Graduated!

Dad's not around to brag about me so I figured gotta do a little for my old man. There I am looking like a bozo.



BS in Information Technology minor in computer science starting full-time on Monday.

Gotta give a shout out to Pelican for helping me keep my 944 on the road and getting me places.

Now I can buy a real porsche!

You are the man.

Thanks everyone. Oops yeah monday is memorial day technically I start monday but will be really starting Tuesday.

I've already been working in the field for the past 5 years generally only a 20-30 hour week. It's a medium/large sized Aerospace insulation company in the IT dept and with my degree they offered me a full time position. Do a little bit of everything mostly windows but learning more and more about our IBM mainframe and production environment.

Network administration, database administration, desktop support and a little programming here and there. Pretty much whatever my coworkers don't want to do lol.

Student loans are a non issue thanks to extremely cheap tuition and amazing parents who footed most of the bill. Yeah as somebody noticed it is a small campus I think around 5k students graduating class was like 1400 people split into two ceremonies so mercifully it was a short ordeal in the SoCal sun.

But all this computer stuff that's just the fall back plan if being a rockstar doesn't pan out

Congratulations to your graduation. And your fall back plan is not too bad either. Maybe you could be the next Magnus Walker?

Man, the next Magnus that sounds like a good plan. Yeah dude that's Channel Islands.

The salute was under the gown, rockin my Running Wild shirt the whole time mostly with the gown open even sparked up a conversation with a random group of dudes in the row ahead of us who turned out to be huge metal heads.

Cool, man. I am from Thousand Oaks, so just over the hill, but am finishing up my last couple weeks up at Cal Poly SLO (we are still on the quarter system). Must have been something when that fire came through.
