Forensic Psychology. Definitely helps me pick up Meth Barbies in bars. Studied wound ballistics as well, so, I guess if they've been whacked with a 9mm, I can make conversation, too.

Nope, just a lowly class A CDL.
But I have a pretty good time most of the time! Driving this big rascal around can be enjoyable.  Attached FileWife, however, has a BS from LSU and a MS from U of MD. We make about the same amount of money. She just does it in about a third of the time it takes me. |

Nope.
I went to college for 5 years, but was a screwup for most of it, just meandering. Never graduated and just stopped going. Got a job in IT, which had nothing to do with any of the 5 majors I pursued at any given time. That was 27 years ago. |

Nope. Started right out of high school in an IT job. Had a few other jobs outside of IT, but found my way back in 1998, and have been ever since. Longest run was from 1998 to 2020. Lifetime of personal and job experience is worth quite a bit.

Nope.
I went, on a full scholarship no less. I ended up with a clinical depression and ADHD diagnosis instead of a degree. I started to go back a few years later once I had figured out how to function as an adult, but it ended up just not making sense for me. I was already making great money doing what I wanted to do, and changing industries from transportation to tech came with both significantly higher pay and no requirement for a degree. At this point, I've taught more college classes than I've taken. |

Nope.
I was way too anxious to be an adult, get a career, build a house, and start a family. Everything went to plan pretty damn well. Career started at 21, married and house built at 22, first kid at 24, second at 28. |

University of Maryland University College, in residence, in England.
The name is slightly worrying, but I actually had to work for the degree. They weren't doing pay your fee, get your "B" back in the day. Post grad was Embry-Riddle. Both served me well during my working life. |

I met a 19 year old guy at the weekly car show last evening. He really wants to get into automotive performance (not just power, but suspension setups, etc) and seems to have a huge interest and understanding of physics. He enjoys tuning his WRX to make it handle exactly how he wants it to. From what he told me, his dad isn't the type to do anything but buy a new vehicle every few years and drive it, so he's definitely not taking after his dad. Kinda the opposite of me. I'm pretty much v2.0 of my dad. Which is why I buy a lot of tools and don't pay people labor to fix things that I know I can do, or at least figure out.
It was refreshing to see young person not interested in going the college route, but wants to get into a trade that uses his hands, and his mind. I can see him being successful. He's not as nerdy as Sheldon (big bang theory) and has at least better people skills, and reminds me of myself in his ability to talk about something he's interested in for hours. Wodstock didn't really care for that. |

I went to college, and later dropped out because it wasn't for me.
I have no student debt or consumer debt. Everything is paid for. And I pulled in $146,000 last year. I will soon have a paid for house on an acreage with a shop, and all the toys in my early 30s. |
