October 19 - October 25

Thinking of topic for my presentation.
Today we had a guest speaker, Chris Khan, whom was a previous student at CSUMB. He works for a small business incubation here in Monterey. The reason Mr. Khan attended CSUMB was to obtain his masters degree and a career change from his previous job in the semiconductor industry. This class session involved questions in regards to what employers are looking for and what he had learned while attending CSUMB. This was asked of the presenter by Dr. Tao. The speaker was obviously very intelligent (graduated with science degree which I'm sure required tons of math even while partying as he claimed is quite an accomplishment) and driven. I remember him mentioning that he took in excess of 20 units per semester while attending to graduate early. I am currently doing the same and am questioning this wisdom. It seems Mr. Khan has someone reinforced my fears by confirming that he wished he hadn't taken so many units at once since he felt that his experiences weren't as optimal as he would've liked since he was busy with schoolwork.
