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 ...

Greetings from Kansas City. Tonight I am sitting in a hotel room in Kansas City trying to knock out some work before another meeting tomorrow. Ever wonder what life looks like after an MBA? Well I seem to be living it. Ironically enough all the same things that I had to do as an MBA student I am now doing as an MBA ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Today I did my discussion question, replied to three discussion posts and finished my written assignment. Now all that’s left to do is sometime tomorrow I have to work some more on my group project (though I will not write the entire work myself this time). So all in all I got an insurmountable amount of work done very ...

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 ...

I don’t know why it hasn’t occurred to me to blog over this before, but I run into people almost daily at work, or church, or hear from them in email or occasionally discussion forums where they are going to school with really no direction, or majoring in something they are thinking about changing or know they need to go to school but ...

Hey guys and gals. I’ve had a reader suggest that I start to Twitter in addition to this blog. Hey, I’m here to please. I’ve registered my account and you can follow me in my daily activities as they relate to online education here http://twitter.com/elearnercajun. Now of course this doesn’t replace ...

Well the group project deliverable #1 went exactly as I predicted. Basically I tried every method of communication available. Basically 2 out of the 3 other participants agreed to the time line I proposed, I was volunteered to write the paper (imagine that) so I did and posted it for review by 10 AM Saturday. The assignment was ...

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 ...

I’ve posted in the past that I was apprehensive about group work in this class primarily because my previous experiences in group work have not gone so well. What usually ends up happening is either I, or someone else in the group ends up doing 80% to 90% of the work and on occasion, even 100%. Usually someone takes the lead, ...

It’s been a while since I’ve had a reader question but I did get a reader comment recently that he’s going back to school and is so nervous, sounds like a topic to me. It’s perfectly understandable that someone would be nervous about going back to school and no, being nervous is not, I repeat, not an indicator that ...

Update on my Bellevue progress, I am now working on Week #5, which puts me at the official ½ way point for this course. I have a group project I’ve been assigned to (I’m on the purple team) and we have our first deliverable next week. So far nobody has stepped up to contact the other group members and take on a lead ...

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 ...

Sometimes it can be so hard to get motivated to do something that seems so mountainous that you just don’t know where to start, I know, I’ve been there. In fact I’m there right now, thus this blog post. I have so much work due right now at my job its silly, in fact I don’t really even know where to start and ...

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 ...

Today on my way to work I was listening to AM talk radio, yeah I’m one of those people (sometimes). Anyhow a less than, shall we say “enlightened” caller calls in to the talk show complaining about how every time a major business goes belly up the CEOs walk and the little guy loses his meager paycheck. Fair enough, ...
