Yeah, I do realize that some (most?) of the stuff they teach us in classes is crap. But I do enjoy academic life.

I enjoy learning new things, and being a student allows me to be a slacker, procrastinator and a lazy bum without impacting my ability to be successful at what I do :)

And it would be pretty sweet to attach a PHD to my name :)

Thanks for the advice :)

Check out Stevens if they’ve got a PhD program; Otherwise, get out there and start putting all of that knowledge and problem solving abilities you’ve been harnessing to use on the job. I’ve been an MSU comp sci alumn now for less than a year, and I feel that i’ve learned more since I graduated than I learned in all of my comp sci classes combined. Good luck to you in whatever endevors you pursue!
