Got a BA and some Masters level work. Just because people stop going to school doesn't mean people stop learning.
.
I don't feel the need to further a formal education. Much of the stuff I learned informally are things like asset management, plumbing, gardening and auto repair.
I like the fact that if I wish to get a post graduate degree I can do so on the Internet.
I enjoy learning about different cultures, their languages and history. And of course keeping up with current events and technology.

I graduated High School and took some college courses.
I wanted to go further but I was my own worst enemy and was too lazy. If I had more self discipline I would have.
Stop sooner, no I wanted to keep going...
I was not inspired, I was lazy and undisciplined...

I graduated with a 3.8 GPA in High School. I wanted to go to college to be a dental hygienist but never did. I had very low self esteem. My parents didn't help me any at all. I ended up getting a minimum wage job and then I met my husband and had kids and never did go back to school.

Grade 12 in 1979, worked for years & went back to school part-time a couple years ago to pursue my dream...I'm 45.
I didn't have the confidence to go right after high school...but my dream didn't change...it's never too late.

8 years and counting. Need to stop, it doesn't help with deciding what I really want in life. I remember being more realistic at 17. And it costs $$$. (B.S. and now PharmD).
