This makes the work easier for the prof/TAs, and means that the students who remain and are serious tend to get a better learning environment/more attention.
That, or the professor is just a dick and wants you all to know how stupid you are compared to their almighty personage.

Pretty bummed I can't take my cad 3 class since it turns out only 6 people registered for it. I don't need it to graduate but still I wanted to learn inventor, guess I'll do it on my own.
But last semester at community college, I need to figure out where to transfer to now. I'll have an AS in Engineering Science and definitely want to continue engineering. I'm leaning towards electrical engineering since I really enjoy doing controls, systems, and digital logic stuff. Any suggestions on schools? I'm currently looking into:
- Manhattan College
- NYIT
- SUNY Maritime
- NJIT
- University of Maryland Baltimore County (as a suggestion from my boss)
Anything local to the NY tri-state would be nice to keep costs down, but not going to deny at least applying out of state. Thanks for the input in advance fellow R3v engineers ;)

This school stuff is totally kicking my ass. I was supposed to be going full time, but the counselor talked me into taking only 2 classes because I'm new at this, and then the placement put me in too high of a math, so I ended up with only one class. I guess I'm glad though because this is proving to be so insanely difficult, I'm a 38 y/o freshman with little education past 5th grade and holy shit this stuff is hard, and I have PTSD triggers based around school which isn't helping. My homework that's supposed to take a few hours takes me two fucking days to get through. I don't even have a major or know what I am doing, I feel like I am wasting my time, but I really need to figure out how to earn a living wage, somehow.

No more school for me! Out in the adult world living it up. Feels good to be making some adult money as a structural/mechanical engineer.
Glad to see so many engineering majors being pursued in this thread. Good luck to you all. There were a ton of dropouts at my university, but then again a lot of people were able to make it through.My previous build (currently E30-less)

^^^ I would LOVE to be an engineer, I have absolutely no faith I could pull it off though. I found out recently my grandfather was some sort of engineer, he's the only college educated blood relative I am aware of. I have been having a lot of trouble coming up with a major I am both interested in and feel I am capable of getting through.
Really hoping I can figure out a way to earn some of this "adult money" before I get too old, if I'm not already. You guys who are able to do this school stuff in your 20s are SO lucky.sigpic

Anybody here in medical school? I'm thinking about going back to study something with medicine, what exactly I don't really know. All I know is that I don't feel like going back to manufacturing, whether it's working on a shop floor or being an engineer. I did that for six years and it felt pointless and draining. I want to do something that feels like I am improving somebody's life; the only problem is that I'm a very introverted, quiet person. I've always liked learning about all the different ways the body works so I'm not scared of the massive amount of info I need to learn, I just feel like once I were to step foot in a hospital I would be horribly awkward. Plus, since I turn 30 this month, I feel too old.
