Fair point...maybe there are some innocent people who go over there as I hear it’s a nice place, at least if you’re not planning on being a revolutionary.
The account, in Russian, is here: Missing American Katherine Sirota was found murdered. Online NN.RU
There is some difficulty in searching for this, as the Russian spelling of her name is slightly different than the English.
In short the Russians took this incident seriously and mobilized to try and save her, unfortunately they did not, despite a large community effort. There are many photos of the search and searchers, including one of Catherine in the right front side window of the abductor's automobile.
That’s cool and inspiring.
I would love start over (and finish) if I had the time. I’d aim for either a Physics or EE major.
thinking about going back and get my GED...
= = =
Thinking and GED in the same sentence.
Sounds Supremacist to me.
“general personal liberty that the average person can have is very attractive”
I’m not doubting what you say at all, but to someone who grew up in the cold war that statement is mind boggling when you’re comparing it to the U.S. What a sad state of affairs we are in.
I was once told (by someone very smart) that the day you stop learning is the day you start dying. I know it was a snide comment, but I took that to heart when I had to get a heart surgery. I was always worried that I couldn’t pay back the loan or that I would never recover the cost. My wife asked me what I had to loose.
Came down to why not?
Why not? How about WHY?! At your age and level of your profession, what benefit could an additional degree bring? In my worlds, people stopped caring about degrees decades ago. Proven track record is all that matters.
There are free online classes from many of the major universities.
It’s not The Gulag anymore
I changed majors a bunch. Was in school finishing my physics degree at 34
Course I wasn’t in Russia either
Strange story:
Serou enrolled in a master’s program in law at Lobachevsky University in Nizhny Novgorod in the fall of 2019, her mother, Beccy Serou, told NPR on Friday. Catherine Serou wanted to study Russian before applying for law school in the United States and pursuing a career as an immigration lawyer.
She served in the Marine Corps and did one tour in Afghanistan before earning a bachelor’s degree in design and a master’s degree in art history at the University of California, Davis.

Definitely don’t do that, it will not go over well. :)
Just sayin'.
The Russian soccer coach may be headed there after today.
Earlier today, on the thread about black boxes in cars, I commented that if you aren't doing anything wrong, you have nothing to hide. It was obvious sarcasm, but still got a few snide replies.
One of my teachers in elementary school nicknamed me "The Instigator".
The additional degree enables a 30k to 40k annual boost to salary. Total degree (associate to masters) cost is $80k. The comes a point where upward mobility is halted until a masters is completed. I am facing that now. So pay off is 4 years post graduate pay bump.
We’re proud of you too!
You got busted for a stupid post. Deal with it.
LOL
High School then straight to 6 years of college is highly overrated.
