Horoscopes For Today: 7/12/2006
Remember that you have one of the best guts around \(in terms of instinct, that is!\). So this recent bout of self-doubt is completely unwarranted and unnecessary. Today you need to trust yourself! This day offers you a big opportunity to try out your new optimistic self-assurance -- and the best part of it is that it will be fun and completely risk-free. Consider it training wheels for a healthier ego. Your ability to see the future will grow stronger once you start listening to yourself again.
I wanted to comment on this but it is so rank in my office that I can't concentrate. Someone must have slaughtered a skunk right here inside the office. I poured a ton of nice smelling lotion on my hands and have sat here for 20 minutes sniffing them just so I don't have to smell the skunk. To change things up I sniffed Sonia's hands for a few minutes since she uses a different scent of lotion than I do.
Anyway...
Self-doubt. Terrible thing. I know. I'm working on it. There is some light at the end of the tunnel. I was randomly websurfing yesterday and stumbled upon a 'new' degree that is being offered out of Utica College. (Yes, I know it's in NY.) Apparently they now offer a "Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity - Cybercrime Investigations and Forensics" which is exactly what I was going to school for before except there wasn't a specific program for it and therefore I had no direction and it was all guess work. I figured if I just concentrated on CIS and Criminal Justice that it would all be kosher. This makes it easier and more official. A major benefit here, if anyone thought I was considering moving to Utica, is that due to the technical nature of the coursework, they offer the entire degree online. I would probably at least visit the campus, but I wouldn't have to leave the comfort of my home for this. Problem is, of course, that you can't be considered for the program unless you already have an AA or 57 units. I don't think I'm quite at 57 (maybe, who knows) and I clearly never finished my AA.
Which leaves me trying to figure out options for finishing up my AA. There is no feasible way for me to return to SCC and actually complete that stupid degree. The classes I need are not available during times I am available and taking one class every semester as I have been doing will put me at graduation sometime in my middle 40's. So...I started researching further online degrees. I really don't want the stigma that comes with a generic online degree, but if it gets me in the door to where I want to go...maybe since, again, its a technical degree, not something that you need face-to-face education, it won't make as much of a difference.
Another consideration is...if I completed my AA with an emphasis in programming I would leave with a marketable skill regardless of whether or not I made it all the way through to a BA.
Who knows. I think I have too much time on my hands.

I'd say you'd be marketable if you went either route, afterall, it's really where your degree comes from today (when it comes to jobs for middleclass people) it's how well you can market yourself...i suck at it so I haven't found a job...hopefully you'll do better :)
Well, you marketed yourself to me quite nicely. Must have been the beard and flowing robes -- turns me on everytime.
you just like the whole water-into-wine thing. my marketing skills worked well during those roman days, doesn't work so well today, all i get are redneck followers.
My neck is red only because...uh...it itched and I scratched it and so...you know, it turned red.
