Didn't practice my opening remarks for my thesis defense today.

I'll just make it short and do my best to ad lib. Committee will probably appreciate that anyway.


Good luck man

Was very low-pressure and conversational. I don't even need to edit anything. Can just submit my paper to the graduate office and I'm done. B)

Plus I managed to avoid getting a parking ticket for the 2 hours I was there rofl.

I could explain the scam that is college parking to you, but it's likely an issue you'll never encounter :lol:

Depends on how you go about it. In the states it's a pretty big racket, but there are ways to get through some schools without going too far into debt. As long as you're flexible on what you're willing to do or you have a profitable career path in mind before starting, it's easy enough to pick a path with high availability and middle-class + starting wages.

The idea that everyone needs to go to college and you're a failure if you don't, is the scam. Half the time kids don't know what the fuck they're doing or why they're there. They end up like a buddy of mine who took a lot of photography and literature classes because they seemed interesting at the time and now his bachelors isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

That's kind of how I wound up in teaching writing tbh.

Probably would have learned coding if I could do it all over again, but I didn't even know about that as a career option back then.
