I don't usually post I agree with you messages, however, in this case I
agree. I too admire those in pursuit of advanced degrees. I was in my
junior year when circumstances were such that I needed to stop and I said I
would finish my bachelor's degree later. I studied and became a medical
transcriptionist believing it was a job that would allow me to complete my
degree and that was over 30 years ago. I have never gotten back to it, but
I hope with today's technology it would be easier.
My husband completed his BS in information systems management and then got
his Master's degree in information systems management all within the past
ten years and I helped him with some of the research, something that 30
years ago I hated to do. Thank goodness for the Internet and Bookshare.

I so admire those of you who have had the courage to go on to higher
education. Things were difficult when I received my Batchelor's degree, and
the thought of going after more education which I thought I would do seems
absolutely overwhelming to me. I think in many ways, it would be easier than
it was nearly forty years ago, but hitting those snags would challenge me
for more fighting power than I feel I have at this point in my life.
I wish all of you who are pursuing advanced degrees the very best. You have
lots of courage to go for it.
Dianne and
Guide Dog, Primrose
