I've heard about a lot of success stories about people who never even set foot on college. What was special about them?
Is your college degree a good advantage in your work? And in your life?
I graduated early this year, I took Computer Science. I'm currently a training Database Admin. I'm having lots of fun. As important as my computer courses, I like my core subjects - I think Philosophy had a huge impact in how I perceive life.
What about you?

Well I am a graduate of nursing and I think, though I'm still unemployed, its well worth it. I went to college not to just get a degree. Getting a degree was just icing on the top of my goals in college. I went to college to make myself into a better person, and I do think I did become a better person, well better than who I was anyway. I'm more inclined to health nowadays and I also know how to be more compassionate and be an advocate of the people around me. Though pressure within the family is high since I am a nurse, I think of it this way, no diamonds are made without pressure. Over all I do believe that all my subjects were well worth it and all the hardships that molded me into who I am now were just right. I am a nurse, unemployed yet proud of who I am.
