I just registered to take the GRE and now I am having a mini panic attack.
Every time the website asked me what my educational goal was, I clicked "Ph.D." and I thought to myself, "WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE KIDDING, DR. QUITTER?!"
I'm set to get my BS in May '12, and I want to start grad school that fall in August '12, so the ball is officially rolling now.
again!
The Ph.D. CS program at UGA is a five-to-six-year program. That is a really long time for me to commit to something like that. My five-year plan changes every six months. The longest I ever stayed at a job was the Air Force, and that was because quitting that job lands you in prison. Even then, I lived in different states, served in different units, and held various jobs, so it's not like it was four years of the same thing or anything.
I have transcripts from (I think) six colleges and universities. I started pursuing my BS in 1994 and have changed majors twice.
I'm going to put a positive spin on it and say that spending 18 years (OMFG) obtaining a four-year degree actually shows that I really can commit, I do have the endurance required, and after that, 5 or 6 years will be child's play.
Yeah, that's the ticket.
