HS Scholars Mark II

I'm sure many of us remember the original "HS scholars" thread here: http://forums.ssgn.net/topic/23027-hs-scholars/

 

Well, it's a year and a half later (1 year and 9 months, but who's counting!), and I just thought that I'd probe what everyone is doing and what their plans are after the "Great Recession" took hold and wiped out many job (opportunities).

 

I'm studying accounting 1st year with CO-OP at the University of Ottawa.

[Swift Warrior]

Final semester in BSc in Computer Engineering Nanoscale Systems Design at University of Alberta and failing hard at finding a job that I want to do.

I'm getting a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology in 9 days. After that I am taking the summer off to be awesome, and then will work at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Things pretty much went according to plan. Those 9 days went well and I got my degree. After that I took a multi-month road trip to Alaska, stopping in New York along the way. Lazed around at my mom's house for a while, and started work in the robotics research section of JPL a little over a year ago, where I've been since.

Going to Chinaland to take der jabs.

[Dr Brain]

I have a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (not to be confused with Computer Science). Hopefully I'll have my Master of Science in Electrical Engineering soon. I'm defending my thesis tomorrow.

 

I got my MS and now one of my classmates and I are in business for ourselves.

[JoWie]

Going to start a Master of Science in software architecture at the end of the year.

 

Funny about the recession is that it allowed out company to double in size, while a company next door went bankrupt.

Evil mad scientist stuff, mostly. A bit of minor world domination on the side.

Dr Brain killed Pinky, because Pinky was only slowing Brain down!
