As I said in an earlier post I'm going to school full time.  I have been working in telecom since I was 20 in 1992.  The only other thing I have ever done was working in a restaraunt as a waiter or toy's r us.  My kids would love it if I was to go back and work at a toy store but we would probably end up living in a van down by the river.  The problem is I'm really burnt out in my job, and with the way telecom has been the past few years theres not a lot of security.  Also I no longer see much of a challenge in it.  I'm trying to get a business degree and a computer science degree.  I wanted something I could fall back on and was generic which covers the business but I also wanted to do something I have an interest in which covers the Computer Science.  The classes I'm currently taking are:  Intro to Multimedia,  Systems Analysis and Design,  Web Programming,  and Intro to Databases.  I'm hoping I'll be finished in about 2-3 years.  I don't plan on going full time until then.  The reason I'm going full time right now is that my company pays the tuition and I also get $1300 a month from VA while I'm a full time student.  That extra money is nice.
