Emma Gardner not going to college to train at CompTrain

[bynet]

@memrin Bio medical engineering, then did actuarial science while studying for the professional exams. Worked at the same time, I could have swapped the working for working out. Fraser was studying engineering, school isn't a death sentence unless you're at MIT or something wild like that.

@bynet Idk. Working out during bachelors was fine. But now I’m that I’m getting my masters (computer and security) I have no energy left after course work, thesis work, and then work work most days. My free time now is left for cooking, cleaning, and catching up on much needed sleep.

My gym schedule has gone from 4x a week to maybe 1x a week.

Maybe I’m just a pussy but it sucks. I can’t wait till it’s over so I can get back to it.

@memrin nah grad schools is hard AF. total survival mode.

@dawn16 Depends on your supervisor too. Idk my friends seem to be handling it ok. Our work loads are completely different even though we’re taking same number of credits

@memrin yeah I was a GA and you're easily working 40+ hours a week for that (altho only getting paid for 20), plus about 20-40 hours of coursework, and then for me, working a PT job to cover the expenses that my stipend didn't cover. I was lucky to work out twice a week. It's temporary, tho! Worth it in the end!
