Rampidbyter Rampid byter: A byte of my .Net developing life.

Anxiety is growing over the upcoming beginning of graduate school. I remember when I first started the bachelors degree about three and a half years ago and how nervous I was. I’m getting that whole nervous feeling all over again except this time I’m getting it mixed with feelings of not wanting to go back. I suppose it’s good in a way that I’m going back because if the feeling is this strong only eight months after graduating, then I can only imagine what it would be like after waiting five years like everyone keeps telling me. Even at work some of the managers warning me against going were saying they too wish they could go back, but don’t seem to have the time.

The problem is I’m taking this program and I’m not really sure whether this is what I want to do. I suppose the discipline that I’m taking gets me geared up for management, but I want to learn how and why electronics work. I have a robot kit that I’ve been playing with, books on embedded programming, and I’ve been in a constant state of study of programming languages. However, I’m going to school to learn business concepts such as economics, finance, and enterprise level information systems. There are 22 classes required for the degree, and while they seem to be informative I just am not interested. I think I’ll give graduate school a chance as I may come around. I hate to start something and not finish it. I started two degrees and carried each through, but this one may be the exception. Time will tell.
