Post subject: | Help a student plan! |
Hello Everyone, I'm so glad I found this site! First allow me introduce myself. I am 29, married with two little boys, self employed currently as a web designer and pursuing my BS in Geological Sciences at the University of Missouri Columbia. Originally I was a high school drop out who has in my time having gone back to college can say I proudly maintain a 4.0 on top of all the aforementioned responsibilities. I believe my failures in high school have molded me into who I am today as my drive for learning is phenomenal. I live each day with the a paraphrased thought from Thomas Edison, "those who give up, never realize how close to success they are." As previously mentioned, I am pursuing a BS in Geological Sciences at the University of Missouri. I have all of my Gen Eds out of the way and currently am focusing on the core of the curriculum. My ultimate goal is to move on to the University of Science and Technology at Rolla for my Masters in Geophysics. While working in Petroleum sounds rewarding, I also have a fascination with Groundwater, Hydrology, and Karst Features. One problem I am running into is because I am so driven with my pursuit of learning, I believe I am clouding my college path with wrong choices and classes that may not benefit me later on. Another note, I have discovered that since I am taking the Geology courses that are Calculus driven, the required physics and math courses I have to take, I'm only 4 classes away from being able to declare a minor in each. I believe the best way to help you help me is to list my current plans and see what you guys think. Followed as is, I will graduate in 3 years. If I have jumped around too much or confused you, I apologize and please ask for clarification should it be needed.
