Poll question: College or not?
I've noticed that I seem to be a minority here. There seems to be a lot of you that attended college. I played music and worked in a factory when I turned 18. I eventually ended up as an Electrical Engineer, but I was wondering how many of you went to college after high school.

4. That's great!
Congrats. I graduated high school in 83 so I can understand how much this means to you.

5. I hated school when I had to go, I certainly wasn't volunteering for more.
So what did I do? I joined the Electricians Union and went to school for 5 years and earned a degree in engineering. Best part is they paid me to go to school instead of the other way around.

6. Graduated H.S. in '75, got married, had a kid
worked my ass off for 18 years. Went back to college in 1993 and got my Bachelor's Degree in 1998 at the age of 41. The proudest accomplishment in my life and one of the happiest days of my life (it's MY academy award) :-)
