What is your major and how many hours are you taking? What about a job?

I'm just wondering if I'm in over my head or not.

I'm in mechanical engineering with 17 hours and I work 10 hours during the week, leaving the weekends open for other stuff. I don't think I'm gonna make it :hsdance:

I'm a psychology major with 12 credit hours and i dont have a job yet, but i'm looking into 15-20 hours a week...

Which year ME are you? because i have a couple friend here that are ME's and dont work because the load is crutial.... if you're in your third year good luck because it's the hardest from what i'm told...

When I was in college, my first two years, I had your schedule exactly - 17 hours of class (electrical engineering) and 10 hours of work. It was great. Of course, I should add that my 10 hours of work was MOSTLY supervising computer labs, so I often got my work done at work. Some days I had to actually work, though.

I'm a junior and all I do is watch freshmen in the computer lab. It's cake.

i have a pretty kick ass job, i only worked like 7 hours during the week, 3.5 saturdays...and took 12-13 untis a quarter last year.

of course, it all caught up to me and now I have to take 17 units, plus a 15 units [email protected] capitol....and hopefully find some time to earn some $$$ and apply for law school.

Oh hey...the LSAT's are around the corner...

MechE here. I am taking 14 credit hours. It's my Senior year(1st of many) and I finally caved and took a job this year. I work ~10 hours a week watching a computer lab.... I get more HW done than when I didn't work :D

I don't worry much about money. I don't make much, I never spend much... Only things I buy are Ramen, tires, and AutoX entries.

Pretty good amount of mechanical engineering I see. I was thinking of starting an ME thread to see what you guys plan on doing as an ME and how you've managed to get as far as you have. As for me I'm taking 12units with 24 hr/week of work.

I smiled when i saw this...

uhh perhaps i'll show you some links aswell..


www.cacnews.org
www.firearmsid.com/new_index.htm
http://www.afte.org/cgi-bin/iB3Public/ikonboard.cgi

In lamens terms, it is the scientfic process of allocating answers for cause of death, using (qoute the buzz word) Forensics.

If you notice a pattern in the last two links, you will notice they are Fire arm's ID. Which just happends to be my Major, in either case thier is no need to look up the term. But i do believe the term refers to Litigating, which is an underrated/overseen attribute of what will be my profession. A Crimnalist, look that word up.. Or ask me questions, whatever..

Edit; saw what the first link was, it was pretty much a hack.. This one is better..
