Degrees don't always mean a better paying job. I was a teacher with a degree and three certifications in my field; and some of my friends with high school education made a whole lot more money than I did. I wouldn't have traded their job for mine. I had the "Mrs." degree and a "mom" degree and was happy in my job. It was a great job for a mom. I could go on, but you get my gist.

I didn't know you could be a Master Quilter. I am always learning new things and have so much left to learn. I guess if you earn that title, you know it all. Me? I am a Jak of all trades. Master of none. hehehe!!

...and then there are programs that offer certification in Master Quilting. Maybe she took one of those?

It wasn't a passion of the career for me as it is for you and many others. I have the utmost respect for those with a passion for their job. I decided if I was going to waste six years of my life getting initials after my name I was getting one that had the potential to make the most money in the shortest amount of time so I could quit faster. That was my only goal. :-)

I thought a quilt master was some kind of machine.

yep..not easy, nor for the faint of heart..and not something usually touted like it were a Doctrine or something!
