Very proud of my daughter. She got her degree in four years while working, made very good grades, and got her MBA two years later, again while working. It was hard but she worked very hard.

She's the exception. Most of those who earn a degree in four years fit one of the following categories:

  1. Mom and Dad are footing most, if not all, of the bill.
  2. They are is some category where somebody else is paying-- military academies, Indian tribe, volunteer to serve in a medically under-served area in return for tuition, etc.
  3. Unsustainable student debt.
  4. Majoring in some type of fluff studies where they can work full time as a coffee maker both before and after graduation.

My hat is off to your daughter for being one of the exception. One of my three took five years and then got her master's. Another took six because she needed to take time off to work and avoid the debt trap. Our youngest was right between, five and a half, for partly that reason and because she got married at 21 and also took a year off to work. Our grandson was born one month before her graduation.

The enemedia successfully convinced a large slice of the sheeple because Sarah Palin took seven years years to complete her degree, for much the same reasons as most of us.

Daughter dual enrolled in state college during high school and came out with an AA at HS graduation. She is 19 and at a major University now. Could graduate this spring but is stretching it out a year because she is enjoying college so much LOL!
