mulbahYesterday I watch an exam tutorial on the Linux+ certificate this is the link to the video ""https://youtu.be/niPWk7tgD2Q?si=Y4lE4f9ISG0Gw8wU""11:01
jelknerdcammue: let's talk a bit about your educational plans11:02
jelknerand your interest / need in earning salary11:02
dcammueOkay 11:02
jelknerglad mulbah is here for that too11:02
jelkneri guess most of this is a big conversation we can have during my visit next summer11:02
jelknerbut it might be helpful to have a little conversation now to get you thinking11:03
dcammueSure11:03
mulbah+111:03
jelknerwhen you told us in the meeting yesterday that you were going to not one, but two universities at the same time, i thought, really?!11:03
jelknerwhy do that? and, how can you possibly have time for anything else?11:03
jelkneri had this conversation with thomasboimah 11:04
thomasboimahYes!11:04
jelknerif he wants to earn the $400 per month as a full time salaried worker11:04
jelknerhe can only take 1 UoPeople class11:04
jelknerotherwise he won't have the time in a day to get full time work done11:04
jelkneri think his performance shows that11:05
jelknerhe has been incredibly productive11:05
jelknerand he is learning both in school and even more importantly, "on the job"11:05
jelknerits up to each of you what you want to do, of course11:05
jelkneri'm just looking for guidance in how i can help, and how i should focus my effort11:06
jelknerif you want to just keep studying, i won't worry about trying to get you paid11:06
jelknerif you want to get paid, we need to talk11:06
jelknerdo you get me?11:06
dcammueYes11:06
dcammue+111:06
jelknerso, dcammue, i need to know what you want11:07
jelkneryou are very responsible11:07
jelknerand you show up11:07
jelknerso i'd like to try to get you paid, but only if you want / need that11:07
jelknerbut if you do, we need to move directly toward getting you ready to earn revenue11:07
jelknerthat will require a lot of time11:07
jelknerso taking lots of classes at two different schools won't work11:08
jelknercan you tell me more about your thinking and planning?11:08
svayeI am so sorry, I am problem with the Internet. 11:08
dcammueAs for now,  as I rightly said,  I am attending two different universities. I did that because I was looking for some knowledge from the UoPeople class and some way to get the clear understanding of bookkeeping. 11:08
jelknerhow are you paying for the other university?11:09
dcammueBut I truly understand that this can no longer give me time to do other things as you rightly said. 11:09
dcammueSo I have a bit knowledge of bookkeeping and I am willing to pause one of the university to get the paid job 11:10
jelknerdcammue: as teacher i can tell you that school learning only takes you so far11:11
jelknerit is useful, but not at all sufficient11:11
dcammueThe university of Liberia is very cheap and is just 2,500 Liberian dollars per semester 11:11
jelkneris that cheaper than UoPeople?11:11
dcammueYes11:11
jelknerif so, maybe it makes more sense to just study there11:11
thomasboimahMore cheaper ;-)11:11
jelkneryou should ask mr. zawolo about that11:11
dcammueUopeople is about 30 some more thousand Liberian dollars 11:12
jelknerwow11:12
dcammueYes11:12
jelknerok, then we need to think about what makes the most sense given our limited resources11:12
thomasboimahBut to enter is difficult jelkner 11:12
jelkneryes, thomasboimah, but dcammue is already entered11:13
jelknerright?11:13
thomasboimahYes that's a plus for him11:13
jelknerso dcammue, it seems you should just take your classes at university of liberia11:14
jelknerdo they allow you to study 1/2 time there, so you can work full time while you do it?11:14
dcammueYes,  because at UoPeople you will not get teachers tell you this is the wrong decision you are making. Or this is how this works. But self encouragement and teaching 11:14
dcammueI go to class two times I a week11:15
dcammueTuesday and Thursday 11:15
jelknerthomasboimah: for you and gabriel, you have a full scholarship to UoPeople, right?11:15
jelknerso it is free for you11:15
svayedcammue: they do tell you at Uopeople when you're wrong or at least my instructors do.11:15
jelkneris that correct?11:15
thomasboimah+111:15
dcammueAllowing me to do my job perfectly 11:15
jelkneranyway, my main concern is that you look at your available options, and choose what makes the most sense11:16
jelknerthat's the skill we are all trying to learn anyway11:16
jelknerin everything we do hopefully11:16
jelknerdcammue: learning bookkeeping will most be done by *doing* bookkeeping11:16
jelkneri am stretched too thin, as usual11:17
dcammueYes11:17
jelkneri have been meaning to ask dcammue and svaye if they are keeping the Jetro books up-to-date in gnucash11:17
jelkneryou have a lot of new bookkeeping ideas now, for example11:18
jelknerhow to you account for the two month advance thomasboimah is taking?11:18
jelknerthat needs to show up in the books11:18
jelknerand how you track it will require understanding the bookkeeping concepts we need to learn11:18
dcammuePrepaid salary 11:18
jelknerprepaid salay and ?11:19
dcammueCash11:19
jelknersince you always need a credit and a debit to keep the equation in balance11:19
jelknernice dcammue 11:19
jelkneri am counting on you to teach me all of this!11:19
dcammueBut the cash will come from checking account 11:20
svayeI am sure we can do that in gnucash jelkner. dcammue will you do it? Or should I do it.11:20
jelkneryou can both do it together svaye 11:20
dcammueIf you want svaye 11:20
jelknerthat's why we set up the postgresql backend11:20
jelknerbut you need to do it11:20
svayedcammue: are you free this evening by 8pm?11:20
jelkneri plan to learn bookkeeping by watching you two learn bookkeeping for your own co-op11:21
dcammueAnd after the two months end, we need to do adjustment for the prepaid salary 11:21
jelkneryes, dcammue 11:21
jelknernice!11:21
dcammueOr as one month ends11:21
dcammueWhich will carry new account like salary expense11:22
