Kyle Johnson Where I talk about anything

Back to School

After a few years out of school, I will finally be going back. My current goal is to only spend one semester at Ivy Tech, and then transferring to either IUPUI in downtown Indianapolis, or Butler University, which is also in downtown Indianapolis. While being out of school I have done nothing but work full time and have come to the realization that without some college education, there’s not much that I am qualified to do career wise. Every employer would rather have an applicant with a college degree than someone who has only a high school diploma and absolutely no experience in the field. So, it is my job to make sure that I am the applicant they want to hire.

For the spring 2010 semester I am going to take two classes, Math 050 and Introduction to Psychology. Both will be online classes so I can still attend a police academy if I get to that point with a department. I wanted to ensure that I’m not forced to have to choose one or the either, and that both can be achieved.

I was originally scheduled to take three courses this semester, with the other being English Composition 111 but opted to drop from that course because it wasn’t available online, and evening courses won’t work with the potential for a police academy. The good thing though is I will be able to take it another semester as it wasn’t required for this one. The only required course was Math 050 and that was because it won’t be offered at Ivy Tech after this semester and I needed to take it to advance to a higher math course.

Only thing left to do is actually pay for the courses and course materials and be able to get myself to do the necessary work without having to go into any class rooms. Payment is due tomorrow and then I can buy the books as well tomorrow, but courses don’t start until March for these two. They’re only two months long so a lot of material crammed into such a short time period.

All I can say, is I can do it! I will do it!
