After being in school for almost five years, first completing my bachelor's degree and now this, I will finally be walking across the stage tomorrow to be handed my MBA Project Management. I'll be the first in my family with a graduate degree and am actually quite proud of the work I've put into completing my education. No PhD for this guy. It'll take me a little bit to figure out what normal is again.
Congrads, on your hard work and congrads on the good timing, as you'll be not only be able to find work but if good move to better things.. as the economy slowly shakes the funk off.
It's an MBA with a focus in project management. Everyone studies the same seven courses, but takes five different additional courses depending on their program. The university has several different programs, but the curriculum I took is accredited by the Project Management Institute (PMI) along with several other accreditations. The combination degree will help me in multiple ways in my career. Looks like FIT is in your backyard.

Ahh... Aventura. Where are you going to school?
Barry University? Nova Southeastern? Florida Atlantic University? University of Miami?
EDIT: Ahh... FIT. Cool... congrats!

Looks like the MBA thing is starting to pay off already. Landed a hopefully-lucrative job in Naples and I start on 12 February. For about six weeks, because of our lease, I'll work there during the week and come home on the weekends. Then the wife will join me permanently.
It is definitely expensive. Working on finding an affordable place to live now. Not easy. May have to commute a bit. But right now it takes me up to three hours to drive the 29 miles to get home in the afternoons, so a short commute won't be terrible.
My wife has relatives in Naples and Marco Island. I have been there a few times and it is a nice but somewhat expensive place (real estate wise). I hope that you and the wife do well there.

Thanks. Compared to Miami, Naples seems a little more quiet and less crowded. Maybe a little more room to spread out. But yeah, definitely more expensive in some respects. If my wife gets into residential real estate and does well, we'll be good to go. She normally works on the commercial end of real estate, but in Naples the real $ is in the residential side. So we'll see. I'll just be glad to be in a place where an hour and a half to go the 29 miles home is not defined as "quick." The Miami area is more for the young and uber wealthy I think. Aventura is nice, don't get me wrong. It's a very affluent area, but sooooo crowded. Our apartment complex is about 30 years old and shows its age. But we're surrounded by yachts and multi-million dollar condos. Heavy traffic is always a little more tolerable when you're flanked by Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Bentleys, and Rolls Royces. The "common folk" here can only afford to drive Porsches. lol
'Twas a sign. On the way to Naples yesterday to look at paces to live, we of course went through Alligator Alley. On the way, we were passed by a parade of three Lamborghini Aventadors lead by a Bugatti Veyron. Perhaps they were to lead us to the promised land. lol
