Why Do I Bother?

college

I have taken the first step. Yesterday I sent in my application and fees to Western Governors University. I plan to achieve an [tag]IT[/tag] [tag]degree[/tag] in either [tag]Network Administration[/tag] or [tag]Network Design[/tag] and Management. Both degrees interest me, but the latter is probably going to be my final choice. It will be a difficult program, but will reward me with the skills I need to land a higher paying [tag]job[/tag], as much as double my current salary or more.

I chose [tag]Western Governors University[/tag] because it is entirely [tag]online[/tag] which will allow me to continue to work my current job while I [tag]study[/tag]. It is a [tag]competency[/tag] based program which allows me to study at a faster pace if I am able and pass competencies to gain [tag]credit[/tag]. The school is regionaly [tag]accredited[/tag] by the same commissions that accredit the U of O, U of W, etc… I should be able to complete my degree in 2 to 2 1/2 years.

I will let you know as soon as I hear back from them, but I’m sure there won’t be a problem. Wish me luck.
