As a fresh graduate, I can't stress enough the important of lining up a job before you graduate, look for new grad programs a lot of companies have them, and apply even if you do not meet all of the qualifications.

Sign up for LinkedIn and fill your profile with all the relevant information, and when you are ready to find a job activate the free month of premium (remember to cancel at the end its $30).
While you have premium, look at the linkedin learning section, and complete some courses for whatever yo want to do (assuming you didn't major in it) they have a wide range of certs, they are free and very easy.

Your first job out of college, is important, starting at 30k vs 60k will have a big impact on your life direction. Good luck everybody, I am so glad to be done, until that Stanford or Harvard MBA rolls around. :win:

School is kicking my ass. A paper or some sort of write up due every week plus the class room discussions, the reading :mjcry:Definitely underestimated taking 2 masters level classes at once, but once I pass the first 4 classes of my program, I'll be awarded a certificate in applied data analytics from SAS, so at least there is something tangible before completing the whole degree. I like the program though, just a lot of work.

All I'm going to say is that if I would have knew what I know now, I would have probably went to trade school. I got my degree but it was pointless. At 37, I rather just start my own online business.

To those who have graduated or going to school good luck much love & success.

All I can say is keep a copy of all the assignments you turn in. The final project I turned in for my last class is basically the same final project for this current class. I'm going to use a different tool to do the analysis, update the screen shots and keep it moving. Already having an 8 page document on deck to build from is legit comforting.

Maths took people out in my degree. I have alwaysn struggled with maths but the trick is to make sure you know how to use formulas. You need to be able to use formulas with a blindfold on. Once you know how to use relevant formulas you just plug and play

You can eat good of cheg

My advisor said all I got left is Calc 2 and Stats and I know Stats is no where near the difficulty of Calc 2 so I'll be alright when after I retake Calc
