Muse Concert
I am going to the Muse concert tonight at the United Center! I’m taking Kate with me and a bunch of Purdue people will be there which will be awesome. I’m hoping to find someone to use and or scalp my extra ticket to. This is the first time I’ve had an extra ticket and have not been able to get someone to take it. Oh well.
Hopefully if the lighting is decent I will post some photos later.
Graduate School or Practical Experience
I have recently found a Mentor. I asked him, “What graduate program or degree would you recommend I earn to fast track my career?” He replied with education is important but experience is equally valuable. (not an exact quote) He walked me through is life from high school on to his current position. His perspective on life is one I normally do not hear. That could be because I’ve spent the past 16 years in the academic environment. Regardless the point made was there is no need to have a master if you have valuable experience. So many people are graduating with high level degrees but zero experience. Would you rather someone be on your football team that knows every rule of the game like the back of his/her hand or would you prefer someone that has played in and practiced for a 100 games? Experience and degrees are both valuable… the important part is how you earn them. If you just sit back and ride the wave of life… not engaging in the learning or work process both are devalued.
