Heidi Martinuzzi to Obtain Master's Degree in Journalism!

Congratulations, Heidi! Nothing like credit in the straight world. And I'm sure come 2011 there'll be loads of openings at Fox News. Although, most of them will be in Sean Hannity's head. Still, a gal with your moxie is sure to impress.

Good luck, and great news.

Congrats! And I must say I love the way your wrote this up.

Woot! Congrats Heidi!

Fucking awesome!

Congratulations!

Jessica

Thanks!:::))

Hope you have more luck with your degree than I did.

Steve, what happened with yours?

Now, now, none of that. Positivity people, positivity. Keep moving forward!

Congratulations Heidi, that's fantastic!

Congrats Heidi! Much respect. Just curious ...what different type of education does everyone here have?

BS in Computer Science

Congrats, Heidi! That's awesome.

Killer, I'm a graphic design major, although I'm considering switching my major to Media Art and Animation. Graphic design is getting kinda boring. LOL

I have a (and this is just ridiculous) B.A. in Physical Anthropology, a B.A. in Sociology, and a B.A. in English Literature.

None of these are useful in any way.

I wanted to be a forensic archaeologist, but got very turned off from Academia during an internship in South America after I graduated. I was all set to go to University of North carolina to pursue a master's and doctorate in physical anthropology, but, after seeing what drunks all archaeologists are, I decided not to go.

Then I proceeded to drink anyway and go to grad school for Library Science, when I dropped out to marry a rich dude and drink more. Then I stopped drinking and being married and now I am going to get a different degree and go back to academia.

Ash, this sounds ign'ant, but what's the difference between media art and graphic design?

I know nothing of your ways, strange one...

you said B.S. huhuhuhuhuh

I have a B.A. in Psychology and a B.A. in Cinema.

I'd love to go back to school and get an MFA in New Media or Cinematography, but I still haven't paid off my last student loans and don't want to go any further in debt - a master's degree in cinematography from AFI costs over $80,000 right now.

Graphic Design-- using photoshop, Illustrator (death to Illustrator), desktop publishing, logos, websites, promo graphics, ect ect. Boring me out of my skull, actually. LOL

Media arts and animation-- drawing pictures. 3-d modeling, stuff that I'll probably never ever actually get paid to do, but will give me some sort of sense of satisfaction.

One more year until I get my B.S. in Criminal Justice and then I have no fucking clue what I am going to do.

asharceneaux yeah many people I know go into graphic design then switch because they say it's boring.

Heidi I know what you mean. I have a BA in Sociology, BA in Psych, and BA in communication and 2 social service certificates does anyone care? NO I'd be lucky to work as a waitress with that. I have a BSW too. I should have saved myself $50,000 and just went for the BSW.

filmgal $80,000? That's a huge chunk of change. I'm from Canada and I think the most I could get for student loan is like $13,000. Of course I have to pay every cent back, but if I was unemployed and wanted to go into a program, unemployment would pay every cent of it no matter how much it costs.

How does your student funding work?

Heidi, you've done more in your real life than I've done in the one inside my vivid imagination. My psychiatrist tried to talk me into attending community college, so I had to stop seeing him. Later on I took Deadpit Radio's advice and attained a Doctorate degree in Horrorology. Basically you just watch Maximum Overdrive over and over until you "really get it".

As far as drunk archeologists go... well, yeah... Indiana Jones was shitfaced like, eighty-percent of the time. Did you see him climb into that refridgerator to escape an atomic blast? Drunken ingenuity at its finest.

Dropping out to marry a rich dude sounds sort of like the best idea I've ever heard. I had the chance to marry a rich woman once. Well, her parents were rich at least. I broke it off with her though because I was too focused on goofing off with my guy pals. I made the right call, for sure (he said, gazing across the cigarette burned carpet of his one-bedroom shithole for leftover pizza crust).

Even I heard about this, Heidi. Seems his diploma was folded into a giant paper airplane and sent into the stands at graduation killing four and wounding 9. Guess you were too busy polishing rocks and cracking whips to pay attention to the plights of real, live people.

As for me, SKOOL OF HARD KNOCKS, YO.

Actually, B.A. in Television, Radio and Film Writing from Newhouse and a minor in English Lit. Took a lot of grad courses, too. But a writer needs to write. You can't rush that shit, know what I'm sayin'?

Yo.

My degree is costing me about 75K--all student loans, thanks to Obama LOL. I was paying about $700 out of pocket, but when he passed the bill for upping student loans, I actually GET about $700 back a semester.

Oh, I forgot to mention my AS in early childhood education. I also hold director's credentials and every cert the state of FL has for childcare workers. I have actually been using that degree, although I've never been able to make more than $8.75 an hour with it.

Dude, you're going to keep hardcore serial killers behind bars, and develop an intimate mental relationship with one of them, a cannibal, who escapes and only contacts you, toying with you as you hunt him down.

But while he plays a dangerous game of cat and mouse with you, he could never have imagined the dark secret you have in your past, and how that dark secret will surface just as the ultimate confrontation between killer and cop arrives at a climactic moment! Starring Costas Mandylor and Elizabeth Shue.

of course!

Don't forget the twisted dark romance that forms between the cannibal and the protagonist.

I am really freaked about school. After my orientation last night i was walking around campus looking at stuff, and I walked into the gym, because I love gyms, and I was checking out all the equipment and I saw that they have a huge swimming pool with lounge chairs and a jacuzzi, and it costs a small day fee to lay out there. I asked the chick working at the counter, who was about 20, how much the fee was, and she looked at me and went, 'For you? or for a student?'

which made me feel... lame.

anyway, its 1 buck for a student which was kind of a small consolation. sigh.

GED, you nerdy ass faggots.
heidi, A+.

She doesn't sound too bright, Heidi, which is why she was probably stuck working the counter of a college gym.

Just remember, chicks working behind the counter of college gyms are usually dead by the end of the first act of any horror movie set in a college.

Jessica

hahahah exactly.

hahahah exactly.

Congratulations, Heidi! I've been out of the loop for a while. Been VERY busy lately.

Anyway, that's great! I got my associate degree last year. I'm actually considering going back to college to work on my masters degree. You've been an inspiration to me!

My degree in Journalism didn't get me much work and I pretty much gave up on getting paid to write years ago.
