Past, Present, And Future As the job market gets more and more competitive and the need for an education with a degree becomes more a necessity, returning to school seemed to be my only option. Twenty years ago, I left the life of a student attending Louisiana State University to take a job with a local bank and the realization that receiving a paycheck was more important than my education. Now, as I look back, what a terrible mistake. What was I thinking? At the age of forty, I now find myself burning the midnight oil once again but this time, it is neither easy, nor as cheap. I am currently working as a taxer representative for a major real estate tax reporting company and have been for the past fifteen years. I am very interested in making a career change in the next two years and I am focusing my attention on a sales position with a pharmaceutical company. Unfortunately, one of the requirements for this type of position is that you have at least have a bachelor’s degree. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy my job and the benefits are not bad. I do travel a good bit of the time, but I don’t mind. I would just like a little more financial security in today’s business world along with the chance for advancement. As I began to consider my options for continuing my education, friends and acquaintances kept telling me about commercials that they were hearing advertising the University of Phoenix and how you could get your degree in two to three years. I visited the Baton Rouge campus and signed up that day.
