I had a few paragraphs written out but I decided not to post so much information. I am in Ireland right now. I found some old HN threads and found http://omscs.gatech.edu/. I am researching into that at the moment.

I am big into self improvement now and I am constantly learning. My thoughts are if I am learning, why not earn that piece of paper while doing it?

I think I am most interested in the following areas: text analysis, data retrieval and analysis, AI and machine learning, analytics, and security.
