At the rate that business is coming in for me right now, I’m confident that by July I’ll finally be able to enroll into Penn Foster because I’ll have everything I need for the first semester. Part of me wonders if I should hold off until September so I can treat it like a regular school year or if I should work diligently through the summer so I can get things cranked out faster, at the rate of my impatience I’m confident that I’m going to do the latter.
Up until recently I was unsure of which program I wanted to take first. I’m going for two degrees, the first being Multimedia & Design, the other being Web Programming. As of right now I have more of a career with the visual aspect of things than I do with the programming side. I’m not even programming the new site I’m working on, I talked Baby into that one. He’s quicker with things than I am so I figured it would be the best thing to do, he’s also in school for it so he’s got the resources on hand if something comes up.
I’m sure that it would make more sense to just continue with what I’ve been doing but companies won’t look at you unless you have a degree to back up your portfolio (at least the ones I’ve applied to seem to work that way) so getting my degree in the more prominent field is obviously important to me. I guess I’m going to choose the Multimedia option after all – go figure, a random (and probably useless) blog entry can figure everything out.
There are some serious upsides to taking the multimedia course first – I’ve spent years wanting to learn flash and never sat down and did it. The cool thing to this course is I now have no choice but to learn it so hopefully I can start taking on more jobs considering I have to turn down or outsource any job that requires flash work for me at the moment – I hate that feeling. But with more money coming in it means more resources for me and I’ll also be able to get my hands on the Mac that I’ve been anticipating for a few years now as well.
: sigh : maybe if I got my ass in gear instead of sitting back and dreaming, this shit would happen faster…heh.
