Lost in the shuffle of redesigning 2009 has been my pursuit of higher education. Classes start this week at Monroe County Community College. Network Security and Technical Writing are the two classes I’m taking this semester. This will be the first semester, of 4 so far, that I will be learning something new. Previous classes included PC operating systems, Network concepts, and Help desk concepts, most of which were modulations of what I’ve self-taught in the last 10 years. I’m looking forward to it, but with trepidation at the time I’ll have to put into it. I WILL continue the writing, though, and the priority of family remains.
Yes, it is an Associate degree. I do have a Masters in Library Science. I tend to do things in jumbled, unconventional sequence. Kids, shack up, marriage. Buy stuff, need stuff, pay for stuff. Bachelors, Masters, Associates. This degree will likely not help with the 2009 Big Goal, but it will offer another tack for future career endeavors. We do a lot with online resources that have to be shared through our internal network. If I know how the networks operate, I can make the most of our knowledge-based information resources. As with automobiles, there will always be a demand for those who can repair and maintain computers and networks.
It’s all part of the bigger goal of MAKING MORE MONEY.
So that we can get another dog.
