Ahh, You were thinking of an associate's degree, which you can get in 2 years. Its kind of what you get if you go to a community college. That should only take you 2 years.Originally posted by: God#2
I think its usually (even here in the U.S.)
2 yrs. - Bachelors Degree
"Pudding can't fill the emptiness inside me! But it'll help."
^Lol! In my experience in the US it is more like:
4-5 years - Bachelors
2-4 years - Masters
5+ years - Ph.D. I am in my 5th year and am hatin' it!
8-9 years - Med if you count residency.

God#2...I don't know what the hell you're talking about...
Bachelors is 4 or 5 years. You don't even compare it with Masters or Ph.D because those are post-grad degrees.
Master is usually 3 or 4 years.
Ph.D is however long it takes. My dad got his Ph.D in like 7 years or so from research done at many schools.
Wait, wait, my bad. I was thinking you get your bachelors at age 22, masters at 24.
My bad, I was thinking 20 + 2 = 22, so 2 years equals bachelors degree[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
You guys are right, around 4 years for a bachelors, and I know alot of people who got their masters 2 yrs. after. Ph.D is different throughout but I hear its Uber Stressful and alot of work.
So wait a second... how old are you guys when you graduate from your bachelors? IN the UK you are usually either 21 or 22.
I'm on my seventh of an eight year plan. I started in fall of 1999, and my current projected graduation is May of 2007. Don't worry too much about being nontraditional ... companies hiring you don't usually care how long it took you to get your degree, as long as you got there.
Oh, and today I realized that apple's success as a company is largely predicated on their removal of choice from their product lines. This somewhat corresponds with Barry Schwartz's "The Paradox of Choice" -- the principle that too many choices about unimportant things swamp our decision making ability and unnecessarily stress us in our endless pursuit of the best things.
Oh yeah, on degrees, I've known people who've made BS/BA degrees in as few as 3 years. A full time grad student in a master's program will typically complete the program in 2 years, but many master's students also work, and pursue their MS/MA in their spare time, via night classes or continuing education programs. That can draw it out a bit ... my mom took almost 7 years from the time she committed to pursuing her MS in education until she completed the coursework ... and she _still_ hasn't completed her master's thesis to actually get the degree (she's been putting off writing the final draft for like a year now).
PhD programs are varied. The PhD program in my university's CS department basically takes people straight from undergrad, and from grad school as well -- so you can enter the program the semester after you get your BS, pursuing your PhD. Most people complete the program, including the thesis, in roughly 4 years. But our CS department doesn't have a master's program (which is generally a continuation of undergrad work at a slightly higher level). Rather, you get admitted as a PhD student, and if you complete the coursework but find yourself incapable of mustering a thesis of any value to the real world, you can exit the program with what's called a "Terminal Master's". Basically it's the disgraceful way of exiting the PhD program ... you just sort of say "I can't take it anymore, academia isn't for me", don't write the thesis, get a master's degree, and go pursue your fortune in industry instead.
In the school of management, you generally have to have a master's (either a MS in management, or an MBA, or a MS in economics or math) to enter the PhD program. PhD students seem to last about 3 years, and then get their degrees.
The takeaway is that you can't really characterize how much work or time it takes in a specific program, there's a LOT of leeway in the different paths you can take to get to whereever you're going.
today i learned that 1 GHz in a centrino laptop is = to 1.5 GHz in a pentium 4....very valuable for my laptop purcahsing.
LaZie made this...a long time ago.

I don't recall there ever existing a 1 GHz Pentium M. Generally a Pentium M will be equivalent to a Pentium 4 that's about double the clock speed. The 1.73 GHz Pentium M can match pretty much any Pentium 4 on the market.Originally posted by: Chaoskiddo

yeah, you should check out the benchmarks and stats for the latest intel desktop showing, "conroe". They're pretty exciting.
And code name "Merom" for the mobile platform is looking kinda slick too. It's the successor to the brand-new "core duo" stuff.
Check out anandtech's IDF coverage for more. http://anandtech.com/tradeshows/showdoc.aspx?i=2715
lol i just ordered my core duo yesterday.

Dude you get a Dell? They have a pretty good sale on some Core Duo laptop right now.
Today I learned that
If you ask someone to REP you because they like what you have posted then it falls under the category of "soliciting rep."
http://forums.gotwoot.net/showthread...=11243&page=24
How about you follow your own guidelines and Dont take it too seriously.Some guidelines:
Try to give out more positive reputation hits than negative ones.
No soliciting rep hits.
Don't take it too seriously.
Leave comments with your rep hits.

today I learn ^^^ man have panties all twisted up.
Take two of these muchachos and call us in the morning. Yeah, call us, we'll be drunk.
see, the thing is, if we let you spam up the forums with constant rep-begging, it'll go the exact opposite direction from where we want it to go.
The point of the system is to encourage and reward good posting. Inherently, asking for rep is bad. It degrades the content of your post ... it's like slapping a big flash-animation banner ad in the middle of what could otherwise be good material.
If you're asking for rep, you're taking it too seriously!
Well, uh.......Today I learned that there was a thread full of Naruto Hentai, and I was overjoyed, about 50% of the hentai was thanks to Jadugar, and I think he deserved some rep. I learned this was solicting rep....? o.0 Wha....
But ya...Whatever....Rulez are rulez....
Someone just jumped the gun. I would never go as low as to ask/beg someone to rep me.
I was just pointing him in the right direction. This system is fairly new.
I never asked previously when we were on Fuse talk for someome to do my user rating and that was b/w 7-8 with more than 30 votes.
People would rep me if they like what I post not because I ask them.
Anyway. blah blah blah I will follow the rules. OK UNDERSTOOD.
Well, anywayz, Today I learnt that my younger brothers rabbit doesn't like bright flashlights shined in its eyes and will continously run around its cage while hitting itself countless times until the light dissappears.

That's the idea, see? Now you're getting it! You have learned something from all of thisOriginally Posted by Jadugar

Oh yeah, and to get back on topic, I've learned that ... umm ... there's a job posting for a fulltime sysadmin that almost exactly matches my qualifications and is like 2 miles away, but since I don't have a car, that 2 miles is a bit too far.
I never really expected to feel trapped by my lack of transportation... but here I am, and that's what I've got.
Today I learned no ones posted in this thread for a month.
