I regret that I never had the discipline when I was younger to get an accredited degree. I've been very fortunate to work for companies where experience and common sense was just as important as a degree, and I've moved up the ladder more quickly than some degreed folks, but I know that's a thing of yesteryear.
I told my boys that I would pay for them a Bachelor's Degree, and if they wanted to continue after that, they were on their own! We will let them live at home and help them as much as we can, but I'm going to make SURE that they get their bachelors!
My son is interested in getting an apprenticeship, but my daughter is looking at getting a Masters. I told her I would support her through a Bachelors, which she will have in about 2 1/2 years after graduation. She's starting college classes next spring, and the plan is for her to have over 40 hours of college by the time she graduates high school.
It's possible for her to have her Masters in just over four years after graduation. She's excited about that.
I told my son that I would support him through his apprenticeship as well. I want them both to be successful, and not waiting for years like I did to get an education.

Me too, that is one of the biggest regrets I have in life. I know that I still could do it, and I really want to. I have an Aunt who is about 12 years older than I am (almost 40) who just started college to become a teacher! I am just really terrified of it, my attention span has been really poor the last few years. I am seriously considering being tested for adult ADD. Does anybody know much about that?
I'm sorry, were you saying something.......?
