News:

Bigotry is abound, apprently, within these boards.  There is a level of supposed tolerance I will have no part of.  Obviously, it seems to be well-embraced here.  I have finally found something more fucked up than what I'm used to.  Congrats. - Ruby

Mistake #1.  I did that, and found out the horrible, horrible truth.

What truth is that?

I like math an physics. <:sad:>


So do I.  Unfortunately, though, unless you have the time & money to pursue a PhD - which I didn't, at the time - you can either teach high school or flip burgers.  Given that I hate people, the former was out of the question.  So I went into the trades, and then eventually mookdom.

Ah, I'm going to hide in education and am going for my phd. After that I will start flipping burgers though, if I'm lucky and Irelands industry doesn't completely collapse.

I grew up in Tampa...well, da Burg, actually.

I passed AP tests.

I still had art and music in school, which is more than what Rhode Island has.

Go to Florida State or Florida. You'll do fine. Just...don't go to USF, you'll get shot.

Univ of Miami isn't a bad school.  Well they gave me a degree, but don't hold that against them!!

Why the HELL did you spend the money to go to a private school in Florida when you can go for FREE to ANY of the big state schools as long as you graduated in the top 10% of your class?

That alone was a serious enough drive for me to get straight A's.

Actually graduated from a private school, too...But she did get a year and a half at FSU for free.

I went on scholarship and it was school specific, offered by the company I was working for at the time.

I didn't graduate high school in Florida, I moved there after 2 years of college up north, worked for 2 years and finished my degree then.

Okay, as long as you went on scholarship. That school is NOT cheap. Well, it wasn't cheap 10 years ago, so I can't imagine what it is now. I just remember soooo many kids applying to go there, and the counselors at our school going, "Are you SURE?"
