Graduating!

the_Grinch

Welp, after four years I was offically allowed to apply for graduation. In 12 weeks (after a math, science, network security, and system analysis classes) I will be the proud owner of a BS in Computing and Security Technology. Just posting to let those who are working towards a degree that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I have the added bonus of being only the third person to graduate with the security degree (new program added the security side of computing) from my school. Yay me!

congrats, i know the feeling...it feels like a weight is lifted off your shoulders...

only to get put right back on, once you graduate and start look for a job, or start workin and paying bills. paying back loans, if you have them, is the worst...

Awesome! Congratulations!

Hopefully I'll be able to wrap up my BA within a year. It will be such a load off my mind. What's next?

Congrats

Guess we won't be seeing you much since you'll be getting that million dollar a year job

I'm hoping to have my BS in 3 years.

Ha million dollars a year....dare to dream I guess! Got loans to pay off so looking for a job is high on the list (feelers are out there and I've made some good contacts through Professors at my college). My goal now is to get CCENT, CCNA, CCNA:Security, and hopefully be approved to take the CEH exam. Finalizing some information to send into the EC-Council so we'll see how that pans out hopefully within a month! Also looking into graduate school, but going to see if I can find a company who will pick up the bill for that!

I was out of school for 6 months and I wanted to go back actually, was kinda weird when I wasn't. Hence why I'm back in grad school now

btw congrats!!!

Congrats!! That is an amazing feeling and quite an accomplishment.

At a time when taxpayers must find ways to invest in themselves, a degree is an excellent thing to achieve for one's own future earning power.

Congratz!

Cool. Do you mind if I ask what school you went to?
