This week wasn’t all that bad. The assignment was only a 3 page essay,
excluding references of course, which was very nice of the instructor as our
final assignment is due next week and most of us have already started on it. As you may have guessed it is slightly more
than a 3 page essay. The class has gone
very well for me except for that first week’s assignment where I didn’t do to
well. I’ve started to get back into the
swing of writing research papers which in all honesty is something you have to
either use or lose. Just one of my
reasons for completing a second master’s degree right after this one should
time and finances permit it. Of course
it would also help to know what I wanted to major in as well now wouldn’t it?
Work life has gotten interesting of late. There are some rumors of a hiring freeze in
the future, which often is an indicator of a staff cut back in the future. Personally I’m not too worried; I don’t plan
on being there long after I complete my MBA.
I’ve been poking around at other jobs with an application here and there
but I haven’t been too serious about it due to having serious concerns about
selling myself short. See if I get a job
now, just 6 months prior to completing my MBA I will have received the job
without being as marketable as I would be with the MBA. Thus I may not get the salary I would have
otherwise been offered. There’s no
promise that the MBA will make me more marketable but I’m holding out for
hope.
I still need to register for the LSU Certificate in
Accounting. That is still my weak spot
and an area that regardless whether I work in accounting or not, I need to be
more familiar with than I am now. After
all, isn’t accounting the “language of business”?
