Systems analysts typically have a skill set applied to a larger system. For example, many analysts have database admin and SQL skills. Those are used to manage the system and support reporting, etc.

You need to decide what area of IT you want to pursue and build appropriate foundational skills. IF you try to go into IT because "you like to build computers", you'll end up on the Tier 1 help desk as a best case scenario.

I'd suggest using your financial background to go into a technical role in that department. Every accountant I've ever worked with was amazing at Excel, but couldn't use a database for anything. There are plenty of opportunities to combine financial and technical skills.

If you really want to stand out, learn how to implement AI and produce something productive. Every executive in America wants to tell their board they are using AI, but so far, it's almost all a pipe dream. There's serious money to be made by those who figure it out.

I'm quite disappointed at the lack of use of the storm's given name: Fern.

Lord Cantore commands it.

McMahon talked about this last week. He pointed out that the scheduling was done that way to increase LSU's NET ranking. LSU got up to 34, so it worked to a degree.

I have found that the stick devices are decent but not great streamers. Mine randomly buffer or downgrade the resolution. On the other hand, the boxes (Apple and Roku Ultra) perform much better. Mine never have the above problems. Definitely get a better streaming device.

There is a program called BimmerCode that allows one to configure BMWs to turn on and off various features. One is turning off the auto stop start (arse). It will also configure seat belt chimes, interior light color, pop up notifications, etc.

I pay someone. I am not paying for the mowing, I'm paying for more free time on the weekends.

Listened to blues guitar all of my life. There are too many great, soulful, interesting players to waste time on Joe B.

That said, I do enjoy his gear videos. You can tell he grew up in a music shop.

You'll want to go to 12 South at some point. The girls will appreciate the shopping, and the guys can sit at the Tap Room or Bottle Cap. While you're there, eat at Buttermilk Ranch (best brunch ever), BarTaco, or Fondas. There are a few more great places on that stretch as well. It's peak gentrification, but it's a neat place if you've never been.

What’s your rationale for formally putting it in his name?

Something to consider is protection from a judgment. Say your college kid owns and insures the car, gets in a wreck, and is sued. They won't have many assets for a lawsuit to target. Presumably, a 50 year old parent would be a juicier target for a lawsuit. But I'm not a lawyer, so ask an expert before swapping names on a title.
