Presenting the first in an ongoing, open-ended, interminable, agonizing, mercilessly drawn-out series of continuing education lectures sure to enhance your earning power, personal satisfaction, and fast-muscle response. Welcome, Sean University class of 2011!

There are two types of degrees in the world: the kind that show you what temperature it is and the kind that show that you're a smart person who's taken classes. While the temperature kind of degrees can help you get jobs if you're a self-employed thermometer repairman and it's so hot outside that everyone's thermometers are blowing up, It's more practical to use the education kind...

You see, these days, the economy is a sinking ship, except instead of sinking, it's running out of money, and instead of being a ship it's a money system. What was once enough to get you gainfully employed (your own hammer, small enough hands to reach into the machines, a smile, etc.) just won't cut it anymore. Companies are looking for candidates that stand out, and what better way to earn the upper hand completing the Sean Adams University of Business Management Development Leadership Leadership (SAUBMDL) program. In the short time of for as many weeks that I keep thinking of blog posts about this, you can learn all that there is to know that I know about running your own small business.

You might be thinking, why should I choose SAUBMDL over a traditional brick and mortar institution? Because with SAUBMDL you can complete the course _whenever_ you want. If you're like a lot of people, you're probably busy working a dead end job, or being a parent, or imagining you're working a dead end job or being a parent in real time, or building a robot that can work your dead end job and raise your kids and imagine it all at once so you don't have to. So do you really have time to drive to a college, sit in a classroom for a couple hours? Of course you don't! With SAUBMDL all you need to do is read the blog posts and then you can download your certificate of completion (coming soon), print it and write your name in it (or you can just print the certificate and then pinky swear you'll eventually read the blog posts).

And when you're done with the program, and you've gotten the job of your dreams, that's it, right? Wrong! The certificate just keeps giving! Here are some great secondary uses:

The certificate is a valid form of identification that you can use to board certain airplanes, especially ones that look, sound, and act exactly like buses.

The certificate can be used as an illustrative example to answer the question, "What is a rectangle?"

If you hang it on your wall for all your guests to see, the certificate can serve as a great conversation starter, although it starts more exciting, colorful conversations if you try to hang it on someone else's wall.

So why wait? Get started with SAUBMDL today! Or if you've read this far, you've pretty much already started, and you're not a quitter are you??

(I'll gladly answer any questions you have in the comments section, unless they're really mean, in which case, I'll answer them, but I won't be glad about it.)
