Okay... So I have made a mistake...

[lilgreenseagoat]

So, after looking over things, I have messed up and that's what living is for, right? Making mistakes... learning from them... trying again if possible. People go back to school much older than I and finish and get new degrees. That being said I am gonna try again.

The first step will be to talk to admissions offices and see how this works. Do I

Wasted time! Woot!

I still think you should try fashion... but I'm a bit on the "go for your dreams!" kick right now. So I may not be the best advice to listen to. I was almost seriously considering doing scuba for several classes and becoming a dive master and teaching scuba and never leaving Hawaii... Like I said, I may not be the best advice to listen to. And I should shut off my computer and get ready to board the first of three planes. I love flying!

Also, my parents have recommended that if it's something you're worried about, you don't have to include your GPA on your resume. As employers, they keep saying that they don't expect to see it on one (even though I keep telling them that all recent college grads tend to include it cause that's what they tell us to do). But they both thought it was strange when I said that

omg can we do that? That would be so awesomeeeee!!!

Noess. don't redo a bachelors! You really only need one. If you want to switch professions do a master's in that direction. So many people change what they're doing with their masters degree and it's only two years!

And talk to the professors who liked you. Maybe they can help you out? Grr. I'm no good at this job hunting thing either. But don't despair! It takes months for ppl to find jobs especially in this economy.

Don't get me wrong guys. It's not that I am giving up on the search right now. This would be my plan of action should I not find a job by June... did I not right that? hmm? oh well...

And going for a master's instead sounds great, but can I get in? And recommendations? I think I could get 1 from one of my last professors... maybe. Prof Harris has been nice about personal letters of support. BAH! not going off on this tangent!

Ho Hum... I guess I was also thinking that most of my classes would transfer over and technically I should be able to start as a junior right?

But you know what sounds like an awesome idea? not telling yet... you'll just have to wait :-P

Oh gee, Ashley, way to tempt us with a morsel and then TAKE IT AWAY.

I agree with Bri and Ashley -- go the master's route. However, I have no idea what I'm talking about because while I'd really love to do a master's, my EE classes killed my technical gpa so I'm a bit lost on that front.

You don't have to put your gpa on your resume. Some places will ask for an unofficial transcript but many won't. CV might be different, though.

I don't doubt you're having trouble right now, but I don't think you'll be down for long, either.
