The second degree

I'm contemplating of going back to to school, again, next year. MBA, it's not.

Career-wise, things have been quite steady (read: boring). If no workshop or training is available to stimulate my mind or brush up my skills, I better do something about it. Quitting is one; going back to school is another.

Twice in a row, I have enrolled via distance education. Studying in solitude, communicating with virtual classmates was a tad challenging. One has to focus on the goal of finishing the entire course within the set schedule of the university. Procrastination was very tempting. Otherwise, you either drop your subjects or discontinue the studies for good. Unavoidable circumstances, work and family demands took a toll on me at some point. I didn't get sick nevertheless. But the sheer exhaustion of multitasking drained me.

And now, I'm thinking of studying again. For one, I don't plan on studying again just because I'm bored. There's always that ultimate goal as to what I really want to do with my life.
