Eight years in the Navy and lots of work. Always wanted to get a degree but don't know why now. Now I remember . . . it wasn't the degree I was thinking of, it was being around all them coeds!

BTW there is a factory here in China that makes scopes with the Leupold name. It just isn't the same Leupold. The Chinese government licensed the Leupold name to someone else in China. Leupold is suing through the world court.

(I've got pictures of much prettier Chinese women!)
 
My undergraduate degree is a BFA and my graduate degree is in psychology. What do I do for a living? I built custom furniture, then I was a house flipper, and now I am a bar owner. I am really doing a good job of wasting both degrees. :)


Damn, with the exception of the furniture trade, you're living my dream!

Worked full time in a number of profesions from 16-34, now I'm currentlly 1 semester away from my AAOT from Mt Hood. Next step is PSU to get to work on the Psych degree. The long term goal? Part time office hours with a bar in my name.
 
Degree in Biochemistry from the University of Manchester (England).
Joined the RAF after that.

Now I work as a technology consultant, so the degree itself served little purpose academically. It was all about the experience, and 3 years seniority in the RAF.
