So it’s now about 6 months after I left school and I can now see some of the differences between having an education and not having one. The biggest difference is money. Yep, over the course of the last 6 months I have come to realize that I am in the very bottom spectrum in [...]
So here I am 3 months after my decision to quit school. Where am I? How are things? do I regret it. Here is the break down: Time – my time has now focused more on my family and that strain has been eliminated – this is a good thing and I (and my family) [...]
When I was in school I bought one of the books I needed from Amazon.com and am apparently on “the list”. Anyway, I just received this email about their contest for 1 free year of text books or tuition. Sounds good – if you win. The email: Dear Amazon.com Customer, As someone who has purchased [...]
