Ways to Avoid Getting a Degree (Any Degree)

[ryoder]

I feel honored to be the thorn in your side

This is not easy for any of us. Some things come easier for others. Take my HR class for example. This class kicked my butt and now I'm in statistics and worry that I may actually get a C+ or B-.

Of course the computer classes are a total breeze because I have silicon in my blood (not silicone, I am a man).

Set reasonable goals for each day and hold yourself to them. You can do whatever you really want to do. Its all about focus.

You should see the weeds in my little landscaping area in front of the house. Atrocious. But I have completed a few graduate courses in the past few months so its ok.

The secret is to focus. To close off everything else and focus on one single task at a time. This requires a choice. To do one thing is to chose not to do another. Kind of obvious but you have to choose to get your degree. That may mean choosing not to watch TV, go to the movies with your wife, go to a birthday party, watch football, stay late at work etc.

I really think this forum is helpful and harmful too. Don't spend too much time here or on facebook or any of the other distractions holding you back from your degree.

Good luck. And I am only working on my second bachelors and an MBA. Not my 13th. I'm not quite sure what my 13th would be anyway
