which is better outcome of the 2: 1) getting a minor but risk getting a lower GPA and not being on dean's list, or 2) getting a higher GPA with more ease but not having a minor

1/27/2011 10:52:10 PM

From your posting history.

The easiest path (not minor).

If you want real input; how useful is the minor?

1/27/2011 11:11:16 PM

the issue is i am very close to getting one of several minors though i wasn't trying to. there are like 3 minors i could get by taking additional 2-3 classes so i was thinking of getting one since i am so close, and they would go as free electives anyway, also i happen to have 9 hours in electives to use for next semester. problem is sometimes the few required classes i need either have horrible grade distribution, or is the 400 level. this may possibly hurt my chance of dean's list and/or at least a 3.75 overall GPA as well. the other thing is it might look bad w/o at least a minor on the transcript since i have like 20 hours of free electives and if i just used it on random classes.

1/27/2011 11:38:09 PM

totally get as many minors as you can. it'll help you make 100k

1/28/2011 1:33:12 AM

^^You've made it pretty clear you want to go the path of least resistance.

Adding a minor is still a little bit of work.

You have to, like, fill out some paperwork.





Again, it still depends on what minor you're thinking of getting. Some are better than others.

1/28/2011 1:41:07 AM

The minor is probably just as useless as your major. Might as well do the least work.

Do you really believe that companies will give a fuck that you got dean's list?

@peter; euro
since when was i talking about majors being useless, and companies caring about dean's list. that was'nt my point. "underlined for emphasis."
again you people are thinking too far ahead. remember this is study hall not chit chat. i'm talking about school issues not what happens after, whether i can get a job etc.
getting deans list, etc is so that it gets permanently recorded on transcript as a sign of achievement. and for personal satisfaction btw

now i expect intelligent reponses from people or to not post

1/28/2011 9:51:45 AM

Most people go to college to get an education to further their job prospects... though I thought that went without saying. If you're only worried about short-term for personal satisfaction, how about just do what makes YOU happy.

1/28/2011 10:47:00 AM

If you aren't considering post graduation, then you haven't yet established why you would even consider the minor in the first place.... or dean's list for that matter (does getting on the dean's list get you all moist or something?)

[Edited on January 28, 2011 at 10:53 AM. Reason : and get out of here with that personal satisfaction bs]

1/28/2011 10:51:59 AM

Minors. I know you don't care about how they factor in to future employment but I got two myself - only because I needed 1-2 classes extra per minor. Bumping it out to 3 extra classes probably would have made it not worth it IMO. I guess it depends on the minor and whether they are related to the kind of job you want... and the only reason I can come up with as to motivation to get a minor is to pad a resume. I'm not even sure employers care, so there's that.

I remember there being some additional, non trivial fee they start to tack on if you have x percentage of credit hours beyond what you need to graduate in your major. So let's say your major requires 122 hours and you're sitting on 140 hours because you're going for some minors and you've still got 15 or so hours in your major. They'll start tacking that fee on every semester. I can't remember the cut-offs, but the "you haven't graduated yet , here's some incentive to finish up already" fee will eventually kick in. Something to think about if you need to take 6-9 additional classes to get a couple of minors.

They might not even do that anymore (fee). I'm stone age.

If you're just going for Dean's list on one semester for the achievement (xbox live joke here) why not put the minor classes off until a different semester? Won't finish the minor in time before you graduate? Probably won't miss them then.

There you go. So adding anywhere from 6 to 9 classes, 18 to 27 credits, might affect you there.

1/28/2011 11:08:22 AM

next semester I have 9 hours of electives left to spend, then 3 hours of english, which would make it 122 to graduate, so I could get a minor and there is no worrying about spending more semesters or hours to graduate. the issue is whether its worth to take a hard class or a 400 level class, and risk drop in GPA, which could damage my chances of dean's list and summa cum laude honors. The question is should I risk it to have transcript say Minor Achieved, etc.. Basically which would be more satisfying.
also it's not just dean's list for one semester but it would complete it for all my semesters, which is quite an accomplishment. i want to make my academic record as best as possible which will remain with you your whole life

Maybe you should take a class that is a prereq for another class you have to take, instead of hoping the professor doesn't kick you out.

Also, ITT gz390 brags about his GPA (again)

1/28/2011 1:53:24 PM

Your academic record only remains with you your whole life if you live in the past. I want my tombstone to have my GPA on it.

hey xbltheshadow,
I did some research and I'm guessing part of your Username is your Xbox Live Gamertag huh, xbl= Xbox Live?. It just happens that guy lives in Raleigh, NC as well, and entered NCSU in 2007 (so he would be a senior now too, as your profile indicates). I also know how to look in the directory too, as you did, I sorted by:
Address= Raleigh
Department= Meteorology
Class= Senior
Sex= Male
Do you live on Brent Road? oh yeah it happens to be another address for this website, it can't be a coincidence that someone who lives there would be on this site right? it would only be natural.
So I'm guessing your name is Carl? and maybe you shouldn't post your whole college schedule on the internet next time.

Its only proper that I pay him back, and I didn't "tried to find" information about him, I did lol, and it took less than 2 minutes.
All I did google 'xbltheshadow', the sixth result down has a forum post from a user "xbltheshadow" with a link to his facebook page. The guy is wearing a NC State shirt, and he has the same name as a guy in the directory who is a Senior in Meteorology, which now he has taken off his profile, but I know from his previous posts.

You obviously don't give a fuck about the actual dividends the minor will pay towards your future, as in getting a JOB, therefore you are getting troll posts in here.

Real advice for others who might have the same question but with legitimate reasons: If the minor would be applicable to your job in the future, go for it. If not, then it is unnecessary, and take a good long look at if it will benefit you in any way. That's the advice that I've been given when considering minors. Companies looking to hire specific majors (say, CHE for myself) don't give a fuck if I have a MSE, MAE, or BUS minor. They want that CHE degree. Then they're looking at experience. Then ability to work with the company. Then maybe GPA.

For this fucktard, skip the minor. Extra work means less time for you to prioritize next semester's professors to sign up under and your strategy for being first in line to register for a class.

I did get a lol out of this though...if you taking easy classes gives you more time for getting trolled by the internet, then by all means doom your future for our temporary entertainment

Anyone can find stuff about you on the internet. I'm surprised you thought you were transparent to that fact. When your username is as simple as it is (initials and birth date), it makes the search that much simpler. You're not the first person to link the "real" me to a simple screen name. It happens when I've been using the same screen name for probably 7-8 years now.

Besides, that forum you found the FB link on, I give that away like it's candy, so I don't really try to hide who I am either. Which shocks me that you found someone else's information, and then it took you about another hour and a half to realize it was wrong.

That's fine with me then, its only you whose the problem anyway. I'll keep posting and you'll just keep wasting your time every time you reply.

Quote :

"False, you have no authority to tell anyone what to do. You can try telling me what to do, but I will just ignore it."

Then keep wasting your time replying to each thread I make. A normal person would have either stopped posting already or just stopped reading. But your special, your a persistent one whose really butt hurt.

"There are no more grades for me to get. I've graduated and finished with a job."

Yes you have, you graduated and now your job is to troll this message board.

Quote :

"I will give it to you anyway. I don't care if you think I'm trolling or not."

OK then, I won't worry about your opinion in future threads I make. You can continue to post and embarrass yourself, or you can take my advice and walk away.

Quote :

"Discussing what happens after college is not the point of study hall? I'm pretty sure you're just trolling now. The entire focus of going to college is to help you get a job with the degree you earned (in your case, "get," since you haven't really earned shit). It's laughable if you think a section devoted to your college career is irrelevant to your interests post-college."

Wrong and ignorant, not everyone goes to college so they can use the degree to get a job. Plenty of people get jobs un-related to their degree too. There's the other sections for post-college stuff, this is Study Hall and what you need to worry about is the present.

Quote :

"I think you should take your own advice. With each post you seem to be getting less coherent and less intelligent."

With each post you sound more and more butt hurt. Just take my advice and walk away, save yourself the embarrassment. You've graduated from school apparently, so maybe you should move on to. Stop saying your a Senior in your profile so you can use it as an excuse to troll this board.

Quote :

"Since these threads exist to serve you, why would anyone else care about anyone else's opinion in one of your threads?"

Wrong, they don't exist to only serve me. How would you know? other people might want to know the same things.

Trolls don't get pissed off. This is what I'm talking about. You identified me as a troll, and now you're saying I'm pissed off. Make up your mind. It can't be both.

"Your the one getting all aggressive in all your posts directed at me."

If by aggressive, you mean I'm calling you out for being an idiot, then yes, I am.

Quote :

"If anything, its me who likes pissing you off."

So you're admitting to being a troll?

Quote :

"You should Google the word troll and the first result matches your behavior perfectly."

I know what a troll is. I can tell you I'm not trolling you. Just because you disagree with me, doesn't mean I'm trolling you. If you want people to post opinions that you agree with, then call up your friends and ask them while you coax them into the direction of responses you want to hear. Obviously you have no place on a forum, as you don't seem to understand how they work (much like you don't understand the difference between "your" and "you're" ).

Quote :

"I could ask the same question to you. Are you that immature that you can't restrain your eyes from reading my threads?"

Sure thing. The difference between you and me, is I'm not bitching about your posts and calling you a troll or assuming authority over anyone.

Quote :

" Who knows maybe I was making these threads just to provoke you and waste your time."

It's a Sunday... You're not wasting anyone's time.

Naw. Don't feel like it.

It's just my weekend job. I've been contracted out by Supplanter to try and get you to change your lazy ways and to stop degrading our diplomas.

" I'll keep posting and you'll just keep wasting your time every time you reply."

So far, my time hasn't been wasted.

LOL! You're killing me. Maybe you don't go to college to get a degree to get a job, but most people do. This section is here to help people plan for the present, as well as the future. You can put your head into the ground and deny that all you want, but you're still VERY wrong.

How am I sounding butt hurt? You're the one who is telling me to go away and to stop posting because you don't like what I have to say. And my profile can say whatever I want it to say... I can have it say "God" and I can post here just as I do now... After a year, I would have thought you would have figured this out by now.

And how am I being embarrassed? You realize I'm not the only one who thinks your a gigantic idiot. If ThePeter, xbltheshadow, DalCowboys, Shadowrunner, Netstorm, and ClassicMixup all think you're an idiot, how exactly am I embarrassing myself? Maybe I'm embarrassing myself to you, but you've already been established as an idiot, so your opinion about others is irrelevant.

"other people might want to know the same things."

You really must have a big ego if you think people care about any of your final threads. They've provided more laughs than help to people around here.

How would you know? you are pissed off, or you wouldn't keep replying to all my threads with all this hostility.

Quote :

"If by aggressive, you mean I'm calling you out for being an idiot, then yes, I am."

So basically you're admitting to trolling. Calling me out for being an idiot is different from providing your opinion of what I should do.

Quote :

"So you're admitting to being a troll?"

Now you just admitted your getting pissed off. And no, I'm not saying I'm a troll because your the only one who bothers responding so much after every post I make, its obvious what I'm doing only makes you more butt hurt.

Quote :

"I know what a troll is. I can tell you I'm not trolling you. Just because you disagree with me, doesn't mean I'm trolling you."

Its not that I disagree with you, but the aggressiveness of your posts clearly show that you are trolling.

That's a good one, you should go into comedy.

Quote :

So your Sundays are spent doing this? Patiently waiting for me to make a post, then making a reply as soon as possible so you don't get too butt hurt?

Quote :

"Naw. Don't feel like it."

Is this the best you could come up with?

Quote :

"It's just my weekend job. I've been contracted out by Supplanter to try and get you to change your lazy ways and to stop degrading our diplomas."

I guess he picked the right person for the job then: someone who has nothing better do to on the weekend, and who likes being used. As for "Degrading our diplomas" That's just naive, you should worry about the people who have violated academic integrity, get bad grades without trying, etc. first before worrying about people who want to take easy classes. One person taking easy classes isn't going to have an effect on degrading diplomas. If you think that then you really are a clown. NC State is a state school, don't think so highly of it, there's worse people.

Good to know that's how you like spending your Sundays.

Now your getting emotional. You sure are pissed off now. Explain to me exactly what part of "discuss teachers, classes, homework, tests, etc." makes you think of "the future"?. To me it looks like you keep using "the future" as an excuse to troll, because you know you don't have shit to say otherwise. So if you post something unnecessary like that it only makes you more of a troll.

Quote :

"How am I sounding butt hurt? You're the one who is telling me to go away and to stop posting because you don't like what I have to say."

I don't really have a problem with what you say, a lot of people say the same things as you I can tell, but I have no problem with that. But my questions are serious, so if I want to hear a joke I'll go elsewhere. You'd make a good jester with all those sarcastic comments, you should really consider comedy.

The point is not whether I'm a 'gigantic idiot' you fool, I could care less, or obviously I would have stopped posting long ago. But you bring in others to help you because your running out of comebacks, pathetic. The difference between you and them is your too stubborn for your own good and you keep posting to satisfy your own Ego. So your only embarrassing yourself.

Quote :

I could really say the same about your posts.

I thought I was "pissed off?" If I was pissed off, how could I be trolling? Pick one. You can't pick both. A troll isn't someone who is pissed off. And you're right. I didn't provide an opinion on what you should do. Why? Because as you admitted, your mind was already made up and I was calling you out on it.

Quote :

"Now you just admitted your getting pissed off."

? That doesn't make any sense... If I was pissed off, why would I be laughing?

I thought I was pissed off and butt hurt? Now I'm a troll again?

Yes.

/sarcasm

Quote :

"Is this the best you could come up with?"

Are you dissatisfied that I admitted to stooping down to your level of maturity? In case you haven't noticed, TWW isn't exactly a mature place. If you ventured out of Study Hall once in a while, maybe you wouldn't get so bent out of shape at everyone who calls you out for being a slacker.

I am worried about people who have violated the academic integrity, just as much as I worry about people who slack off and make deans list.

Quote :

"Good to know that's how you like spending your Sundays."

Likewise. It takes at least two people to argue/discuss/ect.

Quote :

"Now your getting emotional. You sure are pissed off now."

You clearly don't know me.

Quote :

"Explain to me exactly what part of "discuss teachers, classes, homework, tests, etc." makes you think of "the future"?."

Did you miss the "etc." part of the description? Teachers, classes, homework, tests all deal with your college career, which most people are going to college in hopes of getting a degree to help them get a job. Most people go to college with their future in mind. That's why college is often referred to as an "investment." If you don't consider college that, then by all means, blow your money away on a piece of paper that has no value to you.

Quote :

"But my questions are serious, so if I want to hear a joke I'll go elsewhere."

Your questions may be serious (which is sad), but nobody takes you seriously. That's why less and less people are helping you, because nobody deems you to be a person who needs help. You proved that in this thread when you said you made this topic already knowing the answer. You admitted you don't need help.

Quote :

"I could care less"

The phrase is "I couldn't care less," as in you are incapable of caring any less than you already do.

Quote :

"But you bring in others to help you because your running out of comebacks, pathetic."

You really think I brought other people in? Yes. I'm conspiring with others to post against you and not be helpful. It couldn't be that we all think you're a lazy idiot...

Quote :

"The difference between you and them is your too stubborn for your own good and you keep posting to satisfy your own Ego."

First you said I was trolling. Then you said I was pissed off. Now you're saying I'm satisfying my own ego...

"I could really say the same about your posts."

I'm glad.

1/30/2011 9:24:21 PM

I feel like gz390's posting style changed drastically from the first post to the middle to the more recent ones... Is someone not paying attention to their alias' typing style or is this dude just that spastic?

1/30/2011 11:50:00 PM

^ I noticed that too. It seemed to instantly happen once I surfaced his true name. I guess he has no reason to keep the alias up because of that, so he changed his typing style. Or he may be worried about future repercussions since we now can avoid his true-self IRL? Probably not though since he still insists on making an ass of himself...

1/31/2011 12:02:06 AM

I haven't read the thread because I'm on a brief homework brake I'm allotting myself, but the answer on the value of a minor vs better gpa depends on what you're going to do with it.

If you're going to try to get into grad school, then a solid GPA I think goes a longer way. If you're applying for a job the minor MIGHT help. And then it really depends what the minor is in.

Truthfully, I don't think many employers look at either minors or GPAs (so long as you don't have a 1.5 GPA or something terrible). But if the minor was in an area valuable to the employer, then it might register. Like if you were fluent in another language like spanish and had a minor to back that up, in addition to having a BS social sciences degree, then it might help. Or if you studied psychology and had a minor in legal studies or what have you.

If you had read the thread, you would know the OP is planning on becoming a garbageman and thus sees the prospect of completing a minor as only a major ego boost.

It depends if I post from computer or phone, i don't have time to capitalize everything. And why do you care so much about someone's writing style?
@xbltheshadow
I don't care if you know my true name. I know your 'true name' and what you look like, so why are you still here? Like you said it's public information so its not that big a deal right? If anyone is making an ass of himself its you. Your apparently still butt hurt after I found your facebook page along with your name. So who's the ass now?
@Supplanter
Thanks that was informative. Too bad I had to weave through all these trolls just to get a post like that
@EuroTitToss
Go back and read the post again, I was using garbageman to make a point obviously.
@DalCowboys
Your delusional. I still never said what my GPA was, I could even have a 3.6 GPA right now, I can't brag about something I don't have. And why are you still talking about GPA? I'm guessing yours was a 2 and you get butt hurt every time someone mentions GPA?
