"Frankly all public servants should be required to have a camera running at all times when they are working."

Fine, but be prepared for the first-person video of me taking a piss in some conveniently placed foliage because I'm on a mail route with no bathrooms.

I agree. Venice was a very viable Civ to play as in V, and there you're only allowed one city.

I'm constantly being contacted through LinkedIn by recruiters who clearly haven't actually read my profile - they'll say they've read it and then say that they think I'd be perfect for the Senior Developer position they're hiring for, when my profile clearly has me as a student looking for entry -level positions. When I respond, or when they call me, I tell them my actual qualifications and they say that they'll definitely contact me in the future. To date I have not heard from a single one of them again.

I'm currently taking all my classes online, but through a brick-and-mortar college (I live too far from campus to attend in person, at least for now), and my school doesn't offer anything above Calculus 2 online, with the justification that the material is too tough to learn without direct instruction.

I have no idea how valid that justification is, but I imagine at least some other schools use a similar reasoning.

I may continue on for my Master's after finishing my BS, haven't decided yet.

First; I never finished a degree after High School. I got married instead and left school for the world of blue collar employment, which worked well enough for me for a long time, but now I find myself craving a career where I'm intellectually challenged.

I'm going to do it no matter what, I'd just like to hear opinions on what I'm getting into, so I can plan for likely roadblocks.
