well congrats, it's a hard thing to do nowadays. Hell, I gave up after my AS, and wish i continued still want too. Hard to do though with Full time job. Hope you finish your bachelors, that'd be awesome too!

thanks a lot. it will probably take me another 4-5 yrs to finish. it sucks using all my vacation to make it to class, and no sleep for a couple of days because i work nights and go straight to school in the morning and right back to work after school... im looking forward to a little break before going back, though...

my condition of employment required me have my degree complete within two years, or i lose my job. May 14th makes the two year mark. i barely made it. i was getting damn nervous knowing i was so close to losing my house and everything else...

Congrats man!! I hear ya on the fulltime working and getting a degree.

I graduate from ITT tech with an associates in science in electrical engineering in september. It sucks working from 5am to 4 or 5pm then going to school at 6pm to 11pm 3 times a week . Hopefully its worth it though.
