Hi, all! Was curious whether there might be anyone else on this site who is currently in undergrad hell. Or even grad school for that matter! What are you studying? What are you hoping to do with it? How's it all going for you?

As for me, I'm currently in school for my B.A. in English. Originally I thought I wanted to be a teacher but that aspiration has become a little more... complicated due to schools' handling COVID, violence in schools, etc, so I'm, er, reassessing my options. I'm thinking of going into nursing school after I graduate because I spent some time as a vet tech and really liked the clinical setting. But hey, what about y'all?

I'm going back for a history degree, hoping for higher if not a doctorate. Specifically either Scandinavian or Viking history, inspired heavily by the family history research. My Dad and I have been doing for fun the past several months and we found ties back to the Viking Era of England through all four of my grandparents. (The main reaction to this, abroad, has been "Stupid American, stick to your own history." It... is my history? It's my family's history?)

I technically have my certification in graphic design but my college's handling the whole AI thing is less than satisfactory. It's been a case by case basis but I'm also not thrilled with the notion that, at the moment, with the lack of actual in-the-book rules or regulations or what have you, I could be booted from my course for baseless accusations quicker than I could actually prove I don't use AI at all. Especially since Adobe itself now has AI in the latest Photoshop.

And, unfortunately, the job market where I live is absolutely stagnant where graphic design is concerned. It's very much a form of the memes of "Have certification/degree, work at McDonald's."

Mine been studying for an associate on Automotive Technology for three years, tho in those years mine paid out of pocket and took one class at a time.

This semester is courtesy of federal aid, zo some pressure is added. But also, mine believe the degree plan is nearly completed, which means mine may not have to rely on aid for more than another semester.

In this profession the difference between keeping a job and termination can be having the ability to diagnose. Which at this time is not mine strong point.

I just saw these replies! Sorry, I'm a noob here and didn't get any notifications D: .... Congrats on going back to school! Have thought about grad school myself but am worried about how the job market looks for all that stuff, lol. Worried I would get a master's and have a similar thing you did to the graphic design deal - "have an advanced degree, work at McDonald's." Oh, the humanities....

Progress is progress! You'll def get there with experience and time.

I'm in grad school currently for Traditional Chinese Medicine. I finished up my Master's in August and my Doctorate will be done in Dec of 2024!

I graduated over a decade ago, but I wanted to express solidarity with those of you who are still in the academia trenches. College is hard, but y'all have got this! Best of luck on your upcoming finals, everyone!

I was a student back when I first joined Subeta, and as such this site always makes me feel a little nostalgic for those days :) bachelor degree in digital animation and post-graduate certificate in education!

Major props and massive respect to those of you in college right now (especially those of you whose education had to survive a pandemic in order to get you there) - wishing you all the best. You have so got this!!

Mine finals are in the nest two weeks, an for these particular courses it's not just a bunch of questions. For Engine Performance II and Automotive Electrical the students will have to show applied gknowledge about both using oscilloscopes and recognizing waveforms for identifying.

Mine began this new major right when the pandemic started, which hindered some activities greatly. Mine believe some key skills may need further practice before mine can justifiably use them.

It won't be long before mine announce completion, and any possible advantage thereof.

I'm not in school currently -- I actually graduated a year ago this week with my masters. I'm considering going back to school though. Lots of librarians in academic settings have multiple masters or even go for the phd so it's big on my radar for the future

I work with college students and I know finals are happening/right around the corner for many institutions...so best of luck to everyone ❤

I got my bachelor's by the skin of my teeth a couple years back, and given how rough it was for me I don't plan on returning to college any time soon. It was well worth all the pain but it's not something I'd put myself through a second time. That said, good luck to all of you here that are working towards your own degrees!

My graduation ceremony is in a few days, so im no longer a college student (university here). But I was for 6 years!

Update: Mine can finish the degree by the end of this year. Three classes are left to complete the requirements.

Mine never completed a thing in life, this would be only the second major step zo far...

No other prospects are in question.

Yes!! I'm currently a CompSci major, and I'd love to pursue something related to both Library Sciences + CompSci because I've worked in a library before (best job I've ever had).

Not yet, but i am going to graduate next year : (

School though
