karenmeal 0 #1 June 10, 2007 Yesterday I graduated with a B.S. in Speech and Hearing Sciences from the University of Washington. Now I need to figure out how to safely do some head-down in my cap and gown.

skymama 35 #10 June 10, 2007 That's awesome, congrats! Now what are you going to do with your degree? She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karenmeal 0 #11 June 10, 2007 Well, I've been in the real world before and I miss it. I'm really looking forward to going back to a solid 40 and a paycheck. Unfortunately, I'm not quite there yet, I start grad school in the fall. I should get my Master's within 2 years and then it will be on to the real world as a speech language pathologist.

karenmeal 0 #12 June 10, 2007 QuoteLooks like you graduated with honors, too... Magna Cum Laude. I'm pretty proud of that. Especially considering since my first try at college I dropped out with straight F's. (And I was soooo close to Suma Cum Laude..)

PLFXpert 0 #13 June 10, 2007 Quote I'm really looking forward to going back to a solid 40 and a paycheck. Seriously! I think I had more work & put in more hours (when you count research & writing time outside of class) IN college and, I wasn't getting paid!

ACMESkydiver 0 #16 June 10, 2007 Quote Well, I've been in the real world before and I miss it. I'm really looking forward to going back to a solid 40 and a paycheck. Unfortunately, I'm not quite there yet, I start grad school in the fall. That is SO funny because it's what I said in college...then after working for YEARS, it was 'damn I wish I could go back to school and ditch this job' ...then it went the other way when I was in aerodynamics (tough class). Ah well, if you're doing what you love, you'll enjoy your job. (and getting better pay always increases love of the job...) Quote I should get my Master's within 2 years and then it will be on to the real world as a speech language pathologist. That will be so cool...I absolutely cannot believe how short the Pacific NW is on SLP's. (-It is typically 8 months-2 YEARS wait to get in to an SLP where we live...we are still waiting.) Edit to add: and if you're good at what you do (and knowing the kind of person you are, I can't imagine that you wouldn't be at the top of your field) you will never want for more opportunity...you can go as far as you choose.~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.
