By all accounts it has been 10 years since I started my degree so I should be a Doctor by now. There were alot of detours in my life though that prevented me from just getting it done. It has been only 2 weeks since I graduated though and I was already offered a job. I had been unemployed for a while and then finally settled on a job at a hotel. I hated it because my schedule was all over the place even sometimes the overnight shift…crappy pay too. Now I have a Mon-Fri job I’m paid 5.00 an hour more than I was making, I get my benefits the day I start working, and there is tons of growth potential…if I hadn’t gotten my degree I would not have been given this wonderful opportunity. Definitely finish your degrees and quickly every little bit that sets you apart is helpful. 22 months ago
