Currently looking at changing industries. I'm coming from a technical but non-programming background and thinking of pursuing the database certificate. Has anyone gone a similar route? What were your results?

Good choice, I'm in the same situation but am going for a Web dev career. Switching over so far has been a great choice for me because of my passion and drive. I recommend that you look into what it is that you want to with that certificate and… Read more

What is a 68 year old fart writing a review about Mission College?…read more Drove 14 miles round trip on a Wednesday to Mission College parking lots B and C, where Kaiser Permanente is giving out flu shots. Kaiser Permanente is not giving out walk in flu shots at its hospitals this year in Santa Clara county. Instead it is teaming up with Mission College offering drive through flu vaccinations. Drive southbound 101, left turn on Great America, left turn onto Mission College blvd, and right turn around the parking lots. Place is huge, perhaps larger than nearby Levi stadium parking lot. Temporary signs lead the way to parking lot B, empty of student cars due to virtual classes. Sign says no photography nor videos. Probably for privacy concerns of the patients. No line, no waiting for cars in front of me. Fortunately as this is an 84 degree day in late October. One mile drive through a maze of orange traffic cones and chain linked wooden construction signs zig zagging through the parking lot, like a waiting line at Disneyland. Place can handle 2000 cars a day or 300 cars per hour. Roll the window down, with your mask on. Got to show your kaiser membership card just before the tent entrance just to get in Directed by masked members at the tents, to one of half a dozen drive in stations, where the flu vaccinations are set up. Each station can handle 50 cars per hour, or one car every 60 seconds. Turn off engine. Personnel swipe my Kaiser card through the electronic card reader, and check my one year old real id driver license. Wear a shot sleeve shirt, so that they can give you a 25 ml vaccine dose. I tell them I'm over 65, so I get a 27 ml dose needed for seniors like me. A bit of alcohol to clean the skin, a poke of the needle, and dab of cotton over the puncture. Flu vaccinations from 9am-415pm Monday-Saturday, except Tuesday which is 1pm-415pm. Earlier in September you had to make an online appointment. Now no appointment needed, as nobody coming on weekday afternoons. In and out in 15 minutes max. People could come here on their lunch times, the only advantage of having to come to work during the coronavirus. The sea of parking cones reminds me of when I took driving lessons from my Dad in the late 1960s at the vast UC Berkeley parking lots. Driving a 1965 Chevrolet Impala, a big difference from my stick shift 2017 Honda Fit. Car was so big that I would probably run over a fair number of those traffic cones and chain barriers at Mission College.

Currently attending SJSU for my Master of Arts in Teaching and Teaching Credential in English. It's…read morea rigorous program that pushes for social equity and preparedness as a professional public school teacher. The classes are not too bad; most of my classmates and professors are awesome. I can't wait to graduate (again) in December 2026! Fun fact: SJSU's Teacher Education department is the oldest public teacher preparatory program in California! To go back even farther, I got my Bachelor of Arts in journalism here. My academic journey was atypical: I first enrolled in August 2011 and officially graduated in August 2022. I'll spare y'all the details, but I'm proud of myself for coming back and finishing my degree. It just proves that anybody can get a college degree if you really put your mind to it. SJSU is a world-class university smack dab in the middle of the Bay Area. It's gotten better since I first enrolled and its location will only continue to make it an enticing option for college students. $4,700 a semester for full-time enrollment is honestly a steal. If you can focus on your goal of getting your degree and block out distractions, SJSU is awesome for what it is. There is free parking on the streets off campus if you know where to look. I don't recommend using the gym, library, or student union tbh. They're overcrowded and noisy. Just get food off-campus and study at home or a Santa Clara County or San Jose public library instead; they're quieter, and you have less of a chance of someone stealing your stuff. There are some occasional incidents with unhoused individuals having public mental health breakdowns, but it's nearly nonexistent compared to the 2010s.

I never could have imagined in a million years that I would be attending SJSU. I dropped out of…read morehigh school at the age of 16 after the house-fire. I am now 43. I enrolled myself back to school (SJCC) during the height of the pandemic. Anyway, though school is a drag because it requires attendance, hard work, attention, memorialization, organization, understanding, and follow-through but I still feel butterflies in my stomach each time I am on campus. The orientation was long and I didn't think it should be mandatory, but if you don't attend then you will not be able to register for any classes. Parking is rough but I have been lucky to find parking across the street from Banh Mi Oven Tuesday evenings. I had 9 units - 2 online classes and 1 in-person class. You need a badge to get into buildings, so try not to lose it. During orientation towards the tail end of it, advisors/counselors were very helpful. I scheduled a Zoom with a counselor during the semester to confirm what I need and don't need to take. Both experiences have been wonderful. I am majoring in Sociology. The student union building (eateries, bookstores, bowling alley, etc.) is spacious and clean. It's busy during the school year. They only have Pepsi products on campus and no vending machines! There is a cafeteria-style food area as well. It is near their awesome gym equipped with a rock climbing wall, too. I have not had a chance to work out there yet. I also love the fact that MLK library is pretty much on campus as well. I just finished summer semester and still I'm in awe that I am a Spartan. Maybe I'll get sick of it but so far the only thing I'm sick of is their tuition. I don't qualify for financial aid, so I need to take a loan (financial aid and photos for IDs) are not on campus so plan ahead if you need to come there or to the bursar's office. My summer class alone not including textbook rental costed me $1580. For once class. Thankfully there are loans. Lots of flyers and posts on their Sammy app. I was fortunate to help make individual tiramisu for the honors history club. I don't have time to socialize. Let's be real. I'm old to be these students' mom, so I'm not trying to be but I enjoy reading posts and seeing the flyers and help wherever I can. I'm registered for 12 units this fall. Wish me luck!
