INFOMATION

education On line

This webpage is about my experiences with different education programs. I want to share some of the challenges I encountered in the traditional classroom setting and the success I achieved through online education. My hope is to encourage others who like me want to achieve goals of personal and professional growth through higher education but have not pursued these because of family, work and other commitments in their lives. Education has increased my self esteem, sharpened my technical and managerial skills and given me greater insight into the role of leadership in government, business and our community. Education has helped me further my career goals. I sincerely hope that you will feel encouraged to achieve yours too.

It's never too late to go back to school

You will be surprised at the large number of adults with full time jobs and families who like me have returned to school through online classrooms and education programs. Many online vocational, technical, undergraduate and graduate level programs are available to you - I am sure some of these will suit your needs. Don't give up on your dreams, hopes and aspirations. Discover what educational options are available to you and press on! Here is a link to an Article Summary I wrote during my MBA program titled adults who do it all. This article addresses the challenges faced by adults with families and careers who return to school to pursue their goals of higher education thanks to online education programs.

Education - builder of self-confidence

I retired from the U.S. Army about ten years ago to face stern competition in private industry. Armed with a Bachelor's degree from University of Maryland, the experience I gained in the field of Information Technology (IT) while in the Army, and a heart full of hope I secured a good job and decent salary. However, I soon learned that in private industry, just as in the service besides hard work and discipline, higher education and technical training are the best means to further one's career. Clearly, education empowers you with knowledge and skills to help you perform better and can ultimately help you command better jobs and higher salaries.

Technical Certifications - build new skills

I believe that in this, our new global economy one must become familiar and maintain some level of proficiency in new emerging technologies. Consider the impact that outsourcing for example has had not just on our economy but on the types of jobs available and those that are not. Some of the jobs we considered "high tech" a few years ago like programming and help-desk support are now being outsourced to other countries. Yes, at the end of the day profit will determine whether a programmer is hired here in the US or whether the work will be exported to another country for substantially less money. Getting certifications from Microsoft, Novell and Cisco gave me a competitive edge over my peers in terms of job assignments and salary.
