[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 2655619, member: 13337"] I went back for a Bachelor's and teaching credentials when I was 46 years old. Early in my undergraduate studies I got a student worker job in a computer lab,,, I turned what was just feeding printers into a sort of help desk,,, In short I made myself very valuable to the lab. When I got the BS I started in for my Masters still working at the lab,,, But now I was a graduate assistant assisting the faculty use the on-line classroom. Three years later when I graduated with the Master's,,, They took my grad assistant job and made it a full-time position,,, I worked very hard making myself invaluable and it turned into a career for me. Now, what fueled me? 10 oz. Bud draws for 75 cents apiece at Joseppi's Italian Kitchen in Stillwater,,, $3.75 for five beers and $1.25 tip pretty much every weeknight. Oddly enough I never wen out on weekends. I got up at 4:30 every weekday morning,,, I did my studying then when my brain was fresh,,, After classes and 6-8 hours on the job I just wanted to relax,,, And Joseppi's provided the cheap beer and a nice chair to do that in. I lived in a tiny efficiency apt,,, One 10 by 12 room with a tiny kitchenette. I'll retire in about 41 months,,, Or I might decide to keep on working. But that's how I got here,,, And how I did it.
