[il-talk] Going Back to School

[Denise Avant]

Hello Bruce,
The first thought I have is whether this is something you really want to do. If it is, then you learn about all the things you need to do to prepare to go back to school. I am sure you know the things to do to be a successful student. After all, you've done it before. So if this is what you want and the requirements are what they are, then you will do it.

I talked with someone in the Computer Science Department at UIC about possibly going back to update my skill set.  They would require me to do another Bachelor's, in Computer Science.  This seemed a bit excessive, especially considering that my sister is preparing me for the retirement home already.
