I feel like I am as of now (still in undergrad).

This got me thinking because my professor for next semester is a historian on European history and the class is on Nazi Germany.

This dude used to be a professor at Harvard, has his own wikipedia page, wrote plenty of books (like most other scholars), and even coined his own term

This **** got me thinking.... When will you ever get an opportunity like this? To be able to visit him during office hours and talk about **** like this from a top scholar?

Also, my job (I work for IT at my school) is training me (and paying for the test) in order for me to get Apple Certified so I can repair Apple computers.

This may sound like a humble brag but man we gotta take every opportunity.

Anyone who's in undergrad/going to college... Take advantage of every opportunity your university has to offer man. With the amount of $$$ you pay, get your money's worth.

Consign. It took a minute for me to grasp all that college had to offer but once I realized what I was surrounded by you can't help but be grateful. Just had a class last semester with a NYU phd, published & used our excerpts from our class in his new work. Crazy experience & forever thankful to have been able to afford college.
 
Regular people email and set appointments up with college professors ALL THE TIME.

So yes, you can do that without being in college

did he pay you money for using your content in his book? 
 
Word. So many dudes sleep on meeting with the professors bc they ain't got "time". Missed opportunity bro. Especially if they are a passionate teacher...literally so hard to find those people once you leave school
 
Still communicate with 4 of my old college today. That does wonders building relationships like that.
 
Nobody got fleeced shut up. The man has provided me with invaluable skills & resources. But I got fleeced bc I declined a few pennies from my minimal role in his work :rolleyes
 
Man Nt dumb sometimes :lol:


I'm making it a priority this semester to meet with teachers and get the most out of school.
