lol will someone do me a favor and look it up in the trainer? specifically the ones listed, not just general flaw. Its weird how I have no problem with most flaw questions and f these ones up

What do you mean specifically the ones listed?

"The flaw is that the passage overlooks ___"

Wherever those are in the book haha

I just got home give me 5 min to look it up

Edit: you could look @ trainer pg 74/75 and do the drills while only focusing on fails to consider, not takes for granted

Good find, ty

[boris09]

Just wanted to say thank you LLH for the kind words, and to smcgrey for always providing a sense of entertainment to my visits to this thread

would have quoted the both of you, but for some reason my above-average technological expertise doesn't apply to TLS

[Colonel_funkadunk]

No problem good luck w it

Edit: forgot to quote baseball

I have a worthless MA, am 3ish years out of UG. Currently a middle school librarian. Other WE includes unemployment.

What do you have? I'm English, four years out from undergraduate study.

Poli sci. Thot I wanted to be a prof until I found out that grad school was dumb.

I'm not sure what you mean by "I'm English"? Are you saying you're British?

I meant, I'm English MA. I also wanted to be a professor.

I'm starting to feel that if i happen to be attending the same school as either of you i definitely wouldn't be the brightest bulb of the bunch. Just a regular ol' third year going into his final year of undergraduate studies in criminology lol

degrees really, honestly don't mean shit. You don't have to be smart to get an advanced degree of any sort.

Truer words have never been spoken. Some of the people I'm surrounded by have multiple master's degrees but are still working the same type of job I am straight out of undergrad and have $100K+ in debt.

Yeah idk I pretty much disagree w this. I'm adamantly opposed to the notion that someone's earnings potential/power is correlated w intelligence. Some ppl are smart and dc about making money. Some ppl are smart and don't like having a boss. Some ppl
Are dumb AF yet somehow make good money. All in all I don't think ones income is indicative of ones intelligence.

Although I do think you should only go to grad school if u get it paid for bc a lot of masters just aren't worth it.

How long do you guys wait to start a PT after doing a warm-up? My concern is that my current strategy (waiting 15 minutes or so before starting the test) isn't really mimicking test-day conditions...is this a big deal (i.e. should I be waiting an hour?), or am I reading too much into this?

And I mean, I don't think it's a good idea to just keep getting more and more degrees if you're not really using any of them (and if you're not being paid to accumulate them!)

[Colonel_funkadunk]

A degrees value is for the most part relative to how many there are. Getting a bachelors degree and masters degree today is way less valuable than 25 years ago bc of how many are being churned out. See the problem w the legal market

1. You're in the sciences and want to work in research

the only person i know who has a worthwhile MA got it in civil engineering, with a focus on transportation. full ride+was an RA throughout so had room and board paid for plus a living stipend. i'm not entirely clear why he got it though bc he worked for the department of transportation every summer and had a job lined up with them upon completion of his BA. i think he just wanted to get his MA bc no one else in his department has one. on the upside i used to play in a lot of disc golf tourneys with him and he would talk my head off about stop light timing, flow of traffic, light patters, etc., so now i do consider myself somewhat of a lay expert on traffic engineering/patterns.

i received a full ride+living stipend while i got my MA and it's unclear if it was worth it even though i didn't pay for it. i typically leave it off my resume

Re: the terrible professor market, I've considered that career path but the market for prof jobs is even worse than legal market

[BJS]

Uh oh. I realized today I have five games left in the Cambridge Difficulty LG packet. Suggestions on other sources for challenging games? Should I just reprint and do them again? I want to do *at least* one per day until the end.
