I think it’s practical. I haven’t known many engineer types to make a huge deal of graduation per se. It’s just the next step in a bigger procedure.

Talk for yourself. My university friends had a fantastic party.

Yeah, that’s totally me. I honestly don’t see any value in the certificate, but employers do, so whatever.

I went to school for one reason: to get a job. I enjoyed my field of study, but I hated the college process because it took all the fun out of what I enjoyed about my area of study. In fact, I was better at learning relevant things (i.e. things I actually use now) on my own vs in school. But hey, got the job, so task accomplished.

I was a lot more excited about finishing my first project at work than finishing school. Go figure.

Slight difference; being an ex on has the opposite effect on your ability to get a job.

Agreed, Exxon is a horrible company but I hear the pay is good. It would be tough for an ex-con to get a job as well.

I’ve never attended a singe scholarly celebration since my middle schools where I went and realized that it was completely pointless

plus the whole preparation and fanfare is draining for me, id like to actually celebrate by relaxing not stressing over an event

I feel that. Too many people, and most are just sitting there, looking at other people and clapping.
