back to school, back to school, jiggedy jig
Didn't really see it coming but here it is: Monday I go
It is true.
Lane Community College runs an Energy Management class. It is one of only 5 programs in the country. It is a two-year applied science degree, and while a handful of credits from my Bach degree do count it is not a continuation of Philosophy of Psychology. But then again what could someone possibly do without those degrees anyway?
The program has two veins. One focuses on renewable energy installation: from solar heating, to solar electricity, to wind power and rain water collection systems. The other focuses on accesing the efficiency of a buildings energy use. Most common in older or retro-fit buildings, but increasingly popular with new construction (read: mechanical engineering firms). The program has placed 100% of their students within a month of graduation for the last 10 years or more, all within a reasonable salary range. To top it all off: I would be working in a field that takes energy use and its effects very seriously.
Brielle and I have looked at the cost and feel that it is within our means to afford the classes. Brielle also hopes to take some classes within a year or two. And for less than $70 a credit hour it makes me wonder what Dordt did with all the money I gave/promied to them.
P.S. pictures of the desk are still on their way.
