I can't see because I already voted but is the poll still open after so long ?

It should be what you have an asterisk next too. As I said when I posted, I have an MBA. I work in my MBA field and I adjunct teach in my MBA field. I'm just in the process of upping my skills as far as Microsoft Office skills like Excel and Access, to be certified. I don't know if I will need them going forward but stuff like this never hurts and I love to continue to learn.

I wish I could have been a doctor, but the sight of blood is something I can't stomach. I won't front, I'm a bytch with that. :to: I used to work in finance for Fresenius Medical Care and I walked into one for the first time, I damn near fainted. No lie. That said, my MBA is in healthcare management so I'll still get to the top of the healthcare world bypassing that gory shyt. :myman::jawalrus:

Trying to get started on a Masters this fall or early next year. It will be my last degree. I have a great career and my own ventures so it isn't a priority right now but it helps with promotions, and I would like to teach one day.

I don't want to create another thread so hopefully, this will fit in here. Where you work, are there people aware or at the very least, suspicious of your goals of upward mobility? At my previous job, people started coming to me, asking when I was going to leave because they could see that I was getting bored/work becoming too easy. This was over a year before I even left. At the job that I have now, during my interview, my now supervisor told me that she really only expected me to be here for a few years before I bolted. That was shocking to me and scared the shyt out of me because it made me think that I wasn't going to get the job. Maybe she can just see potential when it is present. As far as what I do, I just soak up as much knowledge as much as I can. I've largely mapped out where I want to go as far as career and I have the experience and education to get there. I think others see what I see too. Just curious about others.

Currently, have 15 college credits pursuing associates degree in criminal justice. Nothing brag about. But sadly I'm the first one to go to college in my family.:blessed::manny:


Clap for him.

You have to start somewhere. My auntie was the first to get a degree in my family. I am the first to get a masters in my family. Thing is, my kids know, there isn't anything you can tell me about something being hard in school. I don't sympathize with your bullshyt. My degrees is what supports all of this, trips to Florida and all the extra shyt that they really don't need, the hard work, the time dedicated to studies, to looking for jobs, to preparing for interviews, all goes back to what those degrees allow me to do. That said

Props to you.

LOL. I teach as an adjunct instructor for a university so that is where a lot of that comes from. I love seeing people go back to school to try to make something better of themselves. A degree isn't a guarantee of future prosperity but no one is holding a gun to your head to go to college. I tell my students, what I teach, though beneficial, really means little in the grand scheme of things. What a degree ultimately signifies to an interviewer is that you decided to sign up for a long term project that is a long and solitary road and it is something that you can start and finish. That degree just gets you to the door though, you have to ultimately sell yourself. What you do on that long road, provided you were taking care of business, will allow anyone to put their best foot forward so that when they leave the interview, they don't leave with regrets.

I can't see because I already voted but is the poll still open after so long ?

It should stay open indefinitely, when I created the thread I didn't set any expiration date for the poll.

Went to edit and double checked it, and yeah, it should still be open. BTW it's a public poll so everybody should be able to see who voted which way.
