Congrats! It must be an awesome feeling.

If all goes as planned I should finish at Excelsior at the end of this semester. I can't wait!

G’day everyone,

Thanks for the congratulations. It does feel good to be finished.

hope to see you drop by now and then!

I intend hanging around. I am a firm believer of lifelong learning and while I haven’t made any plans as of yet, I feel that this forum would be a good place for ideas, motivation and to share my progress regardless of what learning path I decide on in the future. Besides, I may be able to help others as I was helped during my time here.

What's next for you? Are you going to continue on or immediately put the degree to work for you?

I haven’t really made any decisions at this point. I have been working for a company in a temporary position for about 15 months now and would like to see if I can change that to a permanent position now that I have the degree. I am also interested in Lean and Six Sigma certifications and would like to continue on to an MBA at some stage.

doing this and working and trying to raise a family ain't easy!

You can say that again. The one thing I am looking forward to is a “normal” life for a while. Commuting for 90 minutes a day, working 40 to 50 hours a week and maintaining a family life while studying wasn’t the easiest thing in the world.

By the way, I'm in New Zealand right now...you're missing a great summer! Why not reward yourself and come home to Australia for a holiday

I’ve heard that Kiwi summers were pretty good. I never made it over there but I should have. Summer back in Aus (North Queensland to be precise) runs at about 100 degrees and ninety percent humidity at this time of year. While you are there ask the locals what they thought of the cricket against Australia in December

Anyway, all the best to everyone for the year to come and many more in the future.

Regards
