I got a big decision to make. - Bill - 06-22-2006

Mrs Bill has been pushing me to go back to collage for a few years now, since I kinda dropped out when I got divorced and moved to amish country. I've done some checking around only to find out all my credits are no good anymore. Something about cracking down on career students? Anyhow. Drexel in Phili has a night program for folks to get their degree in Architecture, which I would have to have to get a licence. It's 7 fucking years of night school though. That's a long fucking time. I'd still have to pass a state licencing test. Some courses I could test out of since I've been doing this shit for 13 years now. I mean I probly don't need intro to Cadd. But is it worth it? 2 hours a day on a fucking train. (the school is cross the street from the station) I'd still be workin a 40 hour week on top of it. only plus side is I said something in passing about it to the bossman and he practically fell all over himself and said if I went through with it I would pretty much be given this place when he was ready to split. I'm not even sure why I'm telling you folks this cept it's been dominating my thoughts for a few days now.

How much time will be taken away from your wife/children? One night a week, three or four? That's important. We don't need the little woman happily giving b/j's to the mailman cause she's lonely and the kids getting on crack cause they don't know their daddy.

This sounds like her idea and not yours. Let her go to architectural school.

3 to 4 nights a week.
I don't get home till 6:30 as it is now and only get to see my kids maybe 2 hours a night. Friday afternoon and the weekends are when I get to hang out with them.

Bill, I deal with this all the time from some of my family members. I have about 30 units left to complete my degree, and I don't need it for what I do. I have set it as a personal goal of mine to finish it, but on my time. Don't do it for anyone else. Do it for yourself, otherwise it will mean nothing.

Funny you should say that.

I wanted to be an architect since I was....damn...13 years old? I was set up real pretty to become one untill my first marriage fell apart and I went insane. Then I drank alot. Met the current Mrs bill and started raising kids.....I guess I've been just settling for working in a related field for about 8 years now. Now that Mrs Bill is backing me I kinda want to go for it. but shit I'm about to turn 31. I'm not kid anymore.

are you able to back off work to finish faster? I did night school for my masters, and it sucks dude. and that was before I had a kid and without a 2 hour train ride. if the boss is that excited, get him to let you flex your hours and get him to pay tuition

Well, I'd be able to flex my hours, but it's not gonna do me any good. these architectural programs are kinda weird. there are only two night school programs for it in the entire country. Drexel being one of the 2. My only saving grace is I'd be able to test out of maybe half of my core classes and maybe even my thesis since I've worked in the field under the direct supervision of a principal architect. That alone goes along way. cause in bigger companies they might have 40 licenced architects but they know jack on running the business end of things cept what they learned in school. as for paying for tuition. Not gonna happen.
