And then it doesn't really matter, in most instances.

Troof.  I realized years ago that I'll never finish my education. And so what?  It hasn't hurt me any.  I've gotten better jobs through brazen bullshit than I ever could as a 40 year old graduate.  And love?  It only sticks to your face and makes the hangover worse.  I enjoy it when it's around, but I can live without it if it doesn't show up. 

Retirement?  HAW HAW!  LOOK OUT THE FUCKING WINDOW.  READ THE PAPER.  THERE IS NO FUCKING "RETIREMENT" FOR ANYONE!

I always figured that the reason I didn't finish my degree/etc. was because I was doing other things that I wanted to do more.

Eventually I probably will go back and get a degree, mostly because school is interesting.

Mine, I think.  It seems I get paid $30/hour to be an obnoxious asshole.  No real work is involved.

Still doing that maintenance chief gig at the refinery.  Apparently, nobody wants to do the necessary paperwork to fire a salaried employee.

This, of course, gives me a level of latitude (in dealing with the other managers) that I am unaccustomed to.
