Back to school

so, i decided not to keep going to school - at least for the time being. Maybe in a few years I'll try an MBA program. Right now, I'm just interested in getting out of debt, and building up something for the ominous rainy day.

as my luck would have it, as soon as I started my new job, guess what? that's right...they want me to pull some certifications: go back to school. so the kicker is, for the first cert I get, I have to teach it all to myself....self study isn't too bad, if you want to do it, but when I have to for work, but I don't get paid for my personal time I put into it...kinda hard to keep motivated. but I'm more than 1/2 way there. I should be ready to take the exam by the end of May.

then I'll be a NICET 2 in Fire Alarms. ye-haw.

so right now I'm teaching myself trig, and algebra, along with NFPA Codes and IBC 2006 Regs for FA systems. if all this is about to put you to sleep, join the club.

on top of all that, I have to get certified by the DHS to work with the Critical Infrastructure Industry - oil / gas refineries, transportation, etc.

all I have to say is that I'm glad its not all coming out of my pocketbook.

good night to all.
