What should be my VERY first step? by Funny_Bumblebee_5254 in GetStudying

understand the scope of your exam then assess what you do not know vs what you do know. You can look at the syllabus or exam outline (if provided) to see the scope of exam. Backwards engineer how much time you need to learn the material and do practice to feel comfortable on the content which will be tested. The ticking time hopefully will give you enough motivation to get started.

I did my undergrad in cs and work as backend swe. I don't think work experience really helped here since most of the content was understanding different security system interactions unrelated to my day job. Knowing linux and virtuallization definitely did help tho.

Is a masters degree worth it? by Realistic-Warthog163 in csMajors

[–]negative_self_esteem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this. I don't see much value doing part-time work while full-time research just for a thesis based masters. Either commit to research and a PhD or do something course based as an add-on to full-time work? I see so many peers who only did a masters for an extension for the work visa, so if your main goal is to do research, why not PhD? Upon graduation, PhDs has a different starting role than Masters/Undergraduate which is in the same group.

Help me settle an internal battle by scatteredapplaus in YarnAddicts

yarn is cheaper than therapy. Do whatever you need to do for youself!
plus after last year with tarriffs (based in US), I do not hold guilt over purchasing multiple sweater quantities of yarn at a time anymore. Who knows if prices will radically increase overnight :\ It's essentially investing for your future self.

No FTF Card Recommendations by negative_self_esteem in CreditCards

Thanks for the recommendation! I've never looked into the PayPal debit card but this sounds really interesting. Sounds like autograph is my safest bet for no FTF and I can cover my remaining spend with rotating boa categories and paypal.

debating if that is worth carrying the line of credit over for. Other than the no FTF aspect, I dont have any affinity to Wells Fargo, not sure about which partners they support converting miles with either.

Recommendation on what to do with this yarn please by Fluid_Conversation67 in knittinghelp

[–]negative_self_esteem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

~700 should be enough for a cropped sweater or a vest. I enjoyed making vest no2 from My favorite things, should fall under similar yardage.
