[QUOTE="Suz, post: 620638, member: 29"] I quit college after my sophomore year. I was out for one year and went back. The year out was an incredible year for me. I learned how to be self-sufficient, how to live in an apartment (dive!) by myself and I learned that I did not want to be that poor forever. I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up then and I still don't. But going back to school was important and having a degree on my resume helped with future job prospects. I used to thank my Mom (Dad died the year I was off) for having the courage to tell me I could quit. She was absolutely heartsick at the prospect. But without her saying I could quit I wouldn't have had the chance to learn those lessons on my own. Instead, I would have sabotaged myself in school and probably flunked out. As it happened, when I went back to school I got straight A's the first quarter and made the Dean's list every quarter until I graduated. You did well, Sue. Your gut has always been right on the mark. Give Wee the chance to learn those lessons that I had to learn. He will thank you one day even if he doesn't go back to school. Suz [/QUOTE]
