I am done!
December 15, 2017 at 1:09 am
(This post was last modified: December 15, 2017 at 1:22 am by SteelCurtain.)
So, as of tomorrow, officially, I have completed my arduous journey and graduated with my second degree. I have worked 60 hour work weeks combined with 12 credit hours, I have stressed to no end when I quit my job to focus solely on schooling, and I have worked my ass off to maintain a perfect GPA.
I did it. I fucking did it. I applied myself fully, I worked when I thought I couldn't work any more, and I did it.
And it paid off. Before I even had the degree in hand, I had three job offers. I interviewed with three companies.
I start work on January 2nd as a Software Developer for a medium sized tech company here in Nashville.

I am a boss. Ego is big right now. 👀

I'm happy for you. I'd say that you certainly belong to a small group of individuals who have the unique/rare talent and work ethic to pull off what you did. I certainly could not do what you have accomplished. My hats off to you, sir. Live long and prosper.

Well done boss.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Wait until you have to maintain legacy code. 
Here are some foul words:
Fortran77
Cobol
Lisp
Best of luck with your professional life, my friend!
You've earned it!

I am so proud of you! And I'm definitely going to show this accomplishment to my children as proof that if you work hard in college, the rewards are totally worth it.
