I hate going back to classes after co-op. This is my second time at it (first was Fall Quarter 20041, after Summer 20034 co-op). Unfortunately, it isn’t getting any easier. Somehow everything seems so trivial after working in the industry. Homework seems irrelevant.
My mom has always warned me to stop wishing my life away. Back in high school I wish to go to college, and here I am again- at that same crossroads in my life. I’m done with college. I’ve gotten a taste of the real world and it tastes so sweet.
But getting back to the subject of co-operative educations, we are truly lucky at RIT to have that experience. I can’t imagine graduating college and having no real job experience except for that dinky summer job that paid me a measly $7 an hour. Oh come on, we’ve all had them.
I’ll suck it up this quarter. And for four more after this. But after that, cap and gown (and California) here I come.
