I said:
I think people who spend lots of money and effort on school prestige are idiots.
I have a pretty good idea what I think. Kthx again. I'm out of this thread.

high school gpa: 93% (on a 100 scale... not sure what that translates to on a 4.0 scale; my high school just graded everything out of 100, and our end gpa was the average)

SAT: 1280 (something stupid like 540 math, 740 verbal... don't remember the exact numbers, but I remember that it was rediculously skewed)

college: Penn State
major: english / sociology, dual-major
college gpa: 3.7

profession: immediately after college, I got a job in marketing. that lasted about 6 months. just got frustrated with the corporate world. then took a job in IT working a noc, which is what I'm still doing.

I'm hoping to start grad school in the next year or two. I want to pick up an MS in library science, get a job at a college library so I can take courses for free, and pick up a degree in chemistry. I wouldn't actually do anything with a chem degree, but I'd like to prove that I can do it ;)


edit: for the curious... graduated high school in 1999 and college in 2003
