So, why do you even care?

First time I have ever had a decent explanation from a KU grad as to what it was...it is clear that you were an exceptional scholar! (Either that or a frat boy who had to learn it during hell week..)

Actually, I dropped out

Actually, I dropped out

I.e., started getting a real education.

Yeah, that being "The world sucks."

I'm going back to school but not KU. Too big.

And considering what college goes for, and the uncertainty that the degree will even get you a job at the "traditional" age for students... it can in some ways be more sensical to get a job and then go get the degree when you can afford it, and when you know you can actually use it at work.

This is why I haven't got my Bachelor's yet. I wanted to get some practical, real-world experience within my field (and thus, out of retail). It was a pain as it was to get my Associate's.

Big schools can be harder. I went to a Community College for my lower levels and am glad I did as I would have been lost at K-State. But it proves that you're an exceptional scholar because you knew what Rock Chalk meant...

Good luck with going back. And I agree that sometimes it helps to wait because you then will know what you want.
