Thesis Defense!

[woodtick]

Happy times gentlemen!! I know this is probably not that big of a deal to many but I'm to dang happy not to share this with some of you. The title says it all and I passed with flying colors, I just have a few more edits to do on my paper and it'll be off to the printing press!! Went out for a very fitting prime rib dinner afterwards!

Good job! That is a lot of hard work. Are you getting published, too?

Awesome man! Congratulations! I still have three semesters left before I defend mine... It's a long road but well worth it in the long run

 

[Colorado Cowboy]

Congratulations! It's been so damn long ago that I was in your shoes, But I still remember the apprehension before and joy afterwards. Way to go.

Congrats bud! Having known several family members that have gone through the thesis process, I know how taxing it can be and it's one hell of an accomplishment.

Good work man! Congrats! It is quite a stressful time. Nice work on getting those pubs too! You going for a doctorate next?

Thanks everyone!! And no PhD for me, academia is not my cup of tea! I just want to find me a respectful job where I can make some decent money and still be home at nights with my family!

 

[THelms]

Congratulations Woodtick! I just finished mine up as well. Did my defense back in October, I still remember how nerve wracking it was and there are still times now that I just sit back, smile, and bask in the accomplishment. Good on ya man!

As soon as I graduated with my BS (1963), I was drafted into the Army. Got married to my HS sweetheart while serving Uncle Sam. Went to work after discharge. After about 5 or 6 years I realized that I needed some more education. Took me another 5+ years to get my MS in 1982 at age 40. It was a tough grind. You are doing the right thing getting what you need to have in your field when you are young. Congrats again!

 

[Timberstalker]

Holy cow, my brain hurts just thinking about having to do a project like that. Nice work, congrats!
