One more sememster
« on: December 07, 2014, 06:13:09 PM »
One more semester of school left. I had to put the CB500 that I was building for my son on hold due to homework load. I haven't even had to to look over the forums here. However this summer it will all be over and I can finally have a life again. Working on bikes, maybe even having a beer. My weekends will be mine again :)
Just wanted to let everyone know I'm alive.

Yeah, I think it is this Thursday, or close. I haven't checked. Yep on Thursday I'll be doing Active Directory labs and practice tests.

The light at the end of the tunnel!


I'll never go back to school if I can help it, unless I make a MAJOR career change. My wife, on the other hand, loves to collect academic accolades. She is a faculty member at the local uni, so she gets to take courses for free. Starting another Masters degree in Jan.

Crazy person.

I'm studying computer information technology. I've been a computer tech for 15 years but didn't have a degree. I'm taking care of the missing degree and filling in knowledge gaps. I might take a few more classes after this but as part of a non-degree program. There's a nice powershell class that I' looking into and another on SCCM.

 I didn't do college but I remember after 4 years of trade school, taking  my plumbers license test. I scanned the first page and knew every answer. A big relief and a major change from my high school career.  Congrats and good luck.
