I never thought of that when I made it up. I just thought it was straight forward, although a bit unimaginative...

You underestimated our crazy minds. lol

Little did you know how intriguing it really is!

It could be worse. People are thinking your Pharaoh or a god. I had a no, and everybody thought I got the name from a skunk gland

A bachelor's degree for lead stock boy.... if only we had such rigorous standards for presidential candidates, though in the opposite way - no one can run for president if they haven't worked & lived on minimum wage.

Apologies - I'll briefly stop being glib. This makes me very sad. There was a plan here to have 50% of kids leave full time education with a university degree, which was sold as a combination of upskilling the work force and helping social mobility. Except it didn't, of course. Nobody bothered to expand the number of available graduate jobs, all those who had previously been able to go to the best schools and get the best degrees continued to do so, and the rest were left with qualifications which served no purpose. Such a waste.

The system is broken.

That's very true... we're so fixated on "liberal arts" education in the U.S. I know in other countries, it's not the same... I want to say maybe in the UK and maybe Australia & New Zealand, most bachelor's degrees are only 3 years, with a fourth year only if you're planning to go to graduate school. Someone from any of those places please correct me if I'm wrong!

I got my B.S in 2 yrs 6 months

Indeed.

I think you got your BS some 30-40 something years ago (no I can't remember how old you are, so sue me!)

That it is, but to become Dr.Natalie99, I gotta play the game

Yup... and let's not start on k-12 education!

How about we talk about playing teacher instead or if anyone slept with a professor while in school?

I tried, all mine are straight

 

[cheekygirl75]

Oh, yeah! I knew one woman, I think she was a year ahead of me, who had a long-term affair with a professor

*scoffs at you with my monocle*

 

[cheekygirl75]

I tried, all mine are straight

And all mine were old and not very attractive (to me)

 

[gga]

fyi, when I say your name in my head, it comes out "amananook"

How did you get an extra "na"?

I always went with "amanook"

 

[MsNatalie99]

I wasn't attracted to any of mine either, but that potential A was looking pretty sexy.

^^^^ jealous because she wanted the one on one tutoring
