I'm I the only one who hasn't finished school or hasn't gone to school?
I was just curious. I haven't finished because I got pregnant and I'm taking a break. I just wanted to know that I'm not alone so I don't feel as bad and like i'm a failure which I know I'm not but I still feel bad. sorry for the rambling.

Re: I'm I the only one who hasn't finished school or hasn't gone to school?
I think its just really late- I am sure there are some of you out there. My mom finished her Master's after having us- my sister was 5 when she started college. So stop beating yourself up- you just are doing it differently!
I wish I had a baby so you can't have everything.

My wife never finished college. So its not that bad. She may eventually go back though.
And my wife actually has a job she likes!

Tania!!!!
you are NOT a failure!!! having a college degree isnt what constitutes success- Look at Bill Gates- he dropped out of college, and he makes more in a week then i'll make in a lifetime!

Tanie, don't be silly, sweetie!!!
I haven't finished yet, either. As a matter of fact, I've decided that I *REALLY* don't want to continue in the program I was in. I'm working full time and plugging through school...I hate it.

I never went...sometimes I regret it, but for the most part I don't think about it. I really like my job and am very happy with my life.

Re: I'm I the only one who hasn't finished school or hasn't gone to school?
I got PG my first year of college and never went back. I will hopefully once Anthony starts school
ETA: Not for my career but for myself. That was a goal I had set for myself that is important to me to follow through.

Re: I'm I the only one who hasn't finished school or hasn't gone to school?
I never finished college....was almost there and had some family issues that caused me to start working instead.
I have been very lucky in my career and haven't really been hindered at all without it and i have no desire to go back. I can't even stand the though of homework..icky

Re: I'm I the only one who hasn't finished school or hasn't gone to school?
I went for a year. Couldn't handle the stress I put myself through (all self induced) I never went back. I love my job but wish I had more pay.... My fault though cause my boss is a tight wad.

Re: I'm I the only one who hasn't finished school or hasn't gone to school?
I dropped out of college. I don't even have a good reason. I guess I just figured that ultimately a degree in music from a small school in Tn. was not going to help me get a job on broadway.

Me too...it's in my plans but I don't feel like a failure for not having finished. I do know that I could make a lot more...but life wasn't so easy and I had to postpone...
A degree does not make a person's soul or spirit any better. A lot of the people I admire or look up to are college dropouts yet are hugely succesful and extremely insightful.

Re: I'm I the only one who hasn't finished school or hasn't gone to school?
You are not a failure.... Just finish at your own pace if you really want to go back. Like someone said degrees don't consitute success. I have to two degrees and still don't really have a career.

Re: I'm I the only one who hasn't finished school or hasn't gone to school?
I never went to college...and there are times when I do regret it...but, in all honesty, where my life is now, I like it and a college degree wouldn't do me any good!!!!! I'm getting ready to have my first child and have no plans on going back to work.
After HS, I went to work for a large insurance company in NYC and worked my way up the ladder...my experience meant more to that company than any college degree ever will!!!!

Re: I'm I the only one who hasn't finished school or hasn't gone to school?
I attempted to go back for my masters...but only lasted one semester.
I couldn't continue the following semester because of some personal matters that needed my attention.
I want to attempt and go back again this January...I just hope this time everything works out and I stay focused and finish....I would hate to waster $$ on school and not finish.

Re: I'm I the only one who hasn't finished school or hasn't gone to school?
I know exactly how you feel I got pregnant at 17 and I am lucky to even have a HS diploma l I never went to college because I had to get one crappy job after another and then I met DH and he works and we have a 4 yr old together so I am a stay at home mom. I do really worry about what happens when I have to go back into the workforce without college

Re: I'm I the only one who hasn't finished school or hasn't gone to school?
You're not alone. I have 2 degrees that I'm doing nothing with, meanwhile my brother only went to college for a semester and dropped out. Well, he is making more than 3X what I'm making and I'm making a decent salary.

Re: I'm I the only one who hasn't finished school or hasn't gone to school?
Until recently I didnt even realize the potential of salary you could make for instance I thought in order to make big $$$ you had to be lawyer,doctor etc but I just found out that my BIL who is a CPA makes a 6 figure salary SCHOOL is sounding so much better to me now

This is me too..... I have a degree and am working in a job that I don't even need it, my brother dropped out for awhile and has a GREAT paying job... I enjoyed college, he didn't ... were both doing fine (he actually started going back just this fall, but it had nothing to do with being unhappy, he just wanted to give it another try.)

Re: I'm I the only one who hasn't finished school or hasn't gone to school?
I am still working on my degree. Its hard since I always found great paying jobs that kind of fell into my lap. I don't have a single career goal. DH is in school now, I feel like if I went now as well, I would never see him.
I will go back since I only have a few classes left and get a lib. arts degree once DH is done. But I think I want to go to hair school. Always took an intrest in it.
It always drove my parents crazy, I let my scholarship go to stay with DH. All I wanted to be was Mrs. O###.
My grandmother has her BA in Home Economics from Hunter. She was a SAHM with 9 kids. My grandfather always said she was a real career woman. She ran the house like a sucessful business.
