So, this getting a bachelors degree is old news. The
fact of
the matter is that Christa went on to do her Master’s work at San Jose
State as
well. She graduated with her Masters Degree in December
2004. She also taught a Comm 50 class (three semesters of
teaching) at San Jose State and she had a 20 hour a week internship at
IBM in San Jose while
completing her Masters work. Such dedication and hard work.
We are so proud of you Christa!

After completing her Master's degree, Christa went to work fulltime for
IBM, completing her internship and officially joining the work
force. Her department was subsequentlly downsized and she was
offered several different positions at IBM requiring her to transfer to
various parts of the country. My daughter finally found out that
IBM does not stand for Itty Bitty Machines but rather it stands for
I've Been Moved.
Rather then take a transfer, she researched and applied for jobs
locally and ended up going to Apple Computer in April of 2006.
So Christa continues to develop her business career and grow as a
person.
