How much did you have to write?

2 for HF and 13 for THW. THW pays by page views so that's a crabshoot. Some stuff does better than others and some stuff takes 15 mins to pound out and others 1-2 hours.

I only went to class about 50% of the time while in college. I made sure to take classes that didn't count attendance and tests were the vast majority of the grade. Ended with a 3.57 GPA.

I also got an accounting degree, so it is really simple and easy stuff... 3.57 isn't impressive.

That's impressive. I was toeing the line pretty close the whole way.

That is a dangerous game... send out the bots!

It's actually by Google sessions I'm not sure if there's a difference between page views and sessions but I'm too honest to cheat anyways. Plus, writing is for ***** and giggles I have no intention of making a career change.

Damn...

How do I get to be a writer for THW? I have a Mass Communications (Sports Journalism) degree, would love to make a little extra money, see if I could turn that into a career.

If you guys are still going to every lecture and stuff then you haven't figured out how to beat college yet.

While this is partially true, it's also on a degree by degree basis. In a LOT of my classes as a Biomedical Engineer, not attending was tantamount to a death sentence.

Granted I did have the classes which were pointless to attend too because the Professor put all notes online and make the exams based on the notes which we could print out for the exams.

I have 2 night classes. It is the worst.

Loved night classes. Go to class 7-9, hit the bar at 9:15.

Yeah that's true. My degree was cake.

Are you in biotech? I work in biotech manufacturing.

I got a business degree and a marketing MBA. Accounting was the gatekeeper class in that program. Certainly not easy!

I almost always went to class but outside of that I didn't let school dictate my life, I never spent a ton of time studying or writing papers. I only got one C my entire college career and that was a 2 credit hour class over the summer on violent storms. My family still makes fun of me for that. I loved loading my schedule up 5 classes in a row so I only had to go on campus 2 days a week. MBA was all night school anyway, I only did one of those at a time and some online.

Anybody with the amount of patience and inability to get bored required to get an accounting degree is a hero in my book.

This year I've gone to around 5% of the classes in my Master's studies.

Classes are for wimps, true men stay at home, drink vodka, watch hockey and football (soccer) and read to exams/write essays a few hours before the deadline.
They also get an average grade of 69/100 and write a bachelor thesis worthy of a solid 2/5.
I have no idea how I've gotten this far

BTW, Rome was great. It was really surprising though that basically no-one spoke English there. I would've been screwed had I been alone.

Too many old people in night classes. If you've read any of my Avs posts this year, you'll know that I hate old people.

Nooo don't start with 35 is actually old old.

I'm willing to bet I'm the second oldest person that posts in this thread at least semi regularly.

OK, but do you hate us because we're old?

Of course not... I only hate people being on my lawn.

I hate almost every old person other than Alex Tanguay.
