Learning my ABC's

So I thought I was done with school, but there is so much training at work I am constantly learning new things. This week I am learning my ABC's- not the alphabet, but about Activity Based Cost Approach. ABC

"is a costing model that identifies activities in an organization and assigns the cost of each activity resource to all products and services according to the actually consumption by each: it assigns more indirect costs (overhead) into direct costs."

I am in this course Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and have three- 3!!- text books for this course! And at the end, a test! I even have reading homework tonight! According to the teacher,  this is the same version of the class that is taught at Harvard to MBA students (just highly compressed). Tomorrow we will be learning/reading several case studies and working on some of our own.

And thats not the end of my training. Thursday I have a full days worth of training dealing with "Appropriation Law" (how money is set aside in the government and through Congress for use on different programs).

That's not even the end of it- ALL next week I will be down in Ft. Belvoir taking a DAU class (Defense Acquisition University) called Acquisition 201 that specifically deals with cost estimating. I have already taken two "Acquisition" courses and one "Business, Cost Estimating, and Financial Management" online.

I never stop learning! It's like getting an MBA without getting an MBA.
