Well guess you can tell I'm not a handy blogger. It's been a while since I accessed my own Blog. SOS. Station continues to struggle. I continue to teach. I'm hoping that RMC gets the communication major, it seem that I will get to teach Intercultural if they do.
I finished my capstone project this past summer. Now I am completing the one course left for the MDE. Think I'll be bored when its finished. I will be well trained and without a job to practice my new skills. Old guys don't get jobs so I need to find a way to appear to be 27 years old.

Holiday
This is such a nutsy time of year. I finished up one class at SU today and the last one will end tomorrow. The U of R class starts in January and I have a really good sized group to take it. Of course the holidays are here and all the confusion that goes with them. We're going to see Jenn in Delaware this weekend, that will be fun.
Sales at the radio station are going ok, not great, but ok. We are beginning in earnest to build the new facility. It MUST be done by May if its going to be done at all. Lots of money going into this project so we hope we can get that money out of it one of these days. I really think we'll have the best AM signal in the Richmond market when we finish. Happy Holidays to all.

Ending one, starting another
Wow, what a relief, I have finished writing the final paper for Distance Education, Development, and Globalization. I had to write about Teacher Training in Sub-Saharan Africa. I lived with the topic for several weeks but I did not live the project. To do that I'd actually need to be there, and after studying the topic, I'd like to do that. Anyway, I have to take one course this spring, then the capstone in the summer and finish up with one more course in the fall. I'll finish in 2010!
But it raises an interesting question. Why would an old guy like me get another college degree? I keep thinking that it will enhance my chances of getting a job, but I have no delusions. The fact is that regardless of education, experience, or skills that may have been developed, age is the overriding trump card. Old guys don't get jobs. I know, it's illegal but tell that to people who hire. So the answer is personal one. I want the degree to tell myself that can do it, to achieve that peak of Maslow's triangle, and, yes, to know that when I get passed over I can smuggly say "They'll be sorry they hired that young twit."
