We decided about 6 months ago that I should go back to school to pick up a Masters of Business Administration. The theory: more education = more money. The 3-semester program starts in the Fall, however, in order to qualify for the program there are a number of prerequisites that I needed to complete.<\/p>\n
There were more prerequisites than there was time available. Fortunately, Utah State University offers what they call the ABC, or the “Accelerated Business Core.” This amounts to a grueling 12-week fiasco where I can earn 13.5 credits. Classes run from either 8-12 or 1-5, roughly 10 business days each, staggered. I have never been to a 4 hour class, and so am rightfully nervous — especially since I need to simultaneously fulfill my work obligations, e.g., 40 hours. DuPont was kind and promised me that so long as I still get my hours in (days, nights, or weekends), they would allow me to leave for class time.<\/p>\n
Tina will be basically without a husband for the next 12 weeks as I come and go trying to fulfill my 3 obligations: provide for my family, pass these courses, sleep.<\/p>\n
We’ll just take the next 3 months 1 day at a time.<\/p>\n
Class starts today. Wish me luck.<\/p>\n
