Accounting 2102
Microeconomics
Legal Environment of Business
US History
US Government
Survey of Art

I'm going to have class Monday through Thursday...

Most of them are going to be lecture based, meaning exam-focused....we'll see. I might end up dropping one of them

18 Credits is doable. You just have to manage your time well and stay focused.

I took 18, 17 and 18 credits the last 3 semesters. It's challenging but doable.

I agree. I took 18 hours at least once in undergrad. Time management is the key!

I'm looking to go back to school for my PhD in economics next fall. Been doing research and have heard a lot of times you can get most of the tuition covered. 5 more years in school but come out still in my 20's probably straight to upper middle class. Econ PhDs make bank and depending on what industry they go into they aren't working slave hours to make that bank either.

Tuition is covered plus you get a living stipend. I'm switching phd programs this fall. My school is giving me a $1000 relocation allowance and an extra $4000 living fellowship (my first year stipend plus moving allowance is $37,000).

Based on my experience, private universities give way better stipends and they typically aren't attached to teaching and TA'ing. Teaching and TA'ing will greatly increase the amount of time it takes to complete your degree.

Make sure you do well on the GRE, create your application profile and send out the links to your recommenders as soon as the online app opens (they will appreciate it), and think about investing in a professional editor for your statement of purpose. I used kibin.com.

Also, Grad cafe forums is a great place to get guidance.

Feel free to ask me anything about applying (I only applied to Top 20s and IVYs and I had a very successful application season).

Best of luck!

I'm going to UTM in TN, for now I'm going for the basics on first semester. I need to brush off the dust in a lot of areas that I was never interested in before school. I dropped out my junior year, went around the U.S., saw things, came back and had to re-evaluate who I am.

I found TheColi, and that gems on women thread really changed my outlook. I'm a guy who was raised by my mom and sister, no father figure. I realize now, that I have to be my own man with my own goals and my own way of doing things.

That being said, this first semester I'm getting 15 college credits, now I could drop out and join the military right away with just that, or continue to accumulate debt and get a major in engineering. I met a vietnam veteran who lives out 9 miles from where I stay. Dude is cool as fukk. He's been an engineer for about 47 years after he got out of the military. He's now 62 and retiring in 2 weeks.

He showed me things he made, I never really thought about the cool shyt you can come up with by yourself in that field, and not only that you could be hired for repairing things, which also gives you more experience.

I dunno brehs, right now I'm thinking of doing 1 semester in the basics of study, and business as my major, next semester I'm definitely gonna switch it up to something I really want to learn. I'm 20 years old, my whole life is changing monumentally right now. I don't just want some money I can support myself with, I want to get into making my own things and also fixing other things as well.

I also my go in PT because I have 'magic hands', when I hit the right spot people immediately feel better.

rule of thumb: Never take Calc III, Diff EQ, and Accounting at the same time (especially in the summer)
