Upping the ante!

Update:  Fran will pay for her exam between April 15 and May 30, take the exam on June 27, and start June 27.  She made a big decision.  They discontinued the major that was labeled simply "Lic. Informatica" and replaced it with INGENIERÍA INFORMÁTICA, a more difficult course of study that will give her the title of "engineer."

Here are the courses it will include:

I would love to hear feedback about this course of study from folks in similar fields -- what you think it might qualify her to do.

It will definitely be more challenging for her, and I can foresee the occasional need for a private tutor.  I need to find one before she starts school.  Fran does seem to be able to solve most of the mathematical problems she encounters by steadfast effort and ingenuity (she's found some great tutorials in Spanish on the web), but I imagine she will hit a wall or two and need some timely assistance.

She will probably continue to work as a "part time" cashier at Soriana (6-hours day, 6 days per week) because it is really set up for students and most of her co-workers attend local universities.  She makes very little money, but it will give her enough pocket money to feel like a person, and to help buy her books.

So things are moving along!  I will continue to keep everyone informed.
