re: BIL trying to figure out if he should get a degree

Got 3 semesters left to get my bachelors, just turned 42. Wish I’d found this applied tech program sooner. Gonna get my MBA afterward. I work for a large O&G corp and it’s obvious after 15 years that I don’t really fit in with the offshore mentality. I’ll be done with the MBA by 45, will have 18 years experience, and it will be time to move to a different section of the company. I know I’ll have better opportunities since I already work for a major corporation, plus it gives me something constructive to do, which is important for me, since it keeps me busy at work and sober at home.
