All my final grades are in and I still have a 4.0! This is after seven years (full and part time) of work towards this degree, with one semester off for good behavior. Yeah, I know that on the Internet everyone and their mother has a 4.0. Well, I have one too.
Not that this matters to my clients.
I've had a couple translation jobs come in this week. I've told the project managers, "Yes! I'm even more qualified to do this job than before—I completed a bachelor's in computer engineering just last week!"
Their response: "Oh… Anyway, can you get this done by Tuesday?"
Yes, this has definitely been seven years and $30,000 well spent.

Posted by: Jonathan Dresner at May 19, 2005 04:05 PMThanks. It's rather exciting for me! I had one at community college too, but this one is a little bigger. I have to say, though, that this will probably be the last 4.0 I try for. This working to my full potential has about killed me.
