Moving into the “real” world

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

So, I’ve officially graduated and I didn’t even get a ceremony from my school.  The University of Oklahoma’s College of Engineering is pretty awesome like that.  In fact now that I have a real software job I’m seeing all the holes in my education.  I’m becoming increasingly irritated by this “education” that I have received.  Appropriately nonsensical words like “craptastic” come to mind.

This experience has led me to decide to write not only a review of my education, but an in depth critique if time permits.  I’d like to start with my program in particular, but in the long run I’ll review the entire educational process.  I’ll try to push out the first part before the first of the new year.
Incidentally, and not connected in any way to my graduation, I’ve also chopped the mop.  No, it wasn’t to impress prospective employers.  I don’t play that game.  In fact I did all my interviewing and got my job long before I cut my hair.  I’ll try to post some pictures before too long.
