I still enjoyed school, but it's so goddamned expensive. I did two semesters of college after taking a year break after highschool. That was to 'find out' what I was more interested in. Did that sort any of that out? No. Bye bye...around $7,000?

Take another year off. Apply for jazz school. Obviously that can be construed as a 'no job' degree, but I am a talented musician and there is a decent music scene in my city. Don't get in, but brush up on my theory and apply again the next year, getting in.

Do a year of jazz school, get convinced by girlfriend at the time that I should come traveling with her. Cave because it's a 'no job' degree and leave that hanging.

Did a medical terminology class through college a few years later that allowed me to apply to lab tech program through school. Dropped out of that program 13 days in because I realized I don't want to touch people all day for work. Got my money back.

Age 28-30 was going to school for a Network Technologist diploma. Thought that one was going to be a 'easy get job' degree. Not really. I have a job working for a big Telecom company but it's miserable. I'm contemplating getting a job with a friend who is an electrician because the pay potential is so much larger. If you decide to go to school, the company pays for the whole thing and you get EI the entire time you're in school.

idk degrees can be useful/valuable/interesting but goddamn is it hard to pick a 'good one' for work
