What maths are you guys taking?
lol independent study is a joke. I did that a couple quarters for and it was a blast.
But yeah real math vs. business math is crazy. Business math is all decisions and allocation based and not necessarily numbers based, while some shit I've done, like dual variable, linear algebra its all derivations and not really useful for what I'm doing. (business/construction management).
Yeah I have a calc, but we get a ntoe card so I'm raping it right now and trying to get every little bit on the bitch cuz it takes forever to enter the proper formulas into my calc.
Haha I love independent study. I like real math, I like numbers and equations that aren't based on possibilities, and can find a solution to.
Interdisciplinary huh. No idea lol. Good luck you two.
Gotcha, thanks for the clarification.
Off topic, but how in the hell did you guys decide what you wanted to go to school for?
Honestly, I'm a year behind because of my late birthday, and I have no idea what I want to go to college for, ergo if I don't figure it out, I'm not going until I figure it out, I don't want to waste the time or money. I don't know, my mind fluctuates every day on what I want to do.
Thats why you file an application as an 'Undecided' major. You line up your gen. ed. classes and get those out of the way, while you figure out what you'd like to do.
Sometimes it will be harder to be accepted as an Undecided major, sometimes it will be easier. It depends on the number of applicants to the school versus the number of applicants the school desires.
In the end, you save more money by going to school directly out of high school in 99% of the cases. The opportunity cost of not going to school, is greater than the cost of going to school and not knowing what you want to do. The idea behind this is that those who do choose to go to school directly out of high school, will enter better paying jobs sooner than those who do not go to school directly out of high school. Also, statistically speaking, the majority of people who graduate from college are not employed in the area in which they received a degree. The key here is that these graduates have a degree which shows to their employers they have been committed to achieving a valuable goal in their life and it also commands higher compensation than those without a degree.
Essentially it makes the most sense to go to school immediately, barring a few factors. I was going to take a year off of school simply because my head wasn't in school. If you're just going to go to college and be so unmotivated that you fail out or do incredibly poorly, then it doesn't make sense to go until you're ready. It makes sense to go to college, if you're committed to performing well, even if you don't know what you'd like to do with your life. College is a learning experience.
//end.
thanks for helping me kill some time.
if some of you studied as much as you bitch and rant on HS you may actually have real degrees
