That was my mistake, madam--but I was young and green in judgement, a sallow youth. I figured that getting that degree in history was enough of an "end," after which only good things would happen, and effortlessly too.

I had to grow up in a hurry.

I don't regret getting a B.A. in the history of the British Empire and Commonwealth--it has surely provided me with much intellectual satisfaction--but as for putting food on the table, well.....

Whenever I read the DUmmie FUnnies on Free Republic--the democraticunderground is the whacked-out counterpart to the more-sober Free Republic, I am constantly reminded of myself when I was in college, thinking that all I had to do was so much, after which life would be a piece of cake.

Bah, humbug.

You must have lively discussions with MadIvan and some of the other English posters!

I have regretted not finishing college; mostly because it has kept me from pursuing further educational opportunities. My husband was a great distraction to me back then! But the great thing about this country and being a conservative, I still have time to pursue those things when I have completed my current obligations. Namely raising and educating my younger kids. My youngest starts first grade in September; I plan to head back to college to finish my pre-med degree when he is nearly done with his schooling. I will be the oldest med school applicant in history!

Personally, I have a theory that higher education makes you stupid.

I have 6 years of higher education, and being born a genius I am now fairly average.

In two years time, I'll probably reach the DUmmie stage, and be ready for my new proffession:

Journalist :-)

Cheers.
