I really wish I'd gotten my Master's in History. I might go back and dothat, and then maybe a PhD in History, but I'm not sure.

7. 13 yrs for the undergrad, |
|
another 10 for the Master's. I was on the fast track, ha ha. But I am definitely not the norm. Married, kids, in the military, and had to work around deployments, work, wife's work, raising kids, etc.

Obviously, never really went full time with the exception of my freshman year in college...which I pretty much flunked out of.

10. I know how hard that is to do while working |
|
With any luck I will finish this semester, just weeks shy of my 40th birthday. I don't know whether to jump for joy or jump off a cliff!

17. Well I guess I don't feel so bad about taking 7 years to finish then! |
|
But actually that is the maximum amount of time you can use to get a degree. After 7 years, your classes stop counting and you have to take them over.

18. I had to get a waiver from my school |
|
I was fortunate enough that they approved it, or I would be three classes away.
