That was interesting, wasn’t it? I do not have my ‘sheepskin.’ I am a few credits shy of a BA in Business.
However, after retiring from the Army at age 37, I’ve managed two companies, both of which had sales of $2 Million each. I’ve looked into finishing it, but it hasn’t been financially feasible to me because I wouldn’t make all that much more with it...and if I did, any extra would go to taxes, anyway! Both jobs had stellar health care plans for myself and Husband who has pre-existing medical condition considerations.
Husband is self-employed; we need me to work for now for the health insurance. He’s expensive to keep alive, but he’s worth it. ;) If worse comes to worst, I can move into a VA Hospital. I’m not proud. ;)
I guess common sense, a stellar work ethic, being a master at multi-tasking and basic accounting skills can go a long way in this world. And I learned ALL of those skills in the Army. :)
