Tom, I basically did the same thing you did, but I was only 9 credits shy of graduating with a dual major and a minor. I had a good job in my area of study. It paid well for someone my age in this part of the country, and had great benefits. I took a year off school to get married, that turned into another year, cause we bought our first house...the rest is history. Bought another house...started having babies...And here I am. I am not sure I would change much about the choices I made, if I had to do it all over again, with the same knowledge I had then. I do sometimes wish I had that piece of paper that proves my efforts!! Funny thing is, if I ever went back to school, I would want to start over as square one, as I no longer have a desire to work in my previous field of study. (4 kids of my own cured me of that!!! <ggg>) Smiles Jane

No, I don't think that he should either. Dropping out of College was definitely not my best decision But if he decides to then he should work for me. It was not easy going from reliance on a regular paycheck to doing this. May as well start him out this way then he can go the other way later if he likes. Trouble for him is that Engineering School is socially a zip. Drives him nuts. He is there for CS but has to take the routine Physics, Chem, Calculus courses. He can do it, but he only has an interest in Computer Science. So he is doubly dismal.
