Nothing in life says that you have to have a four year degree to be a success. One of my best friends has never gone to college, but because he is intelligent and skilled makes $80,000 a year doing what he loves.

I would like to have a four year degree eventually...but I'm setting my own pace, and doing it slower than most people. My parents may not be thrilled with this, but I am. I have realistic goals that make me challenge myself but not stress or burn myself out. If it takes me a few extra years to meet those goals, big deal!

I am using that time to save money, and enjoy myself.

Now then, I'm off to study for my anthropology project...
