Well, I have no degree. It occured to me that I was way too smart for school, so left and married at 17. That's another story...I did get my GED at 41 and I am an Oklahoma Master Florist. (Mother & Grandma too!) So proud for your education, just didn't happen for me.

I started college at 16 and also had a double degree available with extra courses I took. I would go back to school in a minute just to learn. There is a college in Wetherford that has quilting classes now. That's a thought.

WEnt back and got my Masters in Nursing. Wish I stuck with it but change courses in my life.
University of TExas @ Arlington.
Texas HEalth SCience School of Nursing on campus.

Then again I would give this all up for more common sense and not book smarts. LOL

But the book smart ones run the hospitals :)

I have an associates degree in nursing and am soon to finish my BSN (hopefully)Before that I was an LPN about 14 years.

AA Liberal Arts
AS Accounting
BS Business / Accounting

Took me 16 years to finish them, with only 2 semesters off in all those years. Lots & lots & lots of night classes. I graduated in 1993 on a 1977 catalog!

I have BA in Psychology, 2 teaching credentials (k-12 and Special Education) and a MA in Education. So, with all that, what do I do? I am an assistant at middle school, working with ESL students. Go figure! It's about doing what you love, right?

I have a BS and BA in Math and German, and an MA in Education. Taught for a few years, then had kids and was a SAHM. Decided I didn't really want to teach, went back to school for accounting classes, and sat for and passed the CPA exam. That was hard. Felt like I gave up 6 months of my life. But,those initials after my name got me an accounting job. I retired from that just over one year ago.
