I move that on the interior title pages of all non-fiction books they should write out their own citation. In Chicago and APA styles at minimum.

The more I look into what I can do with a history degree, the more I'm sure I want to do this. Some of them are really encouraging too. A lot didn't go for this route until they were older while some went in younger. A few didn't have college degrees at all before 30 but went back and now have their doctorates and are doing lots of cool things.

Its really encouraging because my family is trying to shut me down saying the degree is useless. But its not. You just have to be aggressive, determined, and capable.

If you know what you want to do with the degree that over half the battle. (also why I didn't become a history major love to learn about it couldn't figure out what I'd actually do with it though). If you can go to your parent and say I want this this and and gonna do this you probably get rid of most of their objections

MLA style.

That said, a lot of non-fiction I've read give sources at the end, as is normal.

Parents arent paying for it, they just have free speech.

Thuz is a grown man who is returning to school as an adult, his parents have no hand in his choice of program or the payment thereof. All they can do is say their opinions.

Gotta tell you, your choice to go back to school makes me respect you so much more. Not because that piece of paper has intrinsic value, but because anyone who is out to better themselves in any way deserves huge kudos. Not that I didn't respect you in the first place, but this particular decision is one that I really stand beside.

I'll cite in Chicago instead of IEEE when hell freezes over

that said, i do like footnotes

Be proud of yourself, it's a tough thing to do. It's easy to fall into a niche as an adult and never shake yourself out of it. Then it's a decade later and you're questioning where the time went.

do you ever use citation software? I could never have managed 50+ sources without it
i just used the mendeley plugin with a library of 200 or so books and papers and it did everything automatically

Feck no, they always screw something up for Chicago, which is the standard for historical research.

Imagine not using APA lmfao

Just got done with the second day of the Golf Masters practice rounds. It was raining at first but was clear by noon thank god. I'm thankful my friend invited me to go.

One short ER trip later.

I disagree. The Earth is actually a one dimensional point on the back of a giant banana in space eating a plate of watery spaghetti. Don't come for me, I speak only the truth.

Is the earth or the banana eating the spaghetti? Got some syntactic ambiguity going on there bud

To be honest, till I was eight or something, I actually believed that a huge tortoise held the Earth.

oh fair enough, I use it for engineering papers and it works like gangbusters for that

Why a tortoise?

when you forget an asset you have and need to pay three dollars in tax to the commonwealth of PA so that when you say under oath and lie detector you have never not paid taxes so you have to file a whole new return

If I’m right the tortoise holding up the Earth on its shell is a critical thing in Hindu faith.

Sounds like fun.

Yeah. Thank goodness my friends were with me or else I would've bled out there and then. I didn't lose to much blood though, got patched and taken pretty quickly, nasty scar though.
