I am now graduated.

Phew! That was a long 2 years. I am finally done with my MBA. Highlight was the Revitalization class taught by Vijay Sathe. The insight into organizations was amazing. He also is an excellent teacher. The lowlight was the 'Modularity' class taught by Sanchez. I don't remember much other than he sure liked talking about himself.

So where to now? Keep my job at Cedars? Well, I would like to earn a little more money. To do this, I will have to get a different job. I have two primary options.

The first is to work for GST. That would be a good transition. GST is a great company and the outside sales position I would have would give me great earnings potential in an area that I am familiar- IT Procurement.

The second is a long shot; but not undoable. Its earnings potential is huge! That would be commercial real estate. I have found a good company that is small and would offer me the mentoring that I would need. There would be a longer ramp up time. But I have already started putting myself into a position to take advantage of it by scheduling my R/E salesperson exam for 7-9.

Family is doing really well. Mi suegra is going on vacation for a month. So Silvia is going to find childcare for Meghan. That is going to be a hard month. Then we are going on vacation to Sweden for 2 weeks with both kids. That is going to be really hard on Wilson.

So that is that.

Got it done.

Ok. I just got it done. I am graduating from CGU Drucker School of Mgt with my MBA. I did it in the prescribed 24 month period while holding down a real job, changing jobs and companies, having a new daughter, having my car stolen, and having my Voom Satellite Cable TV service cancelled.

So what does that mean to me? Well, here is the top 10 things that will change in my life now that I have finished my MBA:
10) I can play computer games and watch TV with relatively no guilt.
9) I get to help out around the house more.
8) No more group projects.
7) My son won't say 'good-nite' to an empty desk chair anymore.
6) Sleep more
5) Home Improvement projects.
4) I don't feel any different.
3) My boss expects me to work harder.
2) My fixed costs increase $300/mo.
1) I get to add a TLA (three letter acronym) to my business cards!
