Ugh. I'm not sure.
I was one of those people who returned to college to obtain my degree after working several years. I was so excited and raring to go and was sure that the second time around would be the charm because I finally knew what I wanted to do and I was so focused.
Unfortunately, the real world intruded on my plans and put a damper on things. I ran into some totally unexpected financial setbacks and struggled like heck. The stress and crazy schedule took its toll too. I have to admit that sometimes I said to myself, "Why the heck did I think going back to school would be such a great idea?"
I love learning for the sake of learning and would go to school indefinitely and obtain degree after degree, as long as I didn't have money to worry about. Otherwise, being out of school can be so much better!
