Hahaha, I'm a bit of a funny duck I guess. The degree is just for the fun of learning. I'm firmly established in my career and this will have no bearing on it. Surprisingly, as someone who has worked in business and the corporate world for a long time, most of the things that I have been learning have at least some applications in real life. I did work for a US corporation and have also been involved with non-profits so maybe that's part of the reason. I've particularly enjoyed the accounting courses, and this Government and non-profit accounting course has been interesting as heck, even if it is a wall of work. The format of it just caught me a little off guard.
I have seen more of the course now and am working steadily towards completion. Once I'm done I will likely give an update with some generic suggestions that I think could make it a little smoother transition for future UMPI students.
