Congratulate me - That's Associate 4t64rd to you!

I'm finally finished the degree I started in 1983 (I took a few years off... 1987 to 2003). It was more important for me to finish the something than the degree itself.

I'm gonna walk with a bunch of whipper-snappers in a big blue dress on Saturday at 10 am at Tropicana Field. Party at my house at 7pm. PM if you wanna come!

I put working on my '46 on hold since '03 and I have the little woman's blessing now to finish it now that school is done.

The best part?!? I'm getting a Hobart 187 as a graduation present!

P.S. I'm 43 y.o. and have been worked 40+ hour a week jobs since June of '82.

 

Congratulations ...

Education is something nobody can take away from you ...

 

Congrats!!!! I know how you feel. I'm still working towards my degree that I started in '96.

Now go out and start earning that extra $20K that the studies say you should be able to reel in....

congratulations

 

I wonder if I default on my loan, would they repossess my brain, or the beer I spent my book money on?

 

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
I know what you're saying about being the old guy on campus, I was almost 50 when I went back to finish my BS.

 

Congratulations on completing yer duhgrea. Now go make good use of it.

 

way to go! You made associate. I didn't get that far... just made it to 'ass.'

 

I don't know about that. The folks at various beer companies have been slowly taking bits of mine since I was in school...

 

Trust me, in Mike's case it is possible to take even that away from him, he still gets candy taken from him.

Congrats homeboy, I wish I could come to your gradumatation partie bit I have to go to my muthers house.

 

Congratulations. An education was probably the best thing I ever bought myself (although some hot rods have run pretty close seconds....).

 

Congrats Mike, going back to school is a difficult thing to do, once you've been out for a while. Good Job!

 

Congrats man. I'm 18 hours short of my BA and have been for the last 14 years. Someday....
Good for your for getting it done. It's way harder after the fact.

 

Congrats on the degree. I got a certificate from McDonalds that says I can work the drive through. "Would you like fries with that shake?"

 

Congrats now you got 23 good years to make that good pay you been working hard to get. Wish I could make the party

 

You, a big blue dress and a party.......that scares me

Congrats!!!

Congrats. What is your degree in?

 

Congrats. I owe you for them brake drums still I just remembered.

 

That's Ass. 4t64rd???

Congrats bud! I'm proud of you. Wish I could be there to party with you. Maybe this winter.

 

Its just General Studies, but I took a few fine art classes back when as electives, If I take a few more painting classes, I can get another degree in Fine Art too... That degree and and $7and I can get a Starbucks... or work there.

 

I have a BA in Int'l Relations, did pretty damn good myself. A degree in anything can open doors that were heretofore closed. I hope that happens for you.

 

Congrats Mike, wish I could come down for the party but it's just a bit too far!

Congrats Man, That is awsome!

 

Well done. I finally got my MS last spring, at the age of 54. Completing these deals improves your posture and outlook.

 

You Rock!

Congrats

 

way to go bro! Sure beats my degree from the Univ. of Hard Knocks, Blue dress my ass!, thats a robe of honor!! Wear it with pride, but hope it doesn"t lead to gay pride. Rock on, I'll hoist a cold one in your honor.-Sololobo

 

Congrats Mike!!! Now you can cut out all that "the dog ate my homework" crap.

Get busy on that '46!!!

 

Education is the mark of a dedicated person, and a even if delayed a little, it is a achievement that you can be proud of.
