I took my last final yesterday for the year...still at least 2 years to go..ahh seems like it'll never end. And I still have more Physics and Calculus classes to take....what fun. Taking those classes makes me wish I had gone into business instead of engineering...

First, I'll add to the congrats! I agree with Karl too. I'm working on my PhD now, and I'm pretty proud to say that at 25, I've been in school for about 80% of my life. When graduating with my BS, all of my friends were VERY ready to get out and get jobs. I always knew that I'd be in school for a long time, so I still don't have the urge to get a job. If you're fortunate enough to be able to pursue a higher degree, it will pay off. Best of luck to you!

Congradulations! It's a great feeling isn't it? You'll not believe me when I say you'll miss it in a year though. I finished last year and am thinking I'll start up grad school in '05 sometime. It's nice being out in the real world, but even nicer to be in school. Funny how even though I graduated last year, I still get to go through all the packing up and crazyness of a new grad again for my girlfriend. Enjoy your cross country trip!

Congrats. I wish I was done, only 2 more years, one thesis and a bunch more student loans. But I do have one thing down, my coop employer wants to hire me on graduation. Nissan Tech Center at the proving grounds, only 10 miles away from the VW-Audi-Porsche proving grounds.

Whenever I read something about grad school I think of the Simpsons quote "Join us.... it's bliiisss...." Grad school is rough in engineering, I'll definitely say that.

Thanks for all of the congrads guys! I definitely plan to pursue a graduate degree, but I'm not sure what I want to do it in...MBA seems logical, but maybe I'll find something that interests me more after working for a year. So...it took me 7 years to graduate (well...I didn't go to school for two years and got a fair amount of professional work experience), so I would like to not do the school thing for a year as I have been doing it from ages 4-25 with two 6 month and one year long break in between. Congrads to others who are graduating, and to those who are just starting college...don't forget to have fun. Peace.
