[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1697404, member: 4319"] I refused to go even though kind folks offered to pay for most of it. I didn't want to be dependent for several more years, and I was lucky enough to have a decent job out of high school and sock away some cash, buy land, build a house and basically establish myself. Part of me wishes I would have got it over with starting at 18. A bigger part of me is glad I got established and became independent with the route I chose, and I think if I do decide to go back to school it will be purely to increase my happiness, not to make money or "get that paper to get that job". I also had no idea what I wanted to do at 18, so odds are I would have regretted whatever education choices I made. In fact, odds are 100% I would have regretted them. I'm I'm still young and the odds are fairly high I will go to school as an adult. I just played the hand I was dealt and I'm grateful it worked out. Funny/sad thing is the only careers I would ever go to school for would pay less than what I make now. (Teaching would be at the top of the list). But money has never been a motivator to me. [/QUOTE]
