Just the fact that he could afford to go back to school without selling those cars… wow…

I gave up on my music performance degree in favor of accounting/finance (I came from a very poor family and realized that neither music nor my family would ever pay my bills) - and as much as I fantasize about being able to go back and finish it ‘someday’, I don’t even think a whole career in my field would ever pay for that. Not after paying back my student loans and acquiring a house.

I’d have to hit the lotto. 😔

I went back in my mid 20’s after not being able to get any loans to continue with school. Now I have to work full time while I do full time classes. My manager at my job graduated high school a year after me and has like 5 years experience in his field already. It’s rough, but I’m doing so much better in school this time around, averaging a 3.8 GPA the last 3 semesters so far!!

I am set to graduate this December. I was supposed to graduate in 2008. My degree is older than most of the folks in my classes and who will be graduating next to me.

In 2007 I had a 2.0 GPA, now I am getting 4.0 every semester, and am on track to admission into some pretty good MBA programs.

Its not about how fast you get it done, its about getting it done! GO KNIGHTS!
