And some companies may hire you with a Bachelor's degree, then while you're working for them, send you back to get a Master's degree.

Quite frankly a lot of real companies would rather see that you were the captain of a Curling club than see a Masters on your resume.

what if you were the captain of a Curling club AND have a Masters under your belt?

[wtd]

What if you have a Masters in Curling sociology?

[Andy]

then you shouldnt be looking for a tech job

I'm curious as to how curling because the topic... but seeing as it is actually more wide spread in tech people then you'd think perhaps it's not surprising.

I should really look into taking curling up again... I could use some team sports on my resume.

Real geeks play polo on segways.

[md]

I actually can buy a segway... they sell them in a store just by my house. They cost a rediculous amount though, more then a decent motorcycle.

Besides; I think it's well established I'm not a geek... what with spending lots of time in the sun and having a girlfriend and all

[Clayton]

that doesnt necessarily mean u arent a geek you could have a geeky girlfriend oh and a geek doesnt necessarily not get a lot of sun either

[md]

Ok... so she is geeky too... and I suppose geeks can get sun. But what about sports? Do geekss play sports?

I'm not sure I'd classify polo as a sport. Polo on segways, definitely not. In fact, if a sport involves the use of machines/computers (by the "athlete") then probably not. So all you CAL pros can put your hands down, you're not that cool.

Minsc plays sports. We don't know if he's any good though. And it's not like we can verify they're real sports and not "today in my weekly D&D session I was roleplaying the hundred meter dash with my boots of the cheetah." Tsk.

Wheelchair basketball isn't a sport then eh? I think these "athletes" would have something to say about that. Move back to Germany, fascist.

Given that the most popular "sport" in America is NASCAR racing (and by a good margin), the machine / computer definition might need reworking.

Back to Germany? Sorry if I didn't explain myself clearly. Wheelchair basketball involves physical activity, and grats to those you participate in that sport. Things I don't count as physical activity include the likes of standing on a multi-thousand dollar vehicle occassionally swinging at a ball, or sitting in a chair using "uber micro".

I still don't get Nascar as a sport. But then, I don't really get spending a day to watch it.

Well, my marks through high school has been almost the same. It is all high 80s except for this year, just got above 90 to get president scholarship. I don't think I have worked any harder in grade 12 than grade 9 actually, every year it is almost like the same to me. I can say my average falls in a range of 88+- 2%.
