20 years in school.
The last class for the master's was tonight. Between my certification classes, reading endorsement and grad school, I've been in classes since 2004, and in total half my life not counting kindergarten.

Now for twenty years of thoughtlessness. I've got a lot of time to make up. :)

1. Holy crap! I don't want to do anything I LIKE for 20 years.
College diplomas are the most expensive pieces of paper ever!

Congratulation, though. It is a great accomplishment.

5. I love it
That's total schooling.... I've taken years off at a time. I got all of my degrees by doing things that I love. I wish I didn't have to stop. If I can't get a job with this PhD, I may seriously go back for another or a master's in a different topic.
