For the past 6 months I have been working on quantitative courses and not really so much on anything research or qualitative. Even though I was required to write final projects the information was largely presented in equations, formulas and numerical answers with brief to thorough explanations. There really wasn’t a whole lot of ...

“Where do you find the time?” “You must really like working a lot.” “You must be a (book worm or nerd or Einstein or driven or a workaholic or any number of assumptions people like to make about someone they barely know anything about other than they are different). These three quotes above are ...

I was reading a newspaper article this weekend about the Texas Virtual Academy, a charter school which is entirely online where kids K-12 can earn their diploma from home, or at least advance to the next grade. Upon reading this I learned that for a student to attend a brick and mortar public school costs $8,700 per student per year. ...

I read an interesting interview of an executive recruiter over the value of the MBA. I recommend you read it as well, but in a nutshell, the MBA has real value. It has the most value in investment banking, consulting work and finance but can be a cross industry asset as well. The MBA is being more sought after by being ...

This week in Managerial Finance we looked at investing. By the nature of investing there is an
element of risk. Risk is the price of
opportunity for profit. I’ve always
considered getting an education to be an investment, albeit one in which the
returns are often not readily quantifiable but an investment ...

I submitted my assignment and completed my discussion questions ending week 3 of Managerial Finance. I have to tell you folks, this was one of the roughest weeks I’ve experienced since beginning my MBA program. I knew there would be weeks like this and I thought I had prepared myself mentally for it before even starting the ...

Okay I know it seems strange for a guy who is all about distance education to write about the negative aspects of learning online, but for the sake of fairness sometimes it is necessary to look at the bad side of learning as well as the good. After all it is important to make a well-informed decision when considering going back to ...

Normally I will finish my written assignment on Saturday night after working on it for a while throughout the week. Well unfortunately, I have been a little more pressed for time than normal and I still need to submit the assignment by Monday. Given that tomorrow is the “big game” (note the term super-duper-bowl is ...

The Financial Times, in the United Kingdom have a very interesting article published a couple days ago on survey results from MBA students. These students graduated in 2004 and the survey attempts to see their progress after 3 years, posting results for 2008. Again further proof that an MBA pays in the long run, though perhaps not ...

Almost anyone in business can tell you, the world of business is becoming increasingly global. I’ve made no bones in the past about how important an MBA can be for ones future prospects at getting ahead. Though I am still debating as to whether this is because of the skills you learned due to your MBA studies or the sheer fact ...

This really seems more of a niche audience type of blog post, so if you’re reading this, you either like the way I write, are related to me or are really into music and education. As you may have surmised from the title, I’m attempting to appeal to the latter audience.
I’ve written in the past that I love to play guitar. In ...

A coworker of mine overheard me talking about the expense of graduate school. After all, I did just prepay the balance of my tuition to Ashford. He kind of in a joking way stated, “all of that money and time gone and you’re in the same job as me probably making the same money and I don’t even have a degree.”
Now he did ...

I have many questions about attending an online university. The biggest one is how do employers look at these degrees. My understanding from the HR people I've talked to in my wifes company is that they don't hold alot of regard for online degrees yet. They do believe that they will be alot more accepted in the future but as for now they ...

Now that I'm back in college, I realize on a daily basis that I don't know many words that I read or hear, and that slows me down.
I also would much rather build my vocabulary with the right system than keep on feeling stupid and making silly spelling mistakes, while guessing my way around this super-confusing language. In ...
