Congrats though on your hard work and perseverance. Keep it up.
I aspire to be the person that works his way up to an awesome position so that i can tell people, "yea, a diploma/degree is helpful...but don't let that piece of paper define you. This is america after all...you build your own success...you make your own destiny"

Haha, thanks Xavion. And yes, I think that may have been part of what drove me. All through school, everyone always said that without a degree you can't amount to anything. Teachers, counselors, parents... I called "bullshit" at an early age, and I've done everything I could to prove them wrong. I don't want to go back to college because of the paper at the end of the maze... I want to go back because of the maze itself. I LOVE learning... anything and everything that I can glean out of life is just an added success in my eyes. Of course, I'd never NOT get my degree with the opportunity, but even now it's not my primary focus. Without that degree, I have a good job, a family, a nice apartment, two cars and two dogs. What more could I really ask for?
At any rate, good luck Xavion!
