    I've been awarded an Associate of Science degree from Ashland Community College. I know its not a big deal for most, but it is in my family.

    Next up is my Bachelors degree. I should have that in a year and a half.






    Congrats...and keep up the good work![8D]

    Congrats. You understand that everyone here on Gun Broker will now consider you to be an over educated elitest, out of touch with the common man working at the widget factory.

    Way to go!

    Community College, then bachelors is a prudent way to go. You'll gave a perceptive of the value of an education that someone who spends four years at a university doesn't see. I found that the junior college instructors are superior than MOST college instructors.

    See it through to the end!

    Don't forget to add his name to our roll of elitists and despots and have him bring a salad to next months meeting. I hope Lynn is making another pot roast [:p].

    Well, not all of us.

    I hope this don't mean I have to start treating you with a little respect now. [:D]
    Congratulations. I'm proud of you. Onward and upward. [:)]

    Congrats, really. That's fantastic. I dropped out of a Architecture degree for a semester to get married, never went back. Now I've landed a job that's too good to leave, but I still wish I would have continued.

    CONGRATS!

    Congratulations. Took me 14 years to complete my AS. Of course, I dropped out for 12 years.

    Does Geography count? [:D]

    I worked for too long in a degree program that I honestly had no interest in: biology. I hated it and, quite frankly, I sucked at it. I only picked it because I figured the money was good. Now I'm doing something I enjoy and am doing well enough to get a pretty good research grant.

    If the job market doesn't take kindly to me, I can always rejoin Uncle Sam's Misguided Children [;)]

    college degrees are great for self improvement. worthless for making money. a secretary makes more $$ than you will, and has been the whole time you've been spending time and $ in college.

    goooood luck.

    Congrats! I find that the people that knock higher education are those without it. I started at community college too. Education is what seperates us from the animals (and illegal immigrants)

    2 thumbs up!

    You need at least a BSME to flip burgers at the Jack in the Box where I work.

    If you have a Masters, you get to hold the dust pan.
