I've been working on the degree since I retired three years ago.
BSBA in Human Resource Management and certificate in Management
All I have to say is I am soooooo glad this is over with! :yahoo:
Now I can spend all of the time I spent studying on the lake chasing fish.
-
Congratulations.
-
Congratulation! You done good. :yahoo:
-
Does that mean you can get a job firing people? Cool!

I don't think so, although if I fire myself, I could spend more time on the water....naw, Mrs. Ogre would kick my ass.

Actually, that means he can get a low-paying job as an assistant or and assistant manager, if he has experience, making probably 30K, but he will eventually be making over 100k, and maybe over 200k in the future. It's one of those "work up" fields like having a degree in business administration.

NOT trying to discourage anyone here; just trying to show him the expectations. HR managers can make a TON of money, but they don't pay them that right out of college because they don't hire their managers straight out of college. Just stick with it, gain that experience, and you'll make that money.

Congratulations! Both on finishing the paper and getting to chase fish.
-
Congratulations! You've earned the right to chase a few fish!

Congrats and happy fishing!! :yahoo:

Speaking as someone in the HR arena, I can say that your statements are correct. That is about all I can say, as you know we really can't say anything anyway. :-)

Congratulations!

Thanks everyone for the congrats, I spent last evening chasing and catching. I'll post a pic if I can figure out how to get them from iPhone to here.
Tonight is cold, windy and there is rain on the way, think I'll play a little MW3. Look for the crappy sniper that just can't seem to get the knack of no scoping.

First of all congrats. But I'm confused. Why did you go get a degree AFTER you retired? Just for accomplishment sake, or is there something else I'm just not aware of?

I know people that do it. Retiree doesn't always mean 65. A co-worker retired as a river pilot at 50.

An enlisted man can retire at 37, T. Always a reason to better oneself.

Once I get my student loans and my medical debt paid off (my left eye cost me $27,000), I plan on going back. I'm not sure what for, but I'll be doing something soon.

Well then he got it to stay competitive. He made it sound like he was done completely. Thats why i asked.

I started a year before 9/11, however after 9/11 the workload of home station and deployments and trying to have a family life in between just wasn't condusive to completing.
I promised myself I would finsih after I retired and I had to see it through.

Hi5 just because.

Congrats, but why didn't you do your paper about fish behavior ?

No, I'm not completely done, I do plan on working on my Masters, I will probably take off a year before doing so.
I work for a company that does a lot of contract work for DoD, and I'm currently an analyst for my former career field, however I would like to have opportunities to do other things.
I had one career field my entire 29 years in uniform and still work in the field today.
I really enjoy being with the troops, supporting their efforts, and making a difference. The degree helps me as I have had a practical use for just about every subject at some point over the past three years.

Thanks, I thought it was important to show my sons that once you start something you have to see it through to completion.

It would have been tough, the last subject was project management. I like where you're going with this though, I could spend more time on the water conducting practical research and see what I can do when I start my working on a Masters degree.

As a fisherman, that's a study I could get behind. :stirpot:

The way I was understanding it was that when someone says just "retired" it means time to pull social security and move to Florida. When I hear "retired from the (branch)", I think, so you what are you gonna do now?

Congratulations Ogre! That's a great accomplishment.

No problem, I've got a few more years before that happens.
Mrs. Ogre is quite adamant about me not becoming a "lay-about do nothing" that golfs, hunts, or fishes all day long.

But you just listed three things that you are doing?

The difference is I occasionally get to do them, as opposed to occasionally not doing them. :-)
