Why? Chances are they have their pick of people, and some of them are better than you. You can learn a lot in an internship, and the connections you make are extremely important. Generally, you should be thankful for the opportunity and take good advantage of it.Espi said:
I quit UT after junior year because I was too busy with money-making schemes to go to class. I was skipping class every morning to walk to the Hillsborough County courthouse and research mortgage foreclosures. I ended up taking a job as a stock broker for a boiler room firm that did not care if I had a degree. Later, I went back to school and finished the BA, then I ended up getting a job because I had a series 7 stock broker's license, not because I had a degree. Every job I got after that was due to experience and licenses. Eventually I went to law school.Espi said:Cool...did you get a job?
Tell her a little about yourself, but not too much. Maintain some mystery. Give her something to think about and wonder about when she's at home.

I remember the internship I had at a bank my Junior year of high school. It allowed me to go to school for only half of the day (I worked afternoons), I got business credit for it plus it paid $100 a week. Pretty good for a 16 year old.Suicide said:
It doesn't matter how good-looking you are, how romantic you are, how funny you are... or anything else. If she doesn't have something INVESTED in you and the relationship, preferably quite a LOT invested, she'll dump you, without even the slightest hesitation, as soon as someone a little more "interesting" comes along.

Very true, I'll add another point. What sense does it make to wait until you graduate to look for a job? Do people think that they plus 10 or 20 other people are the only ones graduating and looking for a job at that time?Suicide said:
If you can prove that your talent is marketable (makes the company money), you could get hired on as long as you are of legal working age (especially if they can pay you at a fraction of the rate of a graduate). As I posted earlier, I started working in a bank before I started university.Pimp101 said:
The professors are usually famous/popular and spend their time writing books and doing research instead of teaching the class. If you go to Ivy League you’ll usually end up with teaching assistants. The only good things about going to a famous Ivy League school are connections and landing your first job... Most employers don't really give a sh't about where your degree is from. They care more about your skills, talents and what you have to offer. That said college degree is better than a high school diploma... undergrad on average makes around 40-50 k a year, while a masters will get you 70-80 k! IMO opinion going to college is worth it... if you plan on making more than 30 k, which is the average high school diploma will get you.Espi said:
I'm curious about what grad students make 200/hr and what phd's make 350.wutangfinancial said:
I'm not saying that they don't but IME as an engineering phd student I see a new class of starry eyed kids come in every year thinking that they are going to be making bank when they get out. I also see those getting out every year and coming to the realization that they are going to do alright but given the loss of income that they suffered from going to grad school they are at about the same lifetime earning as an engineer with a bs.wutangfinancial said:
