At last!! I did it!! finished college
 

Maybe a lot of you just will see that this is a dumb topic and that's ok, but I wanted to inform JW's community that at last I completed college, after flunking, not having enough money to take the regular 6 topics each semester. I was starting to feel like a fossil

The first pic is me about to receive my BD (in USA is it like this? around the word?) in mechanical and electrical engineering
the second photo is me walking to receive my degree (I wont let my dad take pics again :? ) I'm the blurry guy :|
and the third one is where I was, of course the arrow gives my location :)

Now... I'm taking a couple of weeks, months, whatever, of sabatical, then next year I'll look for jobs in the automotive industry.
I'll change my profile from student to unemployed :D

Congrats man...looks like a nice classy event there... 8)

[EDIT] all the best with finding a job... :)

Congats man! Hope you make it big in the real world!

Thats what you think, until you realize you want more money so you need a masters degree..

Going on about 100000 dollars in college education....

Congratulations! What an awesome achievment, 6 years is a long slog. :P Undoubtly there will be a large corporation who will pick you up, or.. Have you ever thought of starting your own company? How possible is that in the auto industry? :? :D

FELICIDADES!
y del tec... muy bien... es dificil.. yo estaba en prepa en el tec pero pues ya no... (no porq no puedo, otras cosas...) en q tec es? ya q estan por todo mexico?
y q bueno q ya t graduaste, deseguro valio la pena todo el esfuerzo!

well done mate! good luck with what ever job you choose!!!1

WOW dude congrats! and good luck!

good job dude, engineering is not an easy major for sure. just the core classes of physics and calculus is enough to make you want to shoot yourself :lol:

im sure its great to be finished finally, i cant wait till my graduation day comes, im about halfway through my degree. good luck with finding a job. :D

Congratulations Antonio! enjoy your well deserved time off, you may not get a whole lot once you start working :wink:

Congrats! now spend more time on JW!!!

Fucker, I'm still stuck for another year, possibly even a year and a half in undergrad...

J/K dude...congrats on graduating and good luck with the job hunt and having some fun on sabbatical or whatever you wish to term it hehe.

As for the bills, graywolf624 has it right, that's for sure...master's degrees don't come cheap, and the law degree I'm going after won't be either...that'll be about another $100,000 on top of the close to 60k we've spent on undergrad so far.

Congrats man I just found out that I got an A in one class and a B in the other today and I found out the rest tomorrow I still have a little ways to got hough.

yep, one of my plans for next year is to study a MD in automotive engineering, but it is in another city (about 40 minutes of highway) and if I decide that I can't go to the vw assembly plant (located in other city, about 2hours of mountains). Of course I´ll wait to make the best choice.

BTW, thanks a lot to all of you guys.
I hope my valuable contacts help me to obtain a job really quick (I need to pay some really sad things)

@ styla21: Large corps sometimes pick students from my school (a private and expensive college), but some of those companies aren't the thing I'm looking forward. About starting my own company, I don't think so, maybe I'll just try to help my dad at the family bussiness. And about the auto industry, I'm expecting a job in ford's offices in mexico, or in vw plant.

@ oscar: thanks. It's difficult to be at the tec, but you know, a little more effort and you're ok. It's the Campus estado de méxico (just outside the capital), and yes, tec's are everywhere, they have 26 campus arround mexico (you find more tec's than macdonalds)

@jiggastyles09: physics and calculus are the easy classes, just take a look for finite element :wink:

@vansquish: another year for you, but you're a kid compared to me, and you have visited and know more ppl from the auto industry.

for december... just to calm down, and in january I'll start for job hunting

Welcome to the "real world" - howz it feel? Congrats on the graduation.
