Why Are You On The Road To College?

Posted on May 3, 2008 - Filed Under Education, Fatherhood | Leave a Comment

EDIT: This was originally posted Friday morning, but my wonderful blog web hosting company deleted my blog Friday night and took more than 12 hours to restore it from their backups, so this post (and possibly others that I don’t recall now) were missing.

graduation Couldn’t sleep this morning, so I was stumbling around some and came across a post by Karlana titled high school education = graduation = college education … It all leads to somewhere! It starts out well enough-

East Coast College Contemplation Leads To Boston Sightseeing

Posted on April 11, 2008 - Filed Under Travel | Leave a Comment

Last night Z and I found ourselves discussing our futures. As many of you know, once she turns 18 I’m moving to New Hampshire in order to live amongst liberty lovers and avoid as much government interference in my life as possible. Montana was another option for me to attain that same goal and Z quickly piped up saying that would be much closer to her. Of course, the whole point of waiting until she’s 18 is because then she’ll…

Kettering Isn’t Your Parent’s University

On Saturday I took Z to an open house at the local private school I’m hoping to send her to for high school. As a result we started talking once again about college (it’s a college prep school). I used to be adamant about the needs for a college education, but as I’ve wizened my opinion has changed. I now believe that most people would be better served taking the tens (or hundreds) of thousands of dollars spent on a…

Part of the Applied Anarchy Series - Previous in series         

Okay, so it’s kind of late for this, but it’s still 12/21 here in California and I’ve had a crazy kind of day. It’s amazing I’ve got any work done at all. If anarchists were immortal, Peter Alekseevich Kropotkin would be 165 years old today. I’ve always been open with y’all that I haven’t read much of the historical work on anarchy, but Kropotkin I’m somewhat familiar with.…

Don’t Think Online Universities Grant Real Degrees? Think Again!

Posted on December 19, 2007 - Filed Under Education | Leave a Comment

I’ve written here a few times about the possibility of earning a college degree online. Every time I get comments and/or emails from people telling me that no one has any respect for online universities, so they’re a waste of time and money. Well, tell that to Teresa Chaulk. She was recently named superintendent of Lincoln County School District Number One in Kemmerer, Wyoming and earned her PhD through the online degree program at Capella University (which I wrote about just…

Ready To Get Out Of The IT Rat Race?

Posted on December 18, 2007 - Filed Under Education | Leave a Comment

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics three of the fastest growing occupations in America are network systems and data communications analysts, computer software engineers, and computer systems analysts, all of which generally require a bachelor’s degree (at least). Living in Silicon Valley I know dozens of folx with these skills and these degrees who are getting burned out on their jobs, but feel trapped due to the expertise and connections they’ve developed over the years. Well, capella university may…
