Congrats, but is it too late to get your money back? J/K, I've been working in IT for 20 years and I still love it. Every day is different and every day I learn something new. I meet a lot of musicians who work in IT; they seem to be compatible disciplines. I'm a developer, I use Visual Studio 2008, C#, ASP.NET, HTML and XML, and SQL Server 2008.

Best wishes in your continuing education.
I had thought about going back to college. But that is too much work to not get paid for. Perhaps when I get some of my mortgages paid off.

Congrats!!!

Nice going, PG! Best of luck.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the well wishes. I'm super excited, and I figured this would be a great time to go back. My company pays 80% tuition reimbursement as one of my benefits. Also, my daughter is still really young (she's two), so going back now will allow me to be there for her once she's in school, and my wife can attend to her while I'm in school. Plus, they are on the 1st floor of the same building that I work in (I'm on the 3rd floor). Major convenience!! ITT Tech is a great school from what I've read, too.

I've decided to take a break from actively persuing session work until I'm done with school because I feel that attention needs to be focused on schoolwork. I'll still record sessions on a referral basis, assuming that I have the time to between family, work, and now school!

I don't know what most of those abbreviations mean, but I'll be learning soon!

Thanks Jimmy!

the good news: you won't ever have trouble finding a job!
the bad news: brace yourself... cause the real learning curve begins after you graduate.

Yeah, congratualtions pockets. Both of my sisters graduated from ITT back in the '70s and '80s. Time does indeed fly and you will be done soon.
