I am still a student. On a daily basis, I attend classes, doing homework, studying, and participating in extracurricular activities. However, I'm tired of this routine "cause I want some social activities with friends, spend time with family, and pursue hobbies or interests outside of my academic pursuits. I have no time for all these pleasures due to my complex academic program. Especially, the difficulties with math calculus and homework makes me depressed.

Nope. Just a handful of o levels and the same job for 32 years.
Soooo how's retirement? Miss them doggies chasing after you? Driving the wife crazy? Gained a hundred pounds?
It's fine for the most part
Dogs! HA!
Still haven't bagged a wife !
Funny enough I haven't gained anything, yet. I'm as surprised as anyone.

If you are a student, or have graduated, what was your major, where do/did you attend, and did it lead you into a particular job based on that degree/specialization?
I graduated from North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC with a bachelor's in Sociology. I also attended the University of North Carolina at Wilmington for a few years studying psychology. I briefly attended a community college in Raleigh, NC to acquire my Nurse Aide I certification. I am now returning to school to get my associate's in Medical Diagnostic Sonography. So far, all of my education has done nothing for me. Intensely frustrating, but I should have known early on that a degree by itself will not necessarily open any doors for you, you have to have a strategy. Even though I graduated from a university, the degree is useless unless I return to grad school, and I never learned any marketable "skill." I strongly urge college students to not focus on simply graduating, thinking that it will open all kinds of doors for them. You must either be learning a skill that is in demand or have a plan for further education after graduation. I am 31 years old and my education is completely unable to serve me, except as a personal accomplishment and evidence that I can commit to and complete a complex and massive project (i.e. school). I'm finally returning to acquire a skill that will pay well and allow me to build a career.
Best thing as far as l'm concerned is to get a degree in financial accounting. I know many people who figured out their original degree was useless for getting a job so they went back and got an accounting designation.
I know one guy who got a degree in political science and then immediately did his MBA (accounting major) because as he put it "you can't get a job with a degree in political science."

BTW, I quit my job four months ago. I was always on the move walking up to 10 miles a day and burning those calories. Now its a struggle to keep from gaining weight!
Thanks for the link but I worked out a while ago that a wife/ girlfriend = at least 5 cds a week. So I made a choice.
What was your job ?

I'm a college dropout. Hopefully that counts for something!
I've met people who've been uni' and got their degrees. They were still thick as s**t, apart from their qualifications. As my dad says- ' can you change a plug'
