Third year med-school student. Quite frankly it's a cluster fuck. First two years were only theoretical, now it's getting to be more fun (attending surgery, necropsy) and talking to patients. I want to follow a career into plastic surgery later, but I haven't made up my mind up yet. My future prospect doesn't look too good, money-wise though, even after graduation. I'll most likely end up working in Sovjet Sweden (girlfriend's from there) with a shit salary, giving all my money to people on well-fare which rob my home while I'll be at work.

Originally posted by Joss Weatherby Sorry, but your kitchen really was ugly. It looked like someone shit all over the walls. I would know obviously because I shit all over my walls.

That's rich coming from someone who lives in his aunt's basement. Or leeches off his parents or whatever the fuck it is you don't do with your life.

How is that more insulting to me than me saying I smear fecal matter on my domicile.

Because it's not even your house.

I am a journalist in the LA area, which essentially means I'm unemployed. It's extremely rewarding in the sense that I can get free access to just about any show or festival I want and I'm doing something I care about (writing + music), but the pay is shit. So, I decided to buy a one way ticket to Argentina to teach English to the linguistically-handicapped down in the seedy underbelly of the Americas. We'll see how that goes.

I work full time as a hostess at two different restaurants, then on the weekends I scare people for fun and profit. I also go to school full time.

i am a full-time mental patient.

lead designer with a small graphic design studio for the past 2+ years, and i'm also a UX and graphic designer with a startup out in san jose/vegas (the rest of the team is between those two cities). for the past year i've worked out of my home/loft/studio. the freedom is pretty awesome, but i find i tend to never leave my desk, and i really enjoy collaboration, so I miss that aspect of working in a shared studio space.

i have a bachelor of architecture degree but hated the corporate and bureaucratic nature of the 'profession', so i decided if i was ever going back to architecture i'd do it on my own.

if things go well with the startup, i'm going to cash out with my stake and start my own multidisciplinary art/design studio and focus on my major interests: subcultural territory in urbanism and architecture, informal/DIY/recycled architecture, installation art, and information/UX design- all of this glued together with contemporary nonlinear dynamics and materialist theory. the studio will be called 'form/formless'.

i'm also interested in taking classes in fashion design mostly to master the basic skills needed to make some of my own collections - not interested at all in the fashion industry though. i would say this is more of a hobby type of interest though. i just like to make stuff on my own.

I'm gonna come work for you when I'm done with school.

Originally posted by Frenkieee I am a Business Intelligence Consultant. I design and maintain reports and dashboards based on tons of corporate data so the higher management can make better strategic decisions. It is both challenging, satisfying and rewarding.

WHAT ARE YOUR KPIs?! I used to manage some dashboards in an Oracle based tool; I kind of miss it.


My broader role is defined as sales strategy. The most accurate description of my job function would be that I am an internal consultant focused on maximizing profit by managing mix, like-for-like pricing, and minimizing allowance spend. Within that role I run strategy & operations for one of our larger business channels that is a collection of regional accounts. I've worked very hard to bring a lot of standardization in processes and execution but what I really enjoy is the ad-hoc analysis and tool development. I do love it but it keeps me VERY VERY busy.

Can someone explain to me the American university levels? Wikipedia is tl:dr.

What is the difference between bachelor's degree and master's degree? PhD (equivalent of doctorate in Europe)? Post-graduate? Under-graduate?

And to think, it's all undone by a few simple plugs here on TA.

Buy Kenmore!

Bachelor's is a four year degree, what people can get right out of high school. "Undergraduate" means someone getting a bachelor's.

Master's is a ~two+ year degree done after Bachelor's.

PhD is ~four+, generally, and equivalent to doctorate in Europe. Done after Bachelor's or Master's.

"Graduate" and "graduate school" means someone getting Master's or higher. "Post-graduate" can refer to work after a PhD, done with a view toward fulfilling career requirements / improving job prospects.

Some other terms for U.S.:

"College" is an institution granting a four year degree (bachelor's) -- that's the technical meaning, but it's often used more loosely to mean any institution granting bachelor's degrees and higher ("in college" is sometimes used of someone who is in graduate school, for example). "College" can also mean a subdivision within a larger school; for example, many universities will have a "College of Engineering."

"University" generally means a school that has a college granting Bachelor's degrees, plus other divisions granting Master's or higher.

I've heard people use post-grad and graduate interchangeably.

Yeah, that too.

The terminology here is kind of crap, as far as consistency.

not always. my B. ARCH is 5 year degree, professionally accredited, whereas a BS in Arch is 4 years, non-professional.

Yeah, and some engineering degrees can also take five years.

But four is the general rule.

I would really like to run you through a Heavy Duty wash cycle followed by an NSF certified high-temperature Sanitary Rinse.



....features which can of course be found on select Whirlpool washing machines.
