What college or university did you attend?

Conissah · 06-23-2020, 01:58 PM

University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Paid out of pocket, no help from FAFSA or any grants. UNCC is incredibly affordable, that was my main reason for going. BS in Comp Sci with a Minor in Math, 3.5 years boiiiiii.

You at SRNL?

Since this thread was bumped.

Dropped out in the 7th grade. Community College ->Universidad de Nuevo Mexico for 2 undergrads (Radiological Science/Management and Biology/Chemistry) and graduate in Nuclear Engineering.

So is this the effect of things opening up? - somebody is back to work and, having found the end of the internet, is now resorting to dredging up the 'where are they now' file of old posts?

That's actually incredible. Form 7th grade drop out to graduate in nuclear engineering? Congratulations to you good sir.

Thank you sir. I liked learning things the hard way when I was a kid I guess.

A spambot (from Louisiana and driving an Opel) woke the old thread up yesterday. The spam has since been removed by the moderators.....

No.....I'm at a privately owned chemical plant in SC that specializes in nasty stuff. Run Silent and I discussed it awhile back. Combined our work interests could take out the southeast part of the country if something went wrong.

We are on every state agency monitoring list....and also monitored by the Department of Homeland Security.

Kudos to you for your perseverance!

Yup - you know you work somewhere cool when I have to move all of the cyanide poisoning kits out of the way in the fridge to get to my lunch.

I think I remember seeing that discussion a while ago. Steady hands.

Cool stuff being said, what happened to the 360?

I'm graduating in December with a degree in binge drinking and a minor in having fun

Next thread will ask what your mother's maiden name is, the street you grew up on, your high school mascot, favorite singer, where you met your spouse, etc...

BMWCCA1 · 06-23-2020, 07:58 PM

I started at a top-20 of all universities and graduated from a top-5 public university.

I have a prestigious degree in a discipline I never worked in nearly 45-years later!

Jordan's World · 06-23-2020, 08:25 PM

University of Central Florida: I'll graduate this fall with a B.S in Biochemistry and a B.S in Economics. Took me 5 years including a year of dual enrollment.

Will be starting an M.D./M.B.A program at UF fall of 2021.

Go Knights! And Go Gators!

Sold the 360 - if you recall from the original post - it was really just a bucket list item and a test to see if I could own one and spend very little money. I succeeded.

Refresh my memory - weren't you getting an engineering degree? What type again? We are looking to hire several engineers this fall.

Run Silent · 06-24-2020, 08:02 AM

Oh - can't recall if I entered my comment for the thread. I hold a bachelors degree in accounting, a Master of Accounting (M.Acc) and an MBA. I am also a CPA.

Previous life was military followed by working for a government agency overseas. Now am a VP for a large public company.

Clarkson University (UPSTATE NY)

If your password uses any of these things, you need to rethink your life.

I feel like everyone on here is either an engineer or in healthcare.
