Better late than never

Post by Softball »

It's offical! I am happy to announce that I will be going to school starting in September 06, to get my Bachelor's Degree in Information Systems Security. I will be attending ITT Technical Institute in San Diego, the degree program I am taking is a 3 year, 9 month course. I am hoping this will open new doors in my working future.

I have been contemplating this for a couple years, and finally decided that if I want to advance my career, lifestyle, make more money, etc.. , this is what I need to do. I will be going to school full time at night, M T W during the week.(12 credit hours, 3 classes per quarter). With this workload and homework, this will limit my gaming time online. I will still try and make it for Friday nights, but I won't make any promises.

I already have about (2) years of college from taking Criminal Justice classes from 1987 to 1996, at a couple of local community colleges here in San Diego. Sadly, in 1996 I decided not to pursue a career in Law Enforcement and have been in Limbo ever since (10 years). There were too many hoops I had to jump through to get where I wanted in Law Enforcement, and I was just spinning my wheels not making any progress. Yes, it would have been great to get into, but I decided to pursue other options. I guess you could say I wasted 9-10 years of my life trying to get into Law Enforcement.

So there you have it, I am back in school. :) Wish me luck. Lol!

I did that thing 10 years ago (ok, 11) and I just can't picture going back to it! :shock:
If I ever do go for more classes, it will be online, at-my-own-time-of-choosing types. I'm just too tired after work to have to think...damn early-rising USAF...

After my cllage (99 - 03), I just wanted to get out and work. But found crap for jobs and such, and all wanting universitys and such. Only took me 1 year to sign up to go back and get my batolers degree (only finished this past spring). but I got lucky, the university I went to had a agrement with the collage that my collage was worth 2 years of university. So only had to do 2 years university to get a batolers with honors in compur science technology. but trust me, you well never regret it AFTER you are done. during the school, trust me you well thinking at 5 am, DOH DOH DOG due in 3 hr's :D . but after It makes a diffrence. I am now at apple computer for a short contract then, I got companeys interested in me on north eastern US. But trust me, you well not regreat it. :D

But depending on the classess, you may find that you an't got much game time. You can ask buff, Hondo, Tach and da da da, when university hit I went missing for 8 months tell the next summer. Sucks, but hey, its worth it in the end as then you can buy that OMG to game on later :D
