Although you probably weren’t even aware that I had gone anywhere, last week my wife and I packed our duds in a bag, threw in a few bologna sandwiches and pointed the old Rambler south towards Salt Lake City, Utah. We left the comfort of our cozy, air conditioned house to go see our middle son receive his BS in Marketing. I don’t want to bore anyone with the details and we’ll just say that all went well and according to plan. We even managed to throw in a few side stops along the way.
The only real problem we faced besides the burning sun was my inability to use my so called ‘smart’ phone to keep up with everyone’s wonderful posts. It may be a smart phone but I guess it requires a smart person on the back side to use it properly.
Anyway, I returned home late last night and with the help of a sleepless night, I’ve tried my best to play some catch up. As of now, I believe I’m there. I’m looking forward to getting back on track.
Congrats to your son!

Congratulations to your middle son!! I’ve heard a lot about Western Governers. How did he like his experience there?

He loved it. He was able to complete his 4 year degree in 15 months while holding down a full time position for the State of Montana. At the ceremony, there were a lot of mother/daughter and husband/wife combinations graduating. My sons class was the 20th year for Western Governors. They now have over 150,000 alumni and they are fully accredited in the United States.

I’m so glad to hear it! Western Governors was doing competency-based education before competency-based education was cool.

This is true. It is definitely a good alternative to unmanageable student loans. There were 1290 in this graduation class…half for their Bachelors and half for their Masters.

Congrats to you and your son. I have a similar background (degree) I’m sure he and I could have a decent discussion on Brand.
