Well the issue is that I am 38 years old and not sure how a PhD will help me
in my future. I started taking classes towards masters as I was bored at
work, however I now have a new job 

- smarter and wiser folks always told me that the only reason to get a PhD
was to be a professor, with a few exceptions (Geologists are one specialty
that comes to mind).  If you don't plan on working in academia, don't bother
with the PhD.

[MBZ] Trampas at NCSU

2008-06-05 Thread Rich Thomas
I took my daughter there a few months back to look at the school, saw a 
dude driving a good-looking 240D (gray? black?) across campus, 4 spd, 
daughter noticed it too.  Was that you?

 Subject: Re: [MBZ] booting off of a usb flash drive

 My last year of undergrad work at USF was about
 $118/hr with about $100 tossed on top for various
 fees.

 So a 12 hour load was about $1500, plus books  That's
 where the really screw you - figure $100/credit hour
 for books.

 I had a prof that made a very handsome living out of
 writing textbooks.  Their's was one of the most
 expensive I ever bought, and the jerk made sure that
 he wrote revisions to it every semester, so you
 couldn't use old editions (at least you weren't
 supposed to, but some of us did.)

 What a racket.

Nope, I think I have seen that car. I currently have a black 560SEL, gray
420SEL on the road. 

I ended up giving away my 300SD, after fixing it, to a friend who wanted to
do the biofuel thing.
