Sir, you mistake me for an oracle.

Sometimes I don't know what the stuff that comes out of my head means.

I will say that this past month watching you dither about here about your education and potential career options like a eleven year-old girl trying to figure out what to choose at the Chuck E. Cheese ticket redemption counter has been mildly entertaining.

Thanks.

HINT: Go for the plastic spider rings at 5 tickets each. Great value there.

I'm not butthurt, my 8 years at LSU was glorious. No ragrets.

Take some courses to boost it above a 3.0 and get into grad school

It must suck to be stupid.

I am about to graduate with a degree in engineering and I'm stupid. Um... no

Even the most novice engineering grads I know from Tech or SU have pretty good jobs.

I respect Lawyers and their work, but I know law grads by default have a harder time finding jobs Sabi.

Maturity? You make bad grades and can't figure out what to do. Either it's not for your field and you need to move on or you aren't working hard enough. Children can figure that out easily enough. But instead, you start the same thread over and over... Southern... physics... engineering. Seems more like you want attention rather than help. Why should I take that seriously?

I checked ABET for LA and made a call between McNeese, ULL and Southern.

I got accepted into all 3 (actually 2, but I was about to apply to McNeese until SU accepted me)

I mean, physics is kind of important if you're actually going to be designing anything.

You have a good point. And honestly I pondered that before I completed my 1st degree. The difference between a child vs adult is that the adult seeks 'why' something is wrong instead of just seeing the obvious.

In my case, observation showed me that perhaps the environment was not for me, not the major.

Since I came to SU, I have made Excellent grades IN THE SAME FIELD OF STUDY. So is it really that I can't do something or is it that I struggled due to factors of my environment.(professors, study situation, contrary learning style differences) Considering I'm getting almost done with engineering school, that answer is obvious.
