Of course it counts!

Everything counts.

My degrees were important to me as neither of my parents read or write. I take care of all their "paperwork".

They only went to third grade, part time.

They are just as smart as I am, just no piece of ppr to prove it.
Dad can muddle through a newspaper with enough time. Mom can't at all.

AS in Liberal Arts (do you want fries with that?), credits for paralegal certificate, engineering, graphic arts, printing technology- can we say- I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up?

Along the way- 2 marriages- #1 was definitely a learning experience, #2 is a keeper! 7 kids, 3 courtesy of the other "Mom".

Now I'm a licensed title insurance agent for the Comm. of PA and own my own title agency.

I love learning- would love to be an Attorney. I'd say the best knowledge I've gained is the School of Hard Knocks. The time of being a single Mom and raising 2 little girls and starting over with nothing- life's lessons only needing to be learned once. Growing up poor contributed a great deal to my decisions, but at this point in my life, I am proud of what I have accomplished and have a wonderful spouse and children.

So maybe I don't have the degrees to go by my name, but I've succeeded in breaking some economic barriers I faced growing up.
