      Christina Corso I had cancer too back in 2005 and lost 8 years of school probably more. I went back in 2013 to get a BA and I about to finish in Summer. I am planning on moving to a Ph.D :)

    The sad thing is that grad school students are getting the same jobs that the previous generation got with Bachelor's but have to put up with 2 years and 80 hours a week of studying and destroying their relationships, and mental, physical health in the process

    Undergrad is something people pursue for a degree but also a range of life experiences. Graduate school is purely a career move, meant to help someone move up in a company. Many undergrad students only have responsibilities to their coursework, and maybe a team and maybe a part time work study job. Graduate students often have full time jobs or GA positions, and it’s common for them to have responsibilities to other human beings (ie their children). It’s not to “re-live” college. Grad and undergrad are totally different beings; they just happen to take place I’m gone same or similar facilities.

  • @thomasphenix7827
    @thomasphenix7827 5 років тому +3

    I agree. But I wanted to add that there is a great deal of research involved in research/ theory- based masters. What I mean is the formation of hypothesis, proving, and quantifying results. For such programs, a background in statistics is helpful.

    I am an undergrad student, and I was making power points and essays with groups projects. Some of my classes where discussion base, and others where lecture base, and some mix. However, some classes had experience discussions, but not much. Further, there are some classes that was mainly essays, and others did not have much essays, and a few, none at all. Very interesting how different it is, based on class to class. Personally I prefer discussion and group work, because as a group, we can learn so much from each other.

    • @SaraMarie

    • @Christian-lm6qh
      @Christian-lm6qh 4 роки тому

      At the college level, weather or not English is your second language, you need to have the fundamentals of the language down. Basic subject verb agreement and noun adjective agreement is essential. It's the same in Spanish. Some classes were fun is correct. Some classes was fun is not correct. People will think you are an idiot without knowing this, because children learn this in school at 8 years old.

    After watching the TV show NBC's "Community"
    I have this fantasy about going to college and writing TV shows that take place around college or there students with different genres of stories. Do you think there should be more TV shows that take place in college/grad school because there's so many teen shows?
    I have ideas for college shows. Comedies like "Victorious" or "Friends", action/fighting, mystery-drama, drama's like "the O.C.". , suspense maybe like "Riverdale" or "Mr.Robot", sci-fi like "Roswell" or "Smallville" , and even rom-com stories

    In the real world (at least my experience) i didnt work in many groups. Sure there was lot of collaborating within my department but I was responsible for my work. Sounds like these group projects can have one or two people carrying the loads. Coming back to edit I want to add I have been considering going back for masters but I am older with more responsibilities. Not sure if it is worth it now.

Luckily my company is paying for a nice portion of my tuition so it's not too much out of my pocket. But even so I hope that I will get a nice promotion when I graduate which hopefully makes up for the student loans. I actually did a day in the life video that is going up tomorrow and I talk a little about how I do it so definitely look out for that!
