Obstacle Course in Education

In any public institution, there are bountiful barriers, whether from regimented rules parroted by mindless drones to non-sense stemming from things like ego and politics.  And most certainly, at San Francisco State, there's no deficit of these issues.  Yet still, there's plenty of opportunities if you can keep focused and not just  simply scrape by, getting a good grade without learning anything.  

A good friend of mine told me these barriers are put in place for the "other people".  Those that work around these, go through these, can get places in life, but for those that don't  apply themselves and don't work through barriers (especially self-created ones) have to get comfortable with settling for less in life.


I intend to make the most of my education, both in what the professors have designed or designated I should learn, and also in the material needed in the industry at large, that is, real concrete business and technical skills related to Information Systems.  This may mean I have to get education outside of SFSU, at a sister college, through professional training, or through a study abroad...
