When I checked my mailbox today I had a small card from UA Financial Aid office asking me to call them about opportunities to continue my education. Last week I had gotten one about pursuing an MBA.

Don't see much of a point in that right now in my life, honestly. I was curious if this is something they do around this time or what? I've been hit up for money by the alumni association a few times but this is different.

It will be 5 years since I graduated in December so is that it?

Serious about what, continuing my education? I don't see it being of use to me in my current field.

If I was to go off on my own I could see the positives in making connections that come from networking while going through those motions. However, I doubt that is going to happen in the next 5 years.

I just wanted to know how serious you were. The catalogs are now online and I can answer most questions you have. I am part recruiter, advisor, and lifecoach.

You are in an undergrad alumni database and the mailings are targeted. At five years you are moving out of the group most likely to pursue an advanced degree.

Gotcha, so that's why. Thanks for that. I just thought it was odd as I hadn't had anything from UA in the mail in awhile.

Wait, life coach?

Haha..

Maybe if they offered course work in forestry I'd be interested.

I'd look at Clemson, UGA or Arkansas for an advanced forestry degree.
