Maestro still hasn't sent my transcripts, but more than that... this school is NO JOKE! Before I can enroll, I need to take Pre-Calculus, which I started today... they called me last week to let me know that it was the last thing needed before I could join the accelerated combined BS & MS in CS degree track. Some of you stress over tests on Maestro, here is the Youtube video from my orientation about the exam process. I had Pre Calc in high school and aced it... but that was in 1984-5 so this should be fun! Also, I had to buy a white dry erase board and an $85 Graphing Calculator for the exams too (they will be here Tuesday). I had to pay $25 for this course and have 3 months to complete it. Reading what is involved, I should be done in 3-5 weeks and then scheduled for the next Cohort.

https://www.pace.edu/program/verizon-technician-training-program I thought I'd drop this link in case anyone is looking for a shorter term career opportunity while they pursue school. Verizon gave a grant to Pace University to fund this program to find more technicians. Half of the country still has no fiber access. There's a lot of money to be made there. And it isn't exactly the most complicated work. The program is free and you get a digital cert at the end you can use to leverage a position with Verizon, Frontier (who Verizon now owns), or any of the other major ISPs. I'll just leave this here with the hopes that it might give someone another option they didn't know they had. Hope everyone is doing well between life and school!
