No it was a 4 year program but I changed my major my senior year from geology to business. Finished 4 1/2 years.


What are you majoring in? Sometimes it benefits you to work in your field first.

I'm majoring in Management Information Systems, so more of the business side of computers.... IT work and such

I recommend working in your field first, because you will need to apply your experience to the program. Some schools will require you to have 5 years experience before you can get accept.

Good luck!!!!

I have a couple of internships potentially lined up, so I'll be getting some experience in the field, also our classes are known to be some of the most hands-on classes in the Midwest so that helps also.

And thanks!

It's nice, but if you fall behind, things get pretty rough. I'm more of a hands on learner though, so I may have a couple of biases hah

Hope to get back to school one day, but I think I will have a family instead.

That's one reason I'm happy I'm getting into school right away, start a family with my girlfriend and not have to worry about school later

Yeah that would be a plus. I am getting old and my guy and I want to start a family, so school is on the back burner for now.


Good for you realizing what you need to do now. I say after talking to you that you should keep on going. You seem to be on a good roll.

Old Fart! haha

Thanks!

Some school is better than no school these days, I get the feeling that most people on this site have gone to school and done well for themselves, which includes buying a sweet Camaro!

I guess it is hit or missed. I feel like my degree did nothing for me. :( I just got sucked into a crappy company.

Do you not own a Camaro?

What company are you at? It is really hit or miss with the economy right now, but if it gets better opportunities will really open up!

I don't.... YET. I have my 2004 Monte Carlo, not sure if I want to get rid of it yet, but I probably will. I'm going to get a Camaro after I graduate, sometime soon after hopefully
