The Bottom Line: You Gots ta Get Chor Own

It's been fun [for me at least]. I've so immensely enjoyed sharing my personal experiences and thoughts about being a student with the world wide web. With this remark and the deadline for this assignment fast approaching, I'd like to recap previous blog posts and the key messages that I would like to share with anyone who is wanting or willing to read.

SEMESTER END REVIEW - CONDENSED NOTES:

In the beginning the topics discussed in this blog addressed the hardships of being a post-graduate student. This included the subjects of networking and selling yourself.

NTS: Networking isn't important, but creating and maintaining meaningful relationships is important, and selling yourself is the first step to developing that relationship.

In the middle of the blog, I have included what you can expect to learn in terms of  software and hardware as a student in the Advertising program at Sheridan College.

NTS: Don't forget to practice what you learned about PMB, ComScore, Photoshop, Adobe Indesign etc. If you don't use it - you lose it.

And finally, the latter postings of the blog are more reflective in nature. They address how being a student has changed my outlook.

NTS: There's a lesson and a laugh in every situation.


CLOSING REMARKS

All in all, only you can assess whether enrollment in a post-graduate program is right for you; you gots to get chor own. There are several of factors that need to be taken into account and my situation might not be the same as yours. For several of reasons: financing, time, priorities, conflict of interest  - whatever it might be - pursuing a post-graduate degree just might not make sense.

I'll just let you know this: Sheridan is an excellent learning facility and I've certainly enjoyed my stay. And if you want to learn more about advertising and for some reason cannot enroll in the program, their are certainly other ways of obtaining knowledge.

To each their own. Right?

Additionally: 

If you're reading or have been reading this blog for information purposes I hope my anecdotal diary like blog has help paint a good picture of what is to be expected from the Sheridan Advertising Post graduate program. If on the off chance you would like to hear more I would like to extend an invite to reach out. You can email me or Google+ me, comment in the section below - it doesn't matter.

I'm done.
