It's a lifestyle change, my man. I go to work out after work. The only 2 days I don't go to the gym are the days I have school, 6-10PM. Sometimes if I have school on the weekends, then I usually do a mid week split to prevent myself from burning out at the gym.Originally Posted by 703 Hwy
How do you still have time to work out?(kinda srs)
Sure, man. I'll touch on that later tonight too. It's kinda hard to get the train of thought going at work. I didn't have the typical college life though, meaning I didn't dorm. I drove to/from school, but still had good times, ie shooting pool all night, hitting up Denny's before class and cramming 2 hours before a finals and pull off a B in a GE course. College is suppose to be the best time of your life, social wise at least.Originally Posted by rareprecision23
wj4, could you talk a bit more about how to prepare for post-undergrad life during college? what do I have to do to take full advantage of it while I'm here?
Common sense is not so common, my bro. People do a lot of dumb stuff.Originally Posted by superblyTRIFE
Good thread and great advice in here. Regarding the interview and workplace habit stuff though, I feel like a lot of that is common sense. But then again, for some folks sense isn't common. I just call that Survival of the Fittest.

...no way...steph?
It depends on your company culture, man. In this economy, you would have to be God-like to get a 5% increase. My current employer is on a 2% merit increase, which is not much. There's a bonus towards the end of the year as well.Originally Posted by Yeezy St Laurent
Regarding salary negotiations, I wish you wrote this months ago before I accepted my offer without negotiating (a little less than what I would've liked but within industry average).
How much would this affect my raise potential when it's performance review time? Am I screwed?

Hey there,Originally Posted by RawSheed
good stuff wj
most of the stuff you touched on, I learned in my later parts of undergrad. I think when you get older (22+ years old) you just realize any kind of information is good information and you want to use it to your advantage. Which is why I try to school new freshmen and sophomores around my way on what they need to do
do you think putting in work for two masters degree was really less work than putting it in for a Ph.D? I agree with the amount of work it's too much for too little, but in my [potential] line of work a PhD is necessary for the kind of job I want
