Back to School

[viscousmemories]

I enrolled in the Axia College (University of Phoenix) online program today. To begin with I'll be working toward an associates degree in IT, and if that works out then I'll probably go on from there. My employer gives me around 2k a year for edumacation so I figured I'd use it.

Congrats, vm

C'mon in! The more the merrier.

[Crumb]

Cool, vm!

2K? A year???



Does your company need a slightly jaded yet highly skilled business analyst?

[Ensign Steve]

Excellent work, vm. I'm proud of you.

[Pinecone]

Cyber Uni = no gas to get to class! Cool!

Good luck with it and may your homework be minimal.

Hey vm. Keep us updated on how you find the classes and the workload for UP. I always wondered about the online college thing.

And wish I could go with you, I'm still paying off my last round of student loans.

[cappuccino]

You're so nerdy.





Congratulations! May your degree bring you many beers.

I have not tried the on-line classes, but I do enjoy the interaction of the ground classes. Curses it is no picnic. I will be on week 5 of my current class on Tuesday and have spent at least 12 hours a day sometimes longer at work this month due to this implementation I am working on. I am trying to unwind and taking Monday off from work so I can get caught up. I have been able to make it to the last two classes, but I have been late due to work load. I now have to play catch up, which means I have to finish my readings and write three papers, plus complete slides for a presentation due Tuesday. Yeah, it sucks to be me right now. While the work load from the classes can be overwhelming at times, I really like it. The people who teach at the Tulsa school are cool. Congrats for continuing your education VM.

Woot! WTG VM.

Two thousand dollars a year would be a mere pittance compared to the annual cost of a University of Phoenix full-time program. UoP isn't cheap, not by a long shot. It rivals University of Tulsa, a relatively expensive private college, in tuition cost.

The enrollment counselor said it should cover about half my costs for the associates program.

Sure. But it's at least something and quite a bit more than any offering by any company I've worked for.

I think it's neat that vm's employer is offering that much.

[Garnet]

...

[viscousmemories]

Yeah I'm pretty happy about it.

[Chatter]

Good for you, vm.

Are you not dreading the thought of sitting exams again? Or with IT, do you get away mostly with timed practicals and assignments? I take it your professional IT qualifications were mostly assessed by practical?
