Finally I'm a Master of Science

[Gnome]

The reason why I've been virtually gone from JABBAS WORLD the last few months is that I've been working on the final project of my Master of Science degree. Now I'm done! 5 years of studying at the university is over! It's a bit sad, but at least I have some spare time again.

Actually I have a lot of spare time, because I'm unemployed... There are not many vacancies that I am qualified for either. I'm searching and applying for jobs all over the country. The next months I'll be on my back in the garden when the weather is good, and here in JABBAS WORLD when the weather is bad. :D

[BADMIHAI]

Congratulations. So the job market isn't doing good in Norway either, eh?

[TT]

Congarst dude! Fingers crossed for your first job!

[abbor]

Congrats...
So, is Trondheim fun? Thinking about studying there, but I'm not sure...

[cooperluke]

Congratulations!!
And what's your area? You took the Msc in what?

[SFDMALEX]

Congrats. The feeling of accomplisihing a goal as big is that has to be awesome. Good luck finding a job. Germany is always a good place to look for a engineering/science type of ojb.

congratulations mate...good job, and be sure that years of hard studying will give u some good things in the future :D

[graywolf624]

Congrats. I am just begining my mba(albeit I remedied the issue with unemployment). Good luck to you in your job search.

Congrats, isnt sad leaving school forever???? hahah, hope you find a job!! :o

[Gimp]

Congratulations man. What area did you get your Masters in? Are you going to get a PHD?

[Gnome]

I'm a control engineer. My speciality is autopilots for ships, but the principal is the same for controlling robots, cars, planes or whatever. Even though there are some differences, I can design systems for controlling a complete production line in a factory, too. (larger, slower system)

No, Gimp, I don't think I want to become a doctor. Not yet anyway. You need to find a scientific problem that you find particularly interesting to complete a good PhD. Right now I haven't got that kind of favorite problem. Maybe after a few years in practical work?

Trondheim is an amazing city for studying! The university is very good, especially the engineering part. That is very important, but far from everything. 1/5 of the city's population are students. This has made the city well adapted to the needs of the students, and the "natives" understand that the students are important for the city. The student society offers good concerts with international artists cheap, and a nightlife satisfying us all. No city in Norway can match the student life in Trondheim! I'm gonna miss that life!

[abbor]

After hearing all those positive words about the city, I think maybe my mind's made up.. :) No, I can't decide what I want to do for a living, so I have no idea what I shall study! :(
BTW: Do you know a Thomas from Arendal who's 3 or four years older than me?

[chipanggo]

congratulations mate. good luck on your job hunting. :)

i congratulate you for whatever it is you did, and forgive me if i sound ignorant, but what is the use of studying for 5 years and gaining a prestigous qualification in some unearthly science that didn't even get you a job? the way i see it, if you spent 5 years racking your brain only to come away with a piece of paper, no job, and enough free time to plant flowers, then you've wasted your time :|

[Chingachgook]

Congratulations and for me as for the others, finger crossed!!!

[mindgam3]

Yeah congrats mate :D im hopefully starting my masters course in motorsport engineering at brunel this september, hope i end up with the same results as you ;) in enginnering rather than science however ;)

[stradale]

Congratulations, Gnome! Your situation sounds very similar to mine (even the town where you studied), albeit that I'm looking for a job a bit longer now. The best of luck with that!

[Evo]

Congratulations.. So Your a smart guy now.. :mrgreen: Then how come you can't get a Job.. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: .. Just playing with you.. Hope you get one soon with a great pay.. .So you can share the money with us at JW.

[abbor]

Congrats Gnome, enjoy your summer.....

Trondheim is a great city, but for studies I would prefer Bergen really..... :wink:

But I don't want to live in constant rain... :wink:

[abbor]

Is there a problem with white tennis socks, leather wests and mustache? You just described me :lol:
Okay, maybe you're right... I'm not really sure. Can't decide!!

I see that it can look like that, and you saying so doesn't offend me at all. That might even be true for some people, but luckily we are different.

It's not like I can't get a job. It's about one month since I was done, and I need some vacation after those last 6 months. People say that there usually is a new rush of jobs in the fall.

I didn't become an engineer because it would be easy to get a job, nor because of the money. I did it to work with something I like, and, more importantly, to work with things I like for the rest of my life. This means that I need variation in the every day tasks. I love cars, but I think I might have grown sick of being a car mechanic after 20 years. I know that there are loads of different possible careers for car mechanics (just a random example), but I think that an engineer has more potential for diversity.

When I've had so much fun on the way, there is no doubt in my mind that this was the right thing to do for me. No time wasted yet!

Congrats Gnome - you're a year ahead of me and its inspiring to see theres an end to it! Trondheim is a great place to study, but Bergen is awesome ;)

Abbor, don't worry about the rain. Its the sleet that'll get you *lol* bergen is fine, not so cold in the winter and nice compact city boiling with ppl as soon as the sun gets out. Came here for my military service ten years ago and have grown fond of it.

I would'nt worry too much about finding a job, I'm sure there's plenty once the holidays are over and things start getting serious again. So now you're a professional in a high income bracket, whatever will you spen all the money on? :razz:
