Congratulations to me
Glaine:
Only down side there is that it doesn't add anything noteworthy to your resume, but money is money.
Glaine:
Well that makes sense, I didn't know about any of that.
Seriously, my fault for assuming your world works like mine ;D . Excuse my misinformed self.

Everyone knows all you had to do was take 4 more classes, and a lot of quality schools won't even allow it because they feel like it cheapens their undergraduate degrees.
Graduate degree is going to get a lot more respect. Most companies won't pay for law degrees or MBAs, as both tend to be career changers.
Many companies that will pay for an MBA are also going to require that you work for them a year or two prior to beginning the degree, then work for them at least -3- years after -completion- of the degree or you default on what they've paid for tuition.
I personally decided to stop working full time, and switch to 3/4 time and become a full time MBA student. Piled up some student loans, but I got the degree done in 2 calender years and I'm free to leave the city after Saturday. :D

Sorry that double majors don't work in your field, but in the Engineering field they are VERY valuable. I wish now I would have taken some Civil engineering classes as electives while in school. It would make it much easier to go back and get another degree.
Now I will agree that minors are worthless.

Graduated from UNT yesterday. No more tests or homework, but also just lost a ton of college friends and everyone is going to be expecting things from me now. The feelings balance out so I can't really feel one way or the other about this yet.
Glaine:
Well seeing as something like 14 out of 25 people in class with me failed Java programming (myself not included) I can say I did a lot of homework. I practically lived in the labs during visual basic and asp.net programing. And last I checked, UNT is still a very high ranked tech school in Texas.
But thanks for hating, makes it all seem worth it. Super.
