2nd Degree

I met with an advisor for the Textile/Apparel Design program at the university. I will be graduating with a degree in Computer Science (after 18+ years of college) in the middle of December. I looked at going back and doing a Master's in the Textile/Apparel Design but as I looked at the course requirements, it looked soooo boring. The courses that looked like fun were the ones in the undergraduate program. Now that I'm finishing the 'money making' degree, I want a degree that is fun! So I met with the advisor to see if it was possible to come back and do a second Bachelor's degree in the Textile/Apparel Design. After going over my records, we discovered that I only need to take about 10-12 classes to have the second degree. Woohoo. Now I just need to clear it with my boss to keep taking time off during the day for this next degree and I will be ecstatic. It will be a big change to be in a 'people-oriented' program after all these years in a technical computer track. I'd already started the Apparel program a long time ago (took the first 2 classes) but realized I needed a degree that would let me pay my bills in the real world. I loved those classes. I would walk out of the class every day literally dizzy like I'd been taking some kind of drug because I was enjoying them so much. I can't wait to get back into that degree program.
