I have found the variety in this thread to be interesting. Here's my
checkered past ...
B.A. - Art ( Brooklyn College, CUNY)
M.A. - Instructional Technology ( Teachers College, Columbia U)
Certificate in Computer Programming - New College, University of Denver
and various English, environmental science, and computer language courses
along the way as well as some nifty seminars (American Management
Association and William Horton). Actually, more Abnormal Psych would have
come in handy. 8-)
At the last count, this was career #3. ( 1 - advertising, 2 - teaching )
I guess you never know where you're going 'til you get there.
