Whoo hoo! I am so smart! S-M-R-T....

Well, guys, when I retired from Dow 2 1/2 years ago, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to go back to college and get a degree in a new field. After something like 30 classes in law, HR, finance, statistics, event management, accounting, business development, etc..., after 15 group projects, 21 research papers, and countless hours of study, I have done it, I'm a graduated! A B.S. in Hospitality management

He don' need no degree to do that. I'm older than you, but you don't remember?

True, but it would be hosted by a professional, this time.

Hmm, good point.

Does that mean we have to pay him?

Ha! One thing I learned in college--I should make money from this!

So my fullest respect goes to the >30 generation who havr the self-motivation and discipline to get some further education.

(while responding it happened for the first time that I got a blue screen on my 7 system, hope that's not a bad sign

)

I completed the first two years in 96-98, while working in the chemical plant (with wife and kids to take care of, too!).

I started my last two years in 2008 and just went to school full time, fall-spring-summer-fall spring-summer-fall, for 2 1/2 years. I worked part time from April '10 until July '10, when I took a second job and worked 7 days a week until Nov '10.

So, I got to experience all extremes.
