    Heh... I just finished graduate school...

    Finished my last two finals tonight and just turned in my remaining assignments. The reality of it hasn't hit me yet, but I think I'm going to be pretty happy when it does. I haven't breathed that sigh of relief that I thought I would... I can't shake that thought in the back of my mind that there is something to freak out about or worry over.

    I went through the entire degree program while working full time and trying to still have a life. It wasn't easy... in fact, it was downright miserable at times. Many sleepless nights, many weekends where I couldn't do anything fun, many evenings of not seeing my wife at all... the list goes on. I've even had to take homework with me on trips/vacations and work on stuff while I was there... ugh.

    Well, those days are over. I can now see what it's like to just go to work and go home. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself.

    Now I get to pay for thousands and thousands in student loans, lol.

        Hey, great job. It is all behind you now.

        What are your degrees in? Hopefully something that will help pay off those loans quickly. :wink:

                  My BA is in Public Administration, which is unrelated to my field of work (information technology). The degree I just finished is an MS in Computer Information Systems, which is very relevant to my career.

                  Whether or not it pays off remains to be seen, but it was at least very good for my own personal enrichment.

                    Congradualtions man. Here at UCSC everyone is in finals week too and hoping to graduate, including my wife.

                    Graduate school can be a bitch, a lot fo our friends are finishing graduate school and working weekends/nights sucks. But at least youll be able to hit the 9-5 routine and get paid from now on! (Even though most of it will go to student loans lol)
