I finally graduated with a doctorate yesterday! Hand Shake Left

:handshakeR:

After 10 loooong years at Monash Uni -- 3 years mechanical engineering, 4 years computer science, and 4 years PhD -- it's all finally over. Now I can focus on building games, which I now realise is one of the most fruitful and intellectually stimulating activities one can undertake. Not to mention that, unlike a PhD, people can actually understand what you're doing, it has commercial viability, and more than that, it's fun!

Now Zoidberg and I can hang out and discuss Doctorology!

Dang man, great work!

Good to see another Mechanical Engineer hanging around the place! Now I'm gonna need to go get my PhD too. You are only escalating matters.

Congratulations to you!

@sirniko I did 3 years of MechEng before I started failing, so don't ask me any mech questions Tongue

. Then I started over and did a comp sci degree which I smashed. Oh, and my advice is to not do a PhD, unless you have a very clear idea already and can finish in 3 years. I took 4 and a half, and the last year dragged on and was hell.
@richard thx, just wearing the oversized dr seuss hat was worth all the effort.

@monster, thats dr. wizard to you. O_O
@moi ooh yes please!
@radix The only argument i have is where the couch is positioned in our loungeroom. and i'll just get kicked in the nuts by the wife if I play the PhD card.
@andyw cheers! i will use it well ... by quitting academia and being an indie developer. Addicted
