I apologize. I am referring to rural public schools like Vernon or Lincoln Parish. Beauregard and Rapides are some what similar

Are those seriously the only places you'll be willing to look for a job?

I scored well enough that I could get into ULL or McNeese. I could have went back to Tech if need be. However, I just knew that SU had the best offer.

Of course not. I am looking across the nation for engineering or physics jobs. I only mentioned those parishes as a frame of reference as to why I am not interested in education.

But the topic is, what would you do in my situation. So let's focus back on that.

I gave you my advice in my first post. If you don't like it, be a grownup and figure it out for yourself.

The purpose of this thread was to ask what would others do in my situations. It's ironic that only Upper Decker caught my meaning.

Most of you judge me for going to SU. But considering my circumstances and education, going to SU seems attractive to someone who wants to be a engineer but is having difficulty with some classes at their university no matter how they study.

I never meant to drag education into it, only stating that just because someone got a degree in something does not mean they want to teach. I want to be either an engineer or a PhD Physicist in an applied science area.

If a change in institutions is the difference between happiness and being miserable in a classroom, then it's a small price to pay to go to an 'easier' school. Not like it matters since a lot of people find good jobs regardless of their education.

TLDR Going to SU for engineering is better than doing a job just cause other people say it's what you should do.

:sigh:

You need to realize... No one gives a frick. No one knows you.

But you are being judged... for continuously starting redundant, dumbass, attention-whore threads.

I judge you for getting shitty grades in college.

I am actually doing very well at Southern. My grades are much better than at Tech and I'm undesired long the material.

Are you taking undergrad classes? What are you doing well in? Graduate level device physics?

I'm taking undergrad and grad classes in EE. My undergrad was Physics. My project comparing thin films before and after chemical deposition.

It's still in planning since I'm gathering the materials (waiting for my refund check.)

I would never hire you. Not because of your education or abilities but because you are annoying.

It's that very persistence that has gotten me this far.


But I do understand my posts are becoming un welcomed.
