The Cost Of Education

After jumping through a few hoops, it looks like I've been accepted to the Computer Information Systems Network Specialist Associates Degree Program at Fox Vally Technical College. I'm basing this statement on the fact that the college sent me a $950 bill for the classes in which I've enrolled. Oh, well. Easy come, easy go. I'm hoping the VA Education Assistance advance makes it here before April 20 when I have to pay for classes, but I'm not holding my breath. Few people know the frustration of navigating the maze of military benefits. The tuition and cost of books will lighten my wallet considerably, but most of the jobs I've applied for require some sort of degree and work experience.

News you can lose

Jeez, I know this stuff. I redirected my Road Runner home page to No-IP using their service. So, the URL listed on my resume is now correct. I slapped myself on the forehead this morning and said, "Oh, yeah," after remembering this bit of information out of the blue. It's strange what your brain is working on in the background while you're thinking of other things. It really is an amazing piece of machinery.
