When I started my University Odyssey, it was at San Jose State University as a Comp-Sci major. I did not ever finish though and ended up working full-time at Sony.
Sometime during my career at Sony, I figured out that I should probably finish up a degree of some sort. I signed up for classes at University of Phoenix (Online) because Sony was going to flip the bill for me — and doing it online was better for my schedule because I was travelling so heavily. And it really helped when Jacob was born as I could do my homework at night after the little monster went to sleep.
It took 3.5 years to finish my program (I had quite a few “pauses” during my degree program). Tonight, I finished up my final group project and posted my last messages. I am finally done with the program (Bachelor of Science in Information Technology). Soon, after I get the grade for my final class, I will register for graduation and get my paper degree. I will be certified “edumacated” (or as the wife likes to say, “gradumacated”).
Now what? What does it mean? I gots me a piece of paper.

As a UOP graduate and now doctoral student, I send my congratulations on being graduated. It feels good to hit post at the very end. Relish your new degree, the new opportunities it brings, and the freedom of being done for a while.

well KUDOS !!!
I’ve been quite “away” from the web in those last months for my wedding and the builing of our new house but whenever a “fellow” accomplishes a goal in life I can’t be nothing else than happy for him!
does the “piece of paper” took you an extra amount of luck ? I really do hope so!
and congrats again !!!
