Boulder Digital Works

I found out last week that I'm amongst the 16 students admitted to the first class at the Boulder Digital Works. I'm excited, and nervous, and excited some more all at once. It's an incredible opportunity, one that I see as a potentially life changing.

If you're not sure what Boulder Digital Works is you can find out more on their website. Simply put, it's a school for developing future digital leaders. With partners that include a who's who of the digital advertising world it is definitely a program with potential. Huge potential.

Right now I'm figuring out how to pay for the tuition ($25k, and because it's not a degree bearing program, most government loans don't apply) pay for living expenses while attending and still kick ass in the actual program itself. It's going to be a tough balance of debt, work and school.

The whole thing has the potential to weigh me down for the rest of my life with debt or put my career into overdrive and launch me into the sort of places I've only dreamed of.

I'm hoping that by leveraging the things I can control (my hard work, effort, etc) I can overcome the things I have less control over (my lack of money, the economy, etc).

One thing is for sure: it'll be interesting.
