On Balancing Career & College...

Posted by Cliff on from the seeking-suggestions-from-those-who've-been-there dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "Hi folks. Some advice please - I've been in university twice already and quit both times - the first due to lack of interest in the course and the second a combination of lack of interest and work pressures. The second time round, I started a tech company and it's now three years old and doing OK. I am now seriously thinking about going back to Uni to get a degree (for real this time ;-). Is anyone out there successfully juggling running a company and studying at the same time? How do you juggle the two without hampering either due to lack of the right amount of attention?"

  1. How about getting an mcse and quit doing linux by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    This is all total nonsense. Linux has been steadily losing market share to Windows .NET Server 2003 Enterprise Edition. UnitedLinux is just another worthless attempt to make people think Linux is actually worth considering as an entrerprise platform. I have formally banned all Linux discussions at my company by enforcing the following mantra "Open Source? Open Door to Unemployment". Not only do I not allow my employees to discuss Linux, I have started blocking Linux related web sites using our Internet content filtering tool. Now I know exactly who is trying to learn about Linux while I am paying them upwards of $10 per hour to be an MCSE!!

      Here's a better topic for 'ask slashdot'
      How can you set up a network so that your employees get re-directed to goatse.cx when they try to access a linux site?
      Thanks for your replies!

    I heard of someone doing this - hire a secretary and pay her to attend all your lectures, writing notes and answering your questions that you have. Then there will be little need to go into the place, except to do exams and hand stuff in.
