a-train Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 So I haven't been around for a while, I have been to busy with school. I see we have no shortage of trolls. Anyone else in school? What are you studying? Educational goals? -a-train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxel Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I just started. Doing general education mostly, hopefully I'll get a doctorate in the theater. I say 'hopefully' because that's my dream line of study. However, I feel I may end up studying something else- perhaps communication- for monetary purposes. I love the theater, but it's hard to raise a family with work related to a theater degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john doe Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I generally go to school once or twice a year. Sometimes I do online school. Next week I will be going to 'introduction to the 370Z and new technology highlights'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxz72 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Like pammy, I've fully been thinking about heading back to school myself. I would have to start all over from the beginning though, since I got married right out of high school and started my family. And I would be so torn between going back to become an educator (elementary education) or something more along the lines of the business I'm in and furthering my career there. If I go with the second choice my company will pay for it...so! That's a big incentive to go the HR/Business route. :) decisions decisions!

a-train Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Economics. I'm taking Macroeconomics, Algebra, Pre-Civil War American History, Political Science, and an English Course.I've not been to school in over ten years. I only went one semester to a community college before I dropped out to start my business. Today however, my interests have had me studying so much that I decided to go to school (might as well take advantage). I work part time for FedEx and they pay $3000 toward tuition (non-taxed in addition to salary). This is enought for two semesters full-time at my local community college. Thus, school is virtually free.Now I am trying to figure out to where I will transfer. Park College is blocks from my house, but I am having second thoughts about it because I have talked to students who have told me that the economics department is simply the study of Keynes (two friends got their degree in economics there).One friend is trying to convince me to transfer to the University of Texas at Austin. My wife is like: "When are we leaving!!!?!?!?" (She hates the winters here in Kansas City).Apparently enrollments have sky-rocketed in my area, a condition said by my economics professor to be usual in a recession. She says male enrollment usual goes up dramatically in such circumstances.Anyways, I have enjoyed this first month and I am excited about being in school the next few years.-a-train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigitalShadow Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I was working on computer science, but then I got hired in the industry halfway through and never finished school. I'm mostly self taught anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Mormon Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I plan on taking a couple of drafting courses this year, if my company will pay for it, and if I still have a job. They will be night classes or a 2 day course type of set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
