if you keep waiting till the last minute like you are now and have no room for classes you need, eventually it will cross your mind to drop or not even register. Do online easy classes

and pretty much none of the higher level courses are offered online. And if I did come across one. Those are even easier to procrastinate and forget about.

I graduated with my BA in Economics, and I should have gone on to get my MBA. I too was sick of school and started working. Now I'm 36 with a beautiful wife and two kids(20mths & 5yr old) and I'm trying to find the time to get back into school in order to get my MBA. Keep striving and sacrifice now because it only gets a little tougher later in life. Good luck as I had a blast in school, not only did I receive an education but I got a chance to become an adult,live on my own,figure things out for myself and meet some life-long friends.

do y'all know what constitutes as an elective? can it be pretty much anything? I havent taken any. And I need 12-13 elective hrs. Thinking about going to a community college for those, since as of right now I live closer to one, and then I wouldnt need to move back to SM at the moment. I looked at the texas state equivalency page. Some classes transfer directly to a TX ST course, but others transfer has ELNA. If it transfers directly can I still use that course as an elective? not sure if that made sense.

Hey, man, how did the job hunt go after you graduated with the Physics BS? I'm working on that right now. I definitely plan on getting a Master's in Physics, too. Any advice or anything would be appreciated, bro.

I'm SO glad I didn't give up. I went from 1993 - 2007 while working full time.
Just think of it as a way of life. Being a student for so many years will help you become a better student in life - not just school.
I was a student so long, it felt really weird not to spend every waking moment thinking about and doing homework and studying. Now I spend every waking moment learning about and studying cars.
