That I should have asked for help when I was failing in high school, and subsequently might have been considered more than a hopeless case by parents, teachers and "guidance counselors" and been able to go to college.

It's my responsibility, but when I was too young to know better, I could have used some help.

So to answer your question directly: A college education is not an option but a necessity.

I'm 53, and I gathered my education in bursts. In my profession, I will never be finished with college. I love it.

You are cordially invited to attend!!!

:-)

"...when I was too young to know better, I could have used some help."

I second that emotion, big time!


And, JR, you know what I call teeth: God's failure.

I've done pretty well without a college education.

I think it depends much more on the person than the formal education.

Pshaw. I never graduated college yet make more money (and am likely more happy) than 95% of those who chose the traditional course and got their degrees.
