I lost the will to continue and grades were bad. I had about 1.5 semesters left. I worked for several years and then felt I needed to finish (math major , minor CS) only I had to change schools. The new one did not recognize any of my “prerequisite” courses from the old school. So instead of needing to take a hand full of classes I had to take an extra year worth of filler classes. I was going at night part time so this took years to do. I finally finished and within a short time I was promoted and my salary was doubled. Be young that many other doors opened much more easily. I had not been thinking that the lack of a degree was a big hinderance, and I’m in no way suggesting that lack of a degree makes you less skilful. It just appears that having the degree meant more to others than I expected. What I found on this journey is I was a lot more focused the second time around. Compared to work, school was easy and actually enjoyable.YMMV |

What jobs did you do during those years before going back to school?
Thx for sharing your story!
