I've been a member of hatrack since January 2006, but never introduced myself formally--so this is it. My name is Andy. I got a BS in music from Radford University today. I play piano and I sing. Some of my other interests include dabbling in computer repair/maintenance. I'm an avid chessplayer. I love being outside and doing things outside (because I've spent so much of my time cooped up inside a practice room with nothing but a piano and fluorescent light). I love Orson Scott Card's writing and I love hanging out at this forum.
Everyone has been asking me what I plan on doing next, and I have no idea.
I also like making my posts short and sweet. So here's my hello thread--1 year late.

Cool. I graduated today as well. I got a BA in Historical Studies from the University of Texas at Dallas. So yes, I am officially a college graduate. Now if only someone would offer me a job...

Teach high school history. I've been applying to school districts for the last few months. I'm doing an alternative teacher certification program this summer to get my full certification. If someone offers me a job, then I'm in. If not, then I student teach for a semester and I guess get a part time job for the other semester.

Hatrack's your lawn? Man, what a nice piece of real estate. Well I'll leave before you start telling me about how things were in your day and all. Posts: 1960 | Registered: May 2005

Congrats!! That will be me in four years! or three, if I pass all my AP tests...
Although I will have a BS in Engineering and a BA in Military History, if I can wangle it.
I cant help laughing at thinking when I graduate, it will be with a piece of paper saying I have [a] BS.

RunningBear, we tease my husband about that all the time (he's due to graduate in September) and also my almost-step-brother-in-law (who has a BS in chemistry. That one makes for some REALLY funny jokes. You see, what he does with his degree in chemistry is work at a place where they treat sewage.)

Neat!!! I'm in highschool, and I'm planning on going to college and double majoring in Music Performance - Piano, and English... I want to edit (Fiction, preferably) as my day job, because I don't the idea of playing chamber music for money (It's an ideal, leave it alone. LOL). I'm a soloist <Toss hair back and hold face in a dramatic profile of intense musicality and passion>
So... Now just to figure out how people get into editing, and how on earth I'm going to manage double majoring!
And to those with historical studies majors, congrats, my favorite singer/artist started out as a history teacher in Minnisota.
This doesn't apply to you at all, but I find it interesting.

I've got two weeks to go to graduation - that, and a final, senior thesis, and term paper! Yay to graduating (even though I've already signed myself up for at least 5 more years of work).

I would be graduating in a month with my B.A.S. in Musicology and English lit, but I decided to add an emphasis in composition, (and a semester in England) so I'll be graduating a year from now with my useless triple major. Posts: 9912 | Registered: Nov 2005

I'm a double major, it's no big deal. Just means you get to take less electives, that's all. And you might be in college a bit longer, I'm taking about 20 hours beyond what a single major would take. That's two semesters, more or less depending on how many hours you take in a semester. If you push yourself and have a couple of 18 hour semesters, then it's not bad at all.

I'm a year away from my degree, but sadly they only give BAs in my school, even when you major in Astrophysics.

The first guy to graduate from Weber State after it became a four year school got a BA in Autobody. I played for the graduation so I was there. He was Iranian and his name started with Ab that's why he was the first.

I've never heard the word "Autobody" until today. My imagination has been running wild with what it means.

If you find a BA in Autobody to be "thought provoking", you might want to consider my undergraduate degree is a BM.
