Greetings,
2nd day of the first week. It was interesting in class. We spoke briefly about the construction of our own blogs, which led to the making of my first. Titled Murphy's Blog 3 (to be renamed at the end of term), it is meant to be a direct line of communication between my colleauges.
We also were asked to visit Salary.com to research the earning potential in a chosen field. I found one of particular interest that sounds very promising. The title was User Liason. What was intriguing was the level of interaction between the liason and other personnel, ensuring that the customer's needs were being met. That has been what I'd been envisoning I'd be doing for some time.
Now mind you, the site states typically people are looking for at least a bachelor's degree, but I would like to think I've been around computers long enough outside of school to know what I'm doing. Experience weighs more than training, as they equate to muscle and fat. And typical annual salaries started in the $50,000 range, and ended just shy of $70,000. Now that's a dream worth chasing!
Anyhow, I look back and think..."why wasn't I taking this bit seriously?" Perhaps I should make it a point to kick myself in the shins if I catch myself slacking in tomorrow's class. Until then, team.
