So, I shook down the Persian dude for a letter of rec:
Quote:
I would be glad to write a letter of recommendation...however, as your field of interest is either sciences or accounting my recommendation would not hold that much weight. You would be so much better off if you had recommendations from people in those fields and especially from people who have had you in the last year or two. Employers would also be helpful in recommendations as they can attest to your hard work and dedication.
Best wishes for your application. I know you will be successful in any field that you undertake.
Meanwhile, from the Greek professor:
Quote:
So, do I think that undertaking a classics research project is a good idea?
Only if it interests you for its own sake, or if you want to use it as a means of honing certain skills or disciplines that matter to you. I don't think it's worth doing if you are doing it primarily in the hope of getting..some other potential employer's...goodwill.
"..."
Irony is a beautiful thing.
As I have often said, this sort of thing is not new to me and it's why I get angry when praised. Regardless, I am, materially, getting what I want. I will write a clever response to the first and I'll have the pieces I need for the next step in the process. I missed talking to Fanta, have to go do that.
