[QUOTE="Bullwinkle, post: 394442, member: 1096"] I got out of HS back in the day mostly because the teachers didn't want to deal with me for another year. got drafted, got married, went to one of those 'computer programming' tech schools.. after a few computer operator jobs I moved up to systems programmer because they saw that I was interested and was always one step behind them when there was a problem. stayed 5 years and them was asked to take another job by someone I had known at the first job. stayed over 10 years and the same thing happened an old manager asked me to join him starting up a new IBM system for a hospital from the ground up. stayed there 25 years before retiring. in our small tech group we had 6 people. one had a PhD in something he had never actually done, one had an MBA that he had never used, the female in the group had a master in performance music, both the others has some kind of 4 year degree. I was the only one with just a HS education and did the same highly technical work they did. but, if I would have had a better education particularly writing and grammar it sure would have made all the report writing much easier and cleaner. in my free time these days I take literature and history classes I'll never get a degree becuase I'm only interested in what I'm interested in.
