This evening I graduate from a course that I started in 1995.
I'm very glad that I decided to finish my degree; ten years late is infinitely better than never
Much has changed since 1995: our home PC was a 486 (DX, even), we'd only just gotten a dial-up account and I was spending more time on BBSs than on the internet. The content of the most recent papers I've studied (2004) covered things we could have only dreamed about in our first year of the course.
My career has entailed both PC support and more recently, web development; things are only getting more exciting.
Anyway, this is the end of an era for myself. I can say "Good bye!" to the cloud that has been hanging over my head for the past decade and step into the world anew, as a qualified engineer.
Thank you, and good-day.
