I really, really wanted to do Criminal Justice but the future prospects didn't look that great financially. By doing Computer Forensics I am still taking Criminal Justice classes, plus Networking classes and can do a combination of the sorts - whether it be Network Security/Forensic Analyst, etc

Be a physical therapist...and write prescriptions. And make about three times as much as a master's pt. And run the pt department of a given hospital.

7 Year program at certain schools. Masters is 6 everywhere else.

I'm at Bradley University right now, which has the only Doctoral pt program in Illinois, but am transferring to Southeastern Louisiana University next semester for baseball, and then follow up the Doctoral program at LSU.

Bsc. Major in Computer Eng. minor in stats and math ... there were no jobs in my field... so now im working as an analyst for an insurance company... i felt the $8k+ a year to get that degree was tottaly not worth it :down:

I did learn a lot, and you will soon learn experience > education to get a job. to move up in life tho, you need the education. I just wish i spent less money and got a more "general" degree... then took courses as i worked.

The last three to four years are medical school, and I have to take my own version that dr's take(mcat).

The last 3 years are year around though.

i didn't go to school a year and a half out of high school.

i have one week of class left and one final the week after, then i'm done with my undergrad.. no class this week :yay:

might start my masters in teaching next fall if the whole job thing doesn't work out the way i want it to.

just checked my report thing for school. class i took over the summer transferred in. 124 credits needed to graduate. i've got 125
