[QUOTE="velocicaur, post: 16406072, member: 33335"] Thanks for the replies. It's just something that has been eating at me for the last... 17 years now? Of course, I don't know what it will feel like when I would finish but I think the amount of pressure and stress that I put on myself would be a huge relief. It certainly wouldn't be for current job prospects and perhaps not even long term. I definitely won't hop into an office job or something like that. It's something that would be put behind me and I'll always have it for later. I could always jump into a future master's degree or something without having to put in all the BS requirements when transferring schools. I know I mentioned psychology because that is the path of least resistance in finishing the degree. The majority of my credits are in math, stats, chemistry (these courses are not offered in the summer/specific course sequence requirements so it would take MUCH longer) and things of that nature. I should easily be able to transfer into a master programs in one of those fields with little additional work if I ever decide to go that route. I'm definitely not doing it now, but who knows what life will be like in 10 years. I've been working general bitch jobs for the last few years. I was doing landscaping for a few years but the pay is dreadful and there aren't many benefits. I recently got a job as a custodian which has fantastic benefits but again, the pay just isn't there. I recently got put into a new building where I have to clean 55 bathroom stalls and 25 urinals... it is nasty. I think I'm going to go back to landscaping this summer when things open up again. These jobs are hard on the body and it's another reason to finish school off now. I can still handle it now but I know I'll be over it in another 10 years. I have 30 credits to go. It'll be about 16000 in tuition (30*~540). Toss in another 1k for books. I should get about 5k in Pell grants so we're looking at about 12k overall. It is a decent chunk of change but it isn't the end of the world. I definitely agree that looking into starting a business and such is the way to go. I don't have many marketable skills and my personality for it is...lacking (anxiety/depression/awkward). I can see myself getting into the real estate business. I say getting back into because my family used to be in it. We had about 80 units but sold them off back in ~2003 which is unfortunate. Well, it was great at the time but a terrible decision in hindsight. They would almost be paid off and generating about 30k/mo and worth about 5-6 million in assets. I wouldn't have had to work again... what could have been. [/QUOTE]
