Like, I don't get it. I jerked off forever because I was going to school for free while also getting a check from Uncle Sam. I was literally paid to go to school and kept going until they money train stopped. Why not get an advanced degree versus trying to ring up multiple bachelors?

Still weird to hear someone say they've got multiple bachelors of science. 'round here that would be a double major in biology and chemistry, not two separate majors.

Don't have em.

High school drop out. Got a GED and got an Associate's in the Sciences and transferred.
High school drop out, getting undergrad degrees in his thirties/forites. The end all and be all for all knowledge on all subjects; never being wrong or moving goalposts. Knows all current professional job markets despite never actually being in one. Seems sensible to accept his world views on everything.

There is no reason. Double majoring makes sense when you can do it in a semester, but advanced degrees are what matter.

I've had other people say that, and they're right. It probably would be best to just move on, since I have the BS in Anthro and that's really what I'm interested in doing.

I'm only like ~20ish credit hours total from completing the other degrees though, and my wife is like 30 hours from completing her Biotech degree, and I have two kids who are 14 and 11 so just kinda biding my time, waiting for them to get a bit older. Take care of my father, too, he'd be completely alone if I left the state since my mom died.

Life shit basically. All things in their place and time.

No matter how you try to dig and insult, nothing you can say bothers me. The things I've accomplished, particularly because of my background, the abject poverty my wife comes from, the personal and other issues I've had to overcome to get to where I am, I'm so happy to be who I am and to be where I am in my life. The people that matter, my father, my wife, my birth parents who I found this past year after 35 years without them, my kids, my mentor, the people I know in my personal life, they all see what I've done, how far I've climbed from how far I've fallen. Its just water off my back Z.

You say the hill's too steep to climb
Climb it.
You say you'd like to see me try
Climbing.

You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb
That hill in my own way.
Just wait a while for the right day.
And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds
I look down, hearing the sound of the things you've said today.

Jesus fuckign christ hodj, go smoke a joint or something.
Wish I could. That's part of why I haven't put my resume in yet. Quit smoking like month and a half ago. Making sure I'm good and clear before starting that shit.

People are asking questions and I'm answering them.

Might have a rum and coke though.

Serious question. Would smoking weed help make you relax? I like you as a poster but holy fuck I tab for 15 minutes and you've written more words then the bible and just about as full of shti. I kid I kid.

Seriously, that's exactly why I've smoked it for so many years. I have ADHD and am definitely high strung/really intense at times. The medications they usually prescribe for the stuff don't really help, like adderall, at all. Every time I've taken them I get all obsessive compulsive and shit. Way more than I am normally, and I'm normally pretty OCD.

Hopefully I can move to a medical state or like Colorado or something in a few years.

Or Obama will just decriminalize the shit on his last day in office by executive order and that'll put an end to it.

Last few times I took weed, I got EXTREMELY paranoid. One time almost attacked a mcdonald's employee because I was absolutely convinced they were calling the cops on me. Maybe it was just bad weed.

I usually just hit a bowl a couple times and then set it down for 30/45 minutes. Just sorta enough to take the edge off.

Can't remember the last time I got really stoned or smoked enough to get really blazed out.

This has been the first time I've tried to quit or quit that I haven't been really desiring to smoke again, which has been strange.

Hodj acting like male Mist sometimes makes a lot more sense now. He's steeped in the same cultures of higher education.

I actually have no idea what it is about Mist that pisses you all off. All his/her posts seem fine to me most of the time. Seems reasonable on all but the rape issue. Now I don't follow him/her around all the time reading all their posts, so there's probably lots of contextual things I've missed.

But that might be just confirming your point I wouldn't know. Academia has been good to me since I entered it. But as already stated, I really didn't enter academia till I was a lot older than most people.

Prior to that I just read a whole lot, especially world history and religion.

You are really upset that no one gives a shit if you get three undergrad degrees from a mediocre University. Good for you.
I know it is easy. I did neurobiology and molecular cell biology as an undergrad.

There are a lot of reasons to shit on Hodj but his desire to better himself through education is not one of them. People wishing to learn more about the universe that surrounds us, be it through history, sciences or mathematics, should be applauded, not ridiculed. Cut it the fuck out unless your dream is a world full of merlins and rhumas.

Jesus fucking christ this thread.

Two sides that aren't even understanding each other devolving into the most child-like of tactics when they come to a stalemate.
