Finally reaching a Milestone - Lateral-g Forums

Well, the time has finally come. After 7 long years I will finally graduate on May 12 with my BS in Physics and a minor in Math. Now comes the long enduring process of finding a job. It seems as though it is going to be harder to find someone willing to hire a Physics major than I was originally led to believe. Anyway, just wanted to share with the group!

Congrats man, I have been going since August 2000 and am gettin ready to miss my 6th semester because I am getting deployed again. I will probably graduate may 2008 hopefully. I figure I may just go ahead and get my masters degree.

Congrats !!!!

That's a major life hurdle and you'll find it was totally worth the effort. Good luck in the job search - take your time and find something that lights your passion. Many people spend a life time hating to go to work - don't be one of those. Having a job that you love makes having to work soooo much better. All our best !

Well got a nice little shot to team morale. Seems that a 4 year degree is a good thing....if and only iff you have a 3.0 GPA. Looks as though I have successfully shot off both of my feet through my college endeavors. I finally found a job in my area (where I would prefer to stay) that was accepting physics majors and no experience...but they want a 3.0 GPA. Amazing how you can bust your tail for 7 years working full time and acquiring a degree and a simple number, which really says nothing about the person and character or anything like that rules you out of so much as an interview. back to the old drawing bored
