Going back to college after 8 years without opening a study book...

[pocketrockets]

Decided I'm pretty much done with the industry here in CR (for the most part)... I'm getting a cool new gig in 2 weeks but the offshore outlook seems worst and worst every year, certainly not something I will depend on in 10 years.

I'm 29, just signed into the best college here in CR to study Cisco Systems. In 1 year I will be a technician and have enough market to have a job for at least the next 20 years...

What's to expect? Am I getting headaches in between classes?

Cant say the college party life is strange to me, been living that way since high school so thats gonna be another day in the office. Will meet way more poon tang for sure,

Best of luck in furthering your education & bettering yourself...

 

[Enfuego]

It's never too late to educate yourself. Good luck!

 

[RunMaker]

Good call. Btw, if you don't post pictures of some sexi latina classmates in class, we will petition for you to be banned.

 

[Hamilbet]

Just keep in mind, you are choosing an industry that you will constantly have to be learning. In tech, things you learned 3 years ago are almost irrelevant today.

Good Luck Thornton Melon.

That guy called you thorton melon dude.

I don't know for sure if thats an insult but it sounds like it could be. Sounds like something out of a Dr. Seuss book dude.

I went ahead and Googled thorton melon to try and find out what it means, save you some leg work but theres not much on the term thorton melon on the internet just says that was some guy who while in Namibia on Safari in 1902 discovered a sweetfruit previously unknown to the western world but which we now know as The Melon but his name was thornley melon which Google asked me if thats what I meant when I tried to search for thorton melon dude.

A lot of the material I learned studying for my computer degree is outdated today. But you really need that base to start off with. Just make sure you really enjoy your chosen profession. Good luck PR. You can do this!!

 

[pocketrockets]

Thanks for the support fellas... there's a point in life when you realize there's another path to be taken

 

[Willie99]

good luck

one thing life as taught me while living vicariously through hundreds of families, when one door closes another door opens

my own life included

and it's been 35 years since I opened a textbook, damn

 

[boss415]

Hit class every day and dont skip! Sit in front so the teachers get to know you. Repeat hit class every day !
Good luck and good call !

 

[Recon792]

All the best with school pocket

 

[pocketrockets]

Thank you nice people... I really hope I can do this, obviously being away of class so long brings up some insecurities but there's no time to back down anymore... the age thing just keeps lingering

I really hope you are joking, If not I weep for the future.

Weep for the incompetence of Google. Don't know what a thorton melon is.

What is it?

Release The Cat from the bag My Brother.

Hey PR I also want to wish you good luck. It's a smart decision that you're headed back with a specific career goal in mind. It's not like you're an 18 year old who can afford to "study the humanites and become more well-rounded" while getting your literature or sociology degree before moving back into your old bedroom in your parent's house

*Women....



....unfortunately PR needs to be told this...

 

[MikeB]

Just funnin with you of course.

BOL sir

 

[pocketrockets]

[KingEleven]

PR, excuse my ignorance, but as you know I am fairly new (less than 2 months) here in RX land. What is it you do now in the industry in CR?
