I'm very much an autodidact (self-taught), but that's not enough for me. I need the formal education to fill in the knowledge gaps inherent in teaching yourself, plus a degree never hurts when it comes to furthering your career. My job is developing software and managing the VMWare infrastructure for a small company called 1st Basis in Brookfield, WI. It's a fantastic job that I hope to augment with what I learn at MATC.
There were several options for me when it came to furthering my education, but I ended up choosing MATC. Milwaukee Area Technical College was the best choice for me because it's a well-respected college, with many of it's students going right into the technical field after graduating. It was put on my radar because of a recommendation from my former boss, Dave Beiswenger.
I'm excited for the opportunity to learn here, and I expect a lot from the classes I take here.
