It was only once I started University that I actually figured out what I wanted to do with my life, and I'm damn happy I found that out. You have ignored this user.

eabeam Edited: 25-Nov-06 Member Since: 08/28/2001 Posts: 2180	I am first generation college. To my parents, it was a ticket to a better life. Hoenstly, for me, it was the only option in my mind at the time. However, now, I see that it was the best choice for me. If I could afford the pay downgrade, I would be a professor when I get my Ed.D. You have ignored this user.

I went to school when I was 18-19 dropped out cause I was hanging out with friends and partying way too much. Now, Im 25 and really dont want to be working in a call center or be a supervisor, so Im going back to school. Going back to get a degree in finance. You have ignored this user.
