I am so mad! Or offendend is probably more along the lines of what I am feeling. I am taking a general business class with this professor that is wacked! He is like 72 years old, near deaf and just a general all around bad professor. He never comes to class prepared to teach, can't work the power point effectively and when it is up he never knows what they next slide is going to be because he hasn't studied it. He can't keep track of his own grading system and well...you get the point. I have never had such a bad teacher. And I'm definitely not the only student in his class that feels that way. My counselor knows this as well. So anyhow, we had to turn in a resume project. The project was to write a resume with a job description, qualifications and job experience that we intend to have in 15 years. Basically where do we want to be in 15 years? I am going to school to get my BA degree in Accounting. Next semester I will finally have my AA in General Business and then hopefully within a year and a half will have my BA. In 15 years I will be 37 and don't want have to be working at all unless I want to, but did put down what I would like to do if I had to. So what did I put? Well I'm going to use my degree naturally. I put down that I wanted to be an independent financial accountant. Because if I do work I would like to own my own business and work on my own terms. My resume said that it was to be a telecommuting position so that I could work for home, and handle the books of a small business, whether it be mine or another company. So I turn in my resume and he writes back, "Alright but you are not aiming very high." I was livid. I ASKED him what if we owned our own business and said then just put down what I would look for in a candidate. I thought about Denice and how she has always been into school, plans on getting her Masters and then going for her Doctorate in Linguistics. That's great! I am so happy for her but I couldn't handle going to school for that much longer, and feel like he is degrading me for not wanting to. Who knows what I still may become. For 2 more years (which I think I could handle) I could become a CPA. Do I plan on it? Maybe. Let's see where the road takes me. Anyhow--okay I am now done feeling LITTLE! I am successful is so many other areas of my life. School has never been my strong suit, but this semester I have put in so much effort that what he said really bothered me. I mean I must be doing SOMETHING right when I get my first offer (THEY are asking ME) to handle the books of a new start up company because they have been so impressed with my work and what I've done with their other company. Perspectives? Am I over-reacting. I am really trying not to let this bother me. Because no matter what I know who I am, what I've done and that no matter what I become I have a great support system around me.
