  • Thinking of Dropping Out? You’re not alone…

    Far be it from me to ever encourage anyone to forgo getting an education, as it is probably one of the most worthwhile things a human being could ever do.  That being said there are times in life when “dropping out” or dropping a course or quitting a particular program is the right call.  For example in my own academic career ...

  • Going Green

    Today I decided to try something new, taking the train and bus to work.  I’ve never really done it before but thought “hey, if I can work on the train at least that’s a productive use of my transit time as opposed to simply sitting in traffic focusing on driving all the way home".  They’re kind of pushing the ...

  • Does your GPA matter to employers?

    So I’ve been asked if your GPA matters to employers or not.  Well, this is kind of a “yes” and “no” type of question.  Yes in that an employer will often ask if you received any honors in school, etc. or at least make note of any that may be listed on a resume. In some government jobs your GPA will be ...

  • What completing that 1st course means to me

    This is week 10 of my Business Telecommunications course at Bellevue University.  This marks the final week and I’m through, officially 1/12 (8.3%) complete towards my MS degree.  I know it doesn’t sound like much but finishing the 1st course is a huge milestone in earning a degree.  In fact it is the single biggest ...

  • Yet another way school prepares you for the workplace...

    Things at work are starting to get nuts.  I’ve been assigned two big conferences to host, one in September and one in October, the October one due to end just 1 day before my wife is due with our first baby.  That plus school work and don’t forget, when not hosting conferences I have my regular duties and I’m on a ...

  • Bellevue’s group work may have a purpose outside of academia

    Our instructor for our Business Telecommunications class recently remarked about how a culmination of the various graduate group projects may be used to help a small town in Oregon solve a high speed internet availability problem.  See this town started off to offer high speed internet in their community in the hopes that it will drive ...

  • Learn New Skills or Lose Your Job

    Today I briefly spoke with a woman who works in my building whose department is being closed sometime this year.  Everyone at the company is either moving to another department within the company or they are going to be laid off.  The deciding factor on whether or not these people keep their jobs?  Diversity of skill.  If they ...

  • Week 3 Underway: I’ve received my first grades!

    Today I checked my Bruin email and received my first grade report; so far it’s 100% which is encouraging.  I was sweating that 1st paper because frankly, I didn’t do the assignment in the correct format.  For that matter I turned in week 2’s assignment without a title page or abstract which is wrong I found out ...

  • When No Degree = No Job

    In Texas we have a Parole Board who are responsible to reviewing criminal cases of convicted felons to see if they are eligible for supervised early release, running the parole agency, etc.  Recently our “illustrious” governor (note the sarcasm please) decided that a person most qualified to sit on this board would be Shanda ...
