8. There was some guy in Wisconsin who took years and years
and years, but he was getting paid for staying in school and writing about it. He kept changing his major to stay in. Is that you?

9. no - persistence - learning to never give up - yes I picked many majors
I have never known what I want to be or do, so each time I started it was something different. Since then I have gotten other degrees and even if I change my mind, I stick to it until the end - it has given me a sense of accomplishment - the structure of school was hard for me - I love learning but the rules are so strict and grades just discourage me - so I am learning to stick to it no matter what - would have been better to do it many years ago - but as they say - just do it

3. She should authorize the schools to release her grades...
...so that the public knows whether she flunked out.

6. Don't you have to earn a certain number of credit hours from a school
before they give you a degree - like almost half of them? What's to stop someone from going to some little college somewhere and then transferring in their last semester or two to Harvard or Yale and then saying you 'graduated' from there? I don't think it 'works' like that.
