Just thought some peeps on this here board might like to see me and my prize joy that I spent the last 4 years of my life trying to obtain. And of all things a piece of paper. Some $30,000-$60,000 later, this is what it's all about.....a dipolma

That's wonderful!! I wish you all the luck in the world.

That piece of paper is the "key" to your success. You should be very proud. I wish you the very best life has to offer. Congratulations.

Btw, nice picture.

Excellent. Well done mate. I still haven't congratulated you. You must be absolutely buzzing still for that. A mixture of effort and time gives the greatest reward of all.

Cool pic, too.

That piece of paper did cost a lot, but think about what it would cost you later in life if you were without it! Many new doors will now be opened for you.

Besides, it's the American way: Now you gotta work b/c you're up to your eyeballs in student loans.

Seriously, congrats!

Good job earning that mang! Time to say bye to those roommates of yours.

congrats irishman, it wll pay off.mine did. only thing u need to trade that yank hat for a red sox hat lol. good luck in the future all my best

I'm so happy for you, Irishman! Yes, that piece of paper cost a lot of money, but that piece of paper will get you the job to pay off that debt. You should be proud of yourself, Irish!

Congratulations mang! What was your major? Do you plan to go to grad school? In any case I wish you the best of luck!

Well thank you all for the kind words and support. I must confess that the picture only looks good because of the man behind the camera, my friend, Nathan who I got to take it for me. I know some of you might be wondering what I'm going to be doing now that I'm a college grad. I'm going back to New York a week from this Thursday for the summer to work back at West Point (which is where I did my internship last summer). I need to study and take my GMAT test (which is the entrance exam for doing a master's program), and I plan on continuing my education at my old college. I'm going for my MBA with an emphasize in Sport Management.

Congrats and good luck in ya life man!

I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Sport Management

That's great! I hope you get your masters sooner and be able to find a job you like.

I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Sport Management [/b][/quote]Maybe you should be like George Costanza and do something in the area of Risk Management. :p

Seriously, that's great. Grad school is a breeze compared to undergrad b/c you don't have to take too many classes that don't interest you.

Help me out. So that would be good for?

Gym Teacher, Coach, Personal Trainer?

Well done mate,i wish i had all the paitence and braverey like you to acheive such a thing.

Good Luck and well done

I'm guessing more like Arli$$ ?

I'm guessing more like Arli$$ ? [/b][/quote]SHOW ME THE MONEY!- (Cuba Gooden Jr.)

Isn't that more like being an agent then?
I loved that show Arl$$

Congrats and good luck in sports. You are going to be a coach like Al in AGS? Very passionate? And in what kind of sport?

Help me out. So that would be good for?

Gym Teacher, Coach, Personal Trainer? [/quote]I originally went into this degree to be a sports agent but I learned just how tough the competition is and also that I'd have to attend law school upon graduation. I was only planning on receving my undergrad degree, but as of late I figured I'd do my grad work while I've still got the drive. As for this major, yeah it can be used for almost anything in sports. Coach, trainer, or front office work which is what I want to do for the Yankes (hopefully in the ticket office because I'm already somewhat familar with that process due to my internship)

Congratulations, Irish! It takes true responsibility and dedication to accomplish what you have, and I admire that. Good luck in all your future endeavors!

You spent almost 60 grand going to school to work in a ticket ofice? Even if it is the Yankees man, I think it would have been better if you met the office manager and kissed up to him/her. Cheaper too.

Probably, but I'll work security for the Yankees if I can. I don't care, I'll do whatever I can for that awesome franchise. I'll be part of the cleanup crew and pick up throw up from the urinals if I have to (as long as I can earn myself a World Series ring when the team wins)

Hey, dreams are what it is all about.

But, I don't think you need a masters degree to do any of that. In fact Rico does all of that and he didn't even get out of High School.

Congrats on a job well done! Good Luck on your new adventures

Will you get Steinbrener (spelling) canolis?

Whatever keeps The Boss happy

I understand he is looking for some bright talent,
to clean some stalls.

As long as I would be entitled to getting a ring I'll do whatever they want me to

Just think, if you did ever get a ring, you could show it to all the girls that wouldn't give you the time of day before.

BTW, stable boys don't get rings. But you could work your way up.
