3. My son is

34 and is 11 classes away from his. He works full time and goes to WSU part time, but he's getting there.

Congratulations! I know what an accomplishment this is for you.

So.....going for that doctorate next?

4. Undecided

I really wish I'd gotten my Master's in History. I might go back and dothat, and then maybe a PhD in History, but I'm not sure.

5. How long did it take for you to complete the degree?

I'm in grad school and am looking at a long road ahead...

[x-g.o.p.er]

7. 13 yrs for the undergrad,

another 10 for the Master's. I was on the fast track, ha ha. But I am definitely not the norm. Married, kids, in the military, and had to work around deployments, work, wife's work, raising kids, etc.

Obviously, never really went full time with the exception of my freshman year in college...which I pretty much flunked out of.

13. Wow

And here I've been worrying over the four years I have to put in. Well done!! :)

10. I know how hard that is to do while working

With any luck I will finish this semester, just weeks shy of my 40th birthday. I don't know whether to jump for joy or jump off a cliff!

[x-g.o.p.er]

11. Jump for joy off of a cliff!!!

[alarimer]

17. Well I guess I don't feel so bad about taking 7 years to finish then!

But actually that is the maximum amount of time you can use to get a degree. After 7 years, your classes stop counting and you have to take them over.

18. I had to get a waiver from my school

I was fortunate enough that they approved it, or I would be three classes away.

12. Is the last class

Home Economics?

'Cause if it is, dude, I could totally give you last year's final.

[x-g.o.p.er]

14. Nope, Graduate Research Project paper,

which is essentially writing my thesis.
I SO wish it was home ec.

15. That is so cool

Congratulations on your accomplishment.
