I finished high school and meant to continue, but I had children instead. I don't even want to go back now, I am learning by following my interests, and it is suiting me so much better than "education" ever did.

I'm working on a BS in CS. I'll be done in about a year. More school after that? Probably not.

Piled higher and deeper. It let me stay a kid for a bit longer, and find a job where I could get a mortgage on a house.

I voted high school. However I have had 2 years of college before I got pregnant with my daughter and got to sick to attend classes and dropped them all. I'm going back though hopefully this coming spring. Otherwise by fall for sure. I started out thinking of nursing because I wanted to go to medical school. Still considering that but changed to Early Childhood Education after a year because I read it doesn't matter what you major is to get into med school, as long as you do good in your science classes. Now after being a preschool teacher I know that is not the career for me I only had 8 kids(2 yr olds) and couldn't imagine 20-30 even if they were older. No thanks, I'll pass. So my plan is to go back for music recording(which I started on and really enjoyed) because I love music. But I dunno about a major yet. I'd like to go into sound engineering and/or record producing but I still think of medicine just all those years of school and having my daughter I'd feel like I missed out on too much. Lately been thinking of majoring in Computer Science and minor in the music recording which I could get a certificate diploma or something or other but still having the associates(and later bachelor) would be helpful too.

I put myself down as high school graduate even though I'm still at highschool. There's only a few required classes I have left to take, everything else is extra.

My plan for college is a double major in Computer Science and Math (and maybe a minor in Japanese).

I have 168 college hours (yes, all passing; most A's and B's), and no degree at all. Maybe I ought to scrape some of them together into a coherant degree program and take a cap-stone? Seems logical, doesn't it...
