About 3 weeks ago I let you know that I hired a couple of students from the Minot State University Business College to help me get caught up and also to upgrade my technology. One lasted one day and the other, John, is still with me but struggling with all I've thrown at him from AR to entering listings, to upgrading part of my website. 
I asked John to give us the scoop on what was happing at school and he wrote the following. Now I'm not sure why some of the words below are high lighted unless he had links set up for me to attach to them. If that's the case... oops on my part but it's only a few hours till Easter so I will have to check that out when he returns to the office on Wednesday.
By the way that is John over there to the right. I did not have a sudden burst of hair growth and I'm still my 150 pound self.
MSU Business Department Has Expanded Its Opportunity
Thanks to Rosmini Omar, James Ondracek, Gary Ramey, and Julianne Eklund, Minot State University has recently added more classes online for Marketing and Information Technology careers. With these individuals and others stepping up the pace, MSU is offering a full online bachelor's degree in Marketing, Psychology, Nursing, Accounting, Computer Science, Special Education and Management Information Systems. I usually get the question what is Management Information Systems? Well it is a well-rounded career that involves Managing a Network, (IT guy) Databases, light accounting work, creating professional documents, webpages and slideshows. The most common combination for an MIS major is to manage a network or database or be the assistant of both in a professional business. After I explain this I usually get the question what is a database? A database is place that stores information about a business, organization or general need to store specific information about a topic of interest. When you have a database you can track information such as: how much sold, who sold it, when they sold it and the list goes on to whatever you put into it as you will get a calculated report or query. I am glad to be a Minot native and see the Business Technology department of our local University excel in our city.
