As a tech with only an Associates from my time in the AF (and a few failed college attempts), I can say that there are many MANY times my fellow techs and I have cursed Engineers very robustly . Just because it looks good on paper doesn't mean it works in the real world and I've long maintained that Engineers should be required to work as Techs before they're allowed to design anything.

That being said, I'm hoping to make it back to college (again again) soon to work towards my Bachelors in Computer Engineering (or Physics...whichever).



And as I'm just a young whippersnapper (albeit, not one of those 20yr olds who DD the S because they have to...) I didn't vote in the poll...

 

When do your classes start?

 

^Similar to my ex, Maury. He used to take care of fish for a lady who raised them. Then he built fish tanks and sold them when he was 14 to 16. He quit college after his AA but has made lots of money. He always started work early in the morning and worked hard and smart, owning his own electrical contractor business at 25. He is paying to be sure our two kids get all the education they want, though, probably a BS for Christa and maybe a PHd for Kyle.

I haven't figured out how to vote in this poll so I haven't voted yet. I attended several colleges early in life and have the equivalent of a BA but kept thinking I wanted to do something else. My ADD kept getting in the way. I began with accounting and quickly discovered I hated it so thinking I wanted to be a lawyer and decided to first be a paralegal so I could work my way through school. Then I got married and started a family and dropped out for a while. I took more college classes while I was an Investigator with Child Support Enforcement for many years. The travel and heavy case load kept me from completing anything more than about 2 more years of classes. I then switched jobs and fell back on my high school stenography classes and went to work for a college as an Executive/Legal Assistant to the Chancellor of a University and went back to school again part-time . . . oops along came child #2. I then decided to resume my paralegal studies but . . . oops then got a divorce. I'm now quite happy with my retired self and never finished anything I started. How am I supposed to vote? I have enough credit hours to have a bachelor's but not enough in anything to be anything but an old happy hippie.

 

^^^Then, in your case, Val, I would choose the last option. I think it fits you to a "T"! (Being an "old, happy hippie." )

 

Now that should be one of the options.

 

 

Here's a toast to all of us if-it-feels-good-do-it old Happy Hippies!!

 

Cheers!!!!
