Aaawh yes, the last year of school.. I couldn't wait to be done with it and start my life..

...and as soon as school was over and I started working my ass off I realised that school was a vacation and real life was hell (except for partying and girls and living on my own)...

But hey! I guess that's just me..
I miss school when I visit certain special schools that educate you specificly in for example "rock and metal", or video game design or e-sport education.. but the few times I'm there, because I'm invited by the musicans to see a concert they're playing, I always feel like an old fart ^_^

Anyway, good luck people!

I just remember finishing my last freaking paper to get my Masters and swearing to myself I would never write a paper again.

I haven't.

Classes were supposed to start then, but my uni decided to start three data early and give us three days off the week of thanksgiving. When we go on break for thanksgiving, were being asked not to return.

Technically, my program doesnt have a thesis requirement either. We have a practical requirement, where we spend a full year working with a business or nonprofit or government entity to do the whole find a problem, do research, find data, suggest solutions, implement solution thing.

me and four other students are working with a big federal government office to help create a new policy for use in times of national public health emergencies. The Department were working with wants a 400ish page final report, but that isnt as bad when you have a group working on it.

and, Im sort of the stats guy in my group. The emphases of my degree are in data analytics and analytical methods, so I agreed to take on more of that work if others did the actual writing lol

What's the point if they'll just ignore it?

eh. From family opened hardware stores to the American Red Cross, and from local governments to big companies like Walmart, previous groups from my school have managed to successfully get some kind of policy change to happen.

youre right that the group Im working for is a huge federal department, but my group is only trying to make a change at our local HQ. There is a piece in there about our project being so successful it could be adopted by other locations or even made a department-wide policy, but thats extremely unlikely for sure. But maybe well make some kind of difference on a small scale.

and even if we dont I still gotta get those good good grades

What? Why? You're getting an MPA right? That is unheard of.

well itsa group project, so it comes out to about 60-80 pages per person, then you gotta figure in references and tables and figures blah blah blah. With a good group it could turn out to be not super fatiguing.

the client sent us some example reports for us to emulate, and those are all about 300 pages (I could PM them to you if you want. Id post but they have names of people who probably dont want to be shared). They want us to be just a bit more in depth though, they mentioned.

Ah so it's a policy lab? Still sounds like overkill to me without seeing examples (feel free to send one).
