm also a lot more tired (and hence, not able to enjoy it as much). while in college, whenever we had free time we'd have a party, go to the bar, etc... now, whenever my friends and I are free, it's usually something a lot more mundane like dinner and a movie, or poker nights.

I did most of what you are mentioning and more. I got straight As and it was a cakewalk.

Please don't compare HS to college.
