South College DBA Journey Completed
#1
Hello! I recently completed my DBA at south College and I just wanted to say thank you to everyone here. Without this amazing forum, I would not have earned my degrees so quickly. My post-history has more but I have achieved my grandfather's dream of completing my education. I earn my AA from my local community college, my BACS from TESU, my MBA from WGU, and my DBA from South College. It was a tough road but I am so happy to be done. I have been working in my chosen career for several years now and between tuition reimbursement, degree hacking, and competency-based education I have paid for all my tuition. I have no idea if I could replicate this again in such a short time frame but if I could do it anyone can do it. Again thank you to everyone on this forum for all the wisdom and support I have gotten over the years. Future thinking Besides some certs like the PMP or maybe some independent design courses (always wanted to learn how to sketch cars in detail) I am done with my education. My goal with this is to build my resume not now but for a few years down the road in my career when I wanted to have to build up my name for mgmt.

Thank you! This forum has given me the opportunity to focus on buying a home without the student debt. It is a huge blessing I won't waste.

If I can get my pmp, I want to work my way up in my org and make as much money as possible. Now that I am done with school I also want to consider putting more time towards my startup idea. I am also looking into buying a home in the near future. These are big plans in the short term. Teaching on the side for fun maybe as well.
