college did nothing for me, in fact i don't even remember it, although it's prolly due to not ever going to college, but ya know what, it's still not helpful.

What does "cipherence" mean, cipherence?

[supersloth]

mentally deficient.

[Nova Dragoon]

I believe another etymology derives it to mean, " small endowment"

[supersloth]

in espanol it literally translates to 'a twink in search of a bear'

[cipherence]

I'm gonna go with the small endowment, wait no.... small endowment while searching for a bear. Honestly i have no idea what it means, i was sitting in class, bored, thinking of a name for some odd reason i came up with cipherence. i like it so i'm good.

so let me get this straight....
your name is something that is not a word, nor does it have any meaning, and your avatar is a picture you found somewhere of who, you don't know, but you use it just because you like it..... have i got that right?



*if i wasn't so close to finishing i'd have quit by now, college/univ is so useless, stressfull, expensive and time consuming

I got good grades in highschool, and have had a free ride through college.

I'm actually making money by attending

[eLliDKraM]

60% is paid through scholarships that i got in high school. even though i was a naughty boy

[Datalus]

Learned the basics.

It gave me the opportunity to work for an NSF-funded project, which I acquired the most of my Software Engineering skills.

Ok I'll just be honest. I was homeschooled, therefore, college seemed like a foreign land I didn't want to travel to.

And I was raised to FIGHT THE POWER.

College set me back 2 years in technology. They taught me the wrong way to program and forced me to learn incorrect syntax and created bad coding habits. Very little of what I learned could ever be used in a business environment and if it were to be used, I'd likely lose my job.

I had a wonderful technical writing teacher and learned a lot about the proper way to write technical documents and resumes.

But other than that, it was a joke.

I hear ya, our prof said that we would be able to take the Java certification exam after taking his Java 1 and 2 courses.

i was forced to homeschool after a couple problems with public school, then again two years later. it was awesome, wake up at 6, sign on to the homeschool site, finish by 9:30, and i could wreak havoc for the wrest of the day
