Honours Program

Schweeeet. So i am now filling in my application for the GBS Honours program for the third time now. Something new each time. I suck. Anyway. I am going through the list of options i can choose for my two electives. And they suck so bad. Only one is even closely to e-commerce, and that was taken down. I was talking to one of the professors a year ago, and she said that the uni had been taking down alot of the e-commerce related fields. Sorry my uni, but totally wrong step.

I don’t know why, btu my uni seems to be heavily focused on corporate systems, and forgetting other vibrant channels as the internet, or mobile commerce. You could even compare it to the stale models of web1.0. Yes as lame as that sounds, i said it. Maybe they are right, maybe they only concentrate on the droids, and its just a factory for non-entrpreneurs, i can understand that. Because alot of entrepreneurial minded people like myself wouldn’t even go to uni, they would get stuck into it. True again. You might be thinking to yourself now, well Bill Gates quit uni, so did the google boys. They did indeed, but maybe they had insight from uni.

But lets not focus on the leaders of the organisation. Lets think for a second about the cogs within the company. These people most definitely have a university degree; In fact google requires that they do. So if they have a heightened awareness about the technologies and people around them, then they can ore effectively extract their benefits. Now corporate systems is great, everyone likes bureaucracy and a bit of splurging on KS and an intranet/extranet system that could cure aids, but what good is that when you’re greatest loss in the company is at your point of sales.

My example here is that people need to know the technologies out there, the systems that go on, and how different environments require different skill sets. I will get my uni back on track. It will be a good way for me to focus on my roles within my own projects. So there it is, full time student for life. >_< Until i hit billionaire status.
