Well, guys, when I retired from Dow 2 1/2 years ago, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to go back to college and get a degree in a new field. After something like 30 classes in law, HR, finance, statistics, event management, accounting, business development, etc..., after 15 group projects, 21 research papers, and countless hours of study, I have done it, I'm a graduated! A B.S. in Hospitality management :)

A B.S. in Hospitality management
Does that mean you can bill yourself for organising your own graduation party and claim back the drinks cost as a deductable?

Awesome job, one can never be too educated.:know: :doh:
Seriously good for you, tough to go back to school after being in the working world. A friend of mine recently did that, starting nursing school at the age of 30 after working for a long time.
Congratulations!!:up: Now what exactly is A B.S. in Hospitality management?:hmmm:
As TarJak said, sounds like more B.S.:03:

Congrats, Neal, but I'd wager they should have seen the site you've done so well hosting here and awarded the degree based on that alone - you've done a bang-up job managing this place hospitably.
Congrats!
Ya know...the place I work at is most likely in need of a new manager soon, the old one is about to walk the plank...
It's a bit of a lengthy commute though... :hmmm:

Submarine themed hotel?

And two bathrooms. But one of them holds half the food. The other half is hanging from the ceilings everywhere.

Many congratulations on your BSc, even if I can't figure out what on earth science has to do with hospitality management. Here that would be a buisness or trades degree. :-?
But congratulations none the less :yeah:

Did you manage to study full-time, or did you work besides the studies? I am asking because I am also making my B.Sc, but it takes a little longer since I have a demanding and time-consuming job.
So my fullest respect goes to the >30 generation who havr the self-motivation and discipline to get some further education. :salute:
(while responding it happened for the first time that I got a blue screen on my 7 system, hope that's not a bad sign :03:)

I completed the first two years in 96-98, while working in the chemical plant (with wife and kids to take care of, too!).
I started my last two years in 2008 and just went to school full time, fall-spring-summer-fall spring-summer-fall, for 2 1/2 years. I worked part time from April '10 until July '10, when I took a second job and worked 7 days a week until Nov '10. :) So, I got to experience all extremes.
