I dropped out of high school, and later went back to a work-at-your-own pace high school, but left before finishing the required credits. Then I dual-enrolled in a junior college, but lost interest and left to pursue other interests.
Later, after stumbling into a computer career, I got my GED and re-enrolled in junior college. Started on a two-year networking degree. My plan was to finish
something before looking for a new job.
Later on I realized that none of these credits would transfer to a University for a full degree, so I started taking core curriculum. Around this time
the recruiters started calling me. I found some
certificates I could acquire quickly.
But, before I had a chance to even finish my certificates, my dream job opened up. Now I am entirely too busy to do any academic studying--however, the job is teaching me more than any college degree ever could (and in fact,
there is no degree available for my field.)
So, basically, I have a GED.
I do plan to finish up on some of this stuff, some day.
