I dropped out of college twice; the first time when I was 20 and then again at 25. I only started going to "get a good job and make good money".
On my list of goals, today I wrote finish school. I don't know how many credits I am short of the business degree I was working towards. That's all insignificant at this point. I WILL NOT take another accounting class or quantitative reasoning or anything that I could use in the practical world to make money.
I don't want to study anything that's "lucrative". I want to learn for the sake of learning. I want to expand my scope of the world. AND, I want a fukking piece of paper to hang on the wall that says I did it.
I know that last part is dumb and that through the internet I have access to all the worlds information for much less than college costs. I have dreams about school quite often. There is unfinished business there for me. I think that for me to be at peace with myself it needs to be done.
So, pretty soon ole DL is going to be on his way to a degree in history or literature or some such rubbish that will undoubtedly never come close to yielding any sort of ROI.
