Graduated from high school in 1979, waited a year before going to college, graduated college 1985, then waited another few years and started working on a Masters Degree at Boston University----never completed that but finished 18 credits towards it before returning to Nebraska.
In 1992 I went back and got an Associate's Degree in Medical Assisting in one year, and I've been working for an Ophthalmologist (eye doctor with a medical doctor's degree) ever since.
A two-year technical program was more beneficial to me than the four-year college degree was! I finished the two-year program in one year, because the first year credits transferred from my college transcript.
