I'm glad I'm not taking all those chemistry, genetics, microbiology, etc. tests any more. Now I'm a surveyor instead of a biologist. Kinda makes all that time and money seem like a waste.

I wouldn't mind going back for grad school. Oncology interests me now, but I've already forgotten 80% of what I learned the first time.

Actually my second longest final was 5 days ago.6 and a half hours Molecular Bio.

I was trying real hard to beat the one guy that already had a PhD in Biology.I dont know if I beat him, that's why I tried to go for extra credit and answered a couple of questions w/ pages of stuff w/o BSing anything, just stuff I thought was relevant.

I can't wait to see the score, it would be soo cool:cool:, if as a Chemist, I could have outscored the PhD Biology in a Molecular biology final.

Well done Fred.

Hey all you NICO-nauts: How does it feel to know that your Administrators are BOTH in grad school AND holding down full-time jobs?

We're bulletproof, me and Mr. Palmer. :D

I'm 2 classes away from my Master's in Criminal Justice, with a specialized dual program focus on Research Applications and Program Administration.

It ain't Chemistry, but it's a Masters! :D

yikes. I gotta take chem next year for my post-bac program (pre med)... I'm sure your class is much more advanced, but most of that stuff scares me: organic chem, bio, calc, etc, etc, etc..... *shudder*

at least after that I'll be able to start doing something that I actually like. In theory.

I'm an admin and I got into grad school, went one semester, and dropped out. Does that count? I'd go back if somebody paid for it.
