Graduation
May0
Well I finally finished my first post secondary endeavor. This last semester I took my last class in the evenings and it was likely the easiest class I took in the last couple years. It feels good to be done.
I started off in Computer Science back in 2005 which feels like the just the other day. Where the heck did the last four years go?? Anyways I did one year of comp sci before transitioning over to Computer Systems Technology at NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology). At NAIT my education was greatly different from University as I spent a lot more time learning skills rather than solving math equations and writing essays.
Yeah, school here in Edmonton was a much better experience than going to high school in rural Alberta. Better choices and I actually felt somewhat motivated to learn. High school really made me feel like I was participating in a pointless ritual to pass the time between learning my abc’s and joining the workforce. For a world so full of information we need a more streamlined path for cramming it into our collective minds. Obviously we can’t learn everything but we need freedom to specialize early on so that we don’t waste valuable time when we are at our intellectual prime.
That is just my thoughts.
