I'm working full time (I did the 10 credits one semester while I was part time) and planning on Grad school next year. I've noticed a trend among my friends of a similar age. We all have had various careers but it's only in the last 5 years, or so, that we've all really focused in on what we want to do "for the rest of our career". It's hard to keep up sometimes but my motivation and ability to learn has actually imprvoed since my first time through college.

Thats not to say I dont keep learning and studying!! PHP, MS Access (possible the worst program ever created in the whole wide world), Java, CSS, HTML, etc. I think the fun in life is learning something new and not being stagnant. Keep up the work Todd it will be over before you know it. <span class="mt-export2wp"></span> ET IPTVshows.org Almostageek.com I decided against going back to get my masters at the age of 35 because i didnt see it paying off in the long run.

I'm 33 and work in the sports television industry. By going during intersessions (a week in March) and summers I can finish by Summer '08 and still keep my gig working 70-80 NHL telecasts each winter. By the way, I live in LA and drove out to UM and back. This summer I completed 18 credits (45 to go) at University of Miami’s Summer Session. I’m 33 and work in the sports television industry.
