What do you do/study?
 

i'm just curious, what do you study or what do you do for living?

i study second semester in graphic design, first semester's subjects were so off-subject, only one of them had to do with design -_-¡, the rest were: math (don't ask me why) english, orientation 'n such. This semester is more like it, i see basic drawing, but if u ask me, the things we're doing don't help much, i know cuz i draw U_U. I can't wait for the "GOOD" part to come, i wanna learn more about Photoshop, and macromedia flash :), right now all they have tought us are stuff like armony, color constrast and negativity, and some history, you know.

You?

I'm a freshman in college, and this is my 2nd semester. Art-wise I took Drawing 1 last spring, and this semester I'm taking Intro to computer art, which is pretty easy stuff so far. I can't wait to get into Flash and Photoshop and stuff.

Other than that I'm taking general ed stuff, algebra, psychology, etc...

I study Koreans. :D (bad inside joke... never mind me)


I used to study everything about the horse for 4 years to get a Bach of Science. Then I realized that didn't get me very far, so I'm working on a MAsters Desgree in New Media. Fancy term for graphic design as it applies to web sites and multi media. It's my dream to be a web designer, cause this job as a copy center clerk is really not want I want to do for the rest of my life either.

I also like to study art styles in comic books, the habits of Ninja Turtle fans, and Transformer toy history. Just for the hay of it. :wink:

Nothing...
And I recently learned that I don't have right to any money, since for that you should either, 1: searched for a job within 10 months since I finished a study (which i did in spring of 01) or, 2: worked for at least 3 months (which I haven't since I was at a University the following year, and therefore obviously never searched for a job, and dropped out after a year, and appearantly that doesn't count as studies since I didn't finish it...) :(
So I've been searching for a job for... *counts* a little bit more than a year now, and guess my dept to my parents for cash, food and shelter is around *checks the dollar-rate* $4,000 perhaps?

I'm doing an Art corespondence course...or for those that don't know what that means (because I've discovered some people don't), I stay home and take my collage courses by mail.

I'm still in high school, unfortunately. But I plan to go into criminology, once I graduate, which won't be long.

I am the grocery manager at a Kroger grocery store. It is, without a doubt; one of the worst jobs ever (mostly because it's a night job :dead:) I'd quit if I weren't making so much money.

Life.

my life is complicated...I already have a double B.A. in environmental science and biology with a minor in geology. I am currently taking criminology and mineralogy on campus. I am also taking a couple of classes through correspondance.....Calculus II (Integral Calculus), psychology, and Russian history. I also have 4 websites and I am currently working on another. In January, I will be working on a B.S. in geology.

I'm in college, studying computer science as my major (learning Java right now, which reminds me, I need to start my program that's due tomorrow :o )

I am in high school still grade 11. But eventually when I am out I will be going to college for computer science. And I have a part time job to get some money.

I'm not in school currently due to recent medical emergencies. But I work part time doing inventory at an eletronics store.

As for studying, I'd be going into art, definitely, and I'm currently teaching myself the finer points of comic book creation. :D

Medical emergencies?

First Year College - Auto Mechanics.

Yep, was gonna enroll last spring but I figured since I was gonna have surgery within a few months, I should put it off rather than miss a whole bunch of classes. Now there's the bills...

I'm studying to be a music major. Without music there is no world.

VIVA MUSIC!!!

I'm a Writer! :D

I Was a Marine Biology student, but seeing the number of people in that profession being pumped out of all the schools at such a fast rate, not to mention how much of it is all Just population studies and microscope work, (if you think its swimming with whales and talking to dolphins, go jump off a cliff now), I decided that my place was in the arts and such. I love to write, I"m always drawing, and singing is one of my favorite pastimes... :D

History Major!

Still in H.S. but next year I plan to major in journalism

Well, it all depends on what my school tells me I need to get out of there. Right now it's a mix of computer art, general literature, basic psychology, biology, and geometry. fun huh?

when i get to college, i'm going to get a major in general art.

in my free time... i was teaching my self japanese, but i haven't found any good books or computer programs that i can afford.

it's pretty tough, i tried it, i have too books, one good one bad, the good one was very expensie, and its big, i should try reading it again sometime

I'm in 3rd year Illustration. Not for much longer though.

On weekends I teach how to draw anime.

Sayonara.

i,,,, didn't get that :s, you're studing ilustration, how to ilustrate or something?

How to be an illustrator. You know, drawing and stuff.
But I don't like this school so I'm not going to continue much longer.

Sayonara

i don't like where i study either, but i have to continue until i graduate

Hmm
 

Any other graduates out here other than HT? *waves to HT*

I'm a third year PhD in Geology after having passed through a Masters (2001) at the same school. I'm an Aussie who came over here in 1999 for grad school, after doing a BScHons in Geology/Zoology back home.

With any luck I'll graduate by December 2004. That's if I pass my Qualifying Exam (and yeah, it does need capitals :roll: ), a loverly combination of writing a 15 page research proposal; a 6 hour or so written, closed-book exam and 2 hours of presentation of my research proposal and grilling by my five member research committee. I'll know whether I'll succeed or need to kill myself by Thanksgiving. :P

Brownie points to anyone who has a frickin' clue what the title of my thesis means:

"INSIGHTS INTO THE COKING BEHAVIOR OF SOUTHERN INDIANA PENNSYLVANIAN COALS: BULK COAL PROPERTIES AND INDIVIDUAL MACERAL CHEMISTRIES"

The degree where you learn more and more about less and less and your thesis is the most expensive book no-one will ever read. Welcome to grad school. :)

For the fellow grad student --> http://www.phdcomics.com

'Newton's Three Laws of Graduation' is particularly good:

I'm a senior studying MIS but I'm thinking of putting my degree aside temporarily and running off to a different university next year to study computer graphics....

Re: Hmm
 

I am working towards my MS degree in geology.

Re: Hmm
 

I'm assuming it means the elemental makeup of coal.

Yeah it does, basically. I was being sarcastic. I definitely have some more obscure sounding paper titles. :roll: A lot of the time I have found I have to explain what coal is. I thought people kinda universally knew what coal was and what it was used for, like oil, ya know? Apparently not, although maybe that has something to do with southern Indiana (evil grin).

Bleah... :| ...sounds like you'll need allota coffee and patience to get through that one! :wink:

I guess I feel lucky in that I have to make a fancy multimedia project that more or less utilizes all the skills I learned for my capstone thesis. It'll be an educational feature on horse anatomy and basic first aid. :D

Yeah, your horse project sounds very cool. Unfortunately not a horse owner, so I can't be of much help, but I'd be interested in seeing your masterpiece when your done.

Hey, I'll show you my thesis if you show me yours. :lol:

Sure!

Though... doesn't Kentucky have more coal?

Study Time!
 

Currently, I study biowarfare engineering. My hope is to one day work for the United States Military. I want to create a virus that will blister the lungs of it's victim while eating their flesh like they have gangrene. My goal is to design it in such a way, that it takes the recipient at least 4 days to die. I believe that this will teach our enemies not to take Uncle Sam lightly. Maybe next time we tell them to jump they will ask how high. If I can accomplish this meager goal, I will die happy. :P

I want a nice entry job when I get out.....it can be in hydrology, environmental science, biology, geology, or oceanography.

I am a PhD student in english/american literature, focusing mostly on Faulkner and Joseph Conrad. I'm also preparing a manuscript for my first book of poems, tentatively titled "House of Skin." It is my personal exploration of the human body in the age of technological dominance. Basically just dealing with themes of alienation from the body and my struggle to accept my self and connect with other people despite all the obstacles our technophilic cultures throws in the way. But I am also seriously considering doing a thorough postmodern theoretical reading of the TMNT original comics. I believe there needs to be more critical study of graphic novels, and I do love me some turtles (see my postings in the zodiac sign quesiton for more info on my literary theories regarding the turtle boys)

currently i am working on my assoicate of arts in english and then i ahve plans to go on and get my major in art with emphasis on graphic design:)

but first...i got to pass the classes:)

My major, as I've stated before, is Music. Let me just tell you I so can agree with the other college people on this board: College life ain't as easy as I'd hoped.

i'm used to hang out with people twice my age, and they go to parties in school nights, but they wake up sick/stunned and still go to classes just to sleep or pay little attention, i don't know how they can live like that, i alredady get very stressed when i have a deadline, and they go to parties. In one of my classes there is lady that is 43 years old :o , i could be the youngest guy in there!

Eh..I'm used to seeing people that age on my campus...
