i am the king of bitching about things like the GRE, statistics, computer programing requirements for social studies, and the general scientification of everything academic as the new form of legit’.  don’t get me started…crying.

the other day, in Soc 119s (one of the best classes on campus), studying Porters’s 5-forces, we were assigned the task of assessing a random business of our choosing, and designing strategic improvement suggestions.  it became very clear, very quickly, that it is IMPOSSIBLE to make any suggestion, to formulate anything but a conjecture, without having access to data and numbers…i found myself repeating over and over again, yes, but unless we see the numbers we really can’t make any suggestions.


i want to see the numbers.  now.  i need percentages, i need charts, i needs statistical analysis, and the skills to understand.  i get it.  all done.  changing spring semester to include a computer programing class and a statistical analysis and research class.  i love school, and somewhat dread the unfamiliar, but this is all about determination, and making oneself relevant and useful.

increasing personal utility as a unique value proposition!!!
