Just curious, are you a non-traditional student or are you getting a graduate level degree?

@Stuxnet Undergraduate. I guess you could say I'm non traditional as I've held full time tech jobs through my 20's. I've been in part time classes for 3 years so it's taken longer to finish my Bachelor's. I prefer to self teach myself now, and I feel like the colleges are too far behind the times to teach me anything beyond fundamentals.

@Stuxnet I don't regret my life that I finished later. I wasn't sure what I wanted to pursue for a career and I've used the time to find my choices and build experience in IT. 🙂
I'll retire at 70 or try fighting to go longer. I've got 40 years ahead of me anyways. 😜 -
@starrynights89 My uni is home to a lot of non traditional students, most of which are harder workers than the average traditional student.
There was one in my history class last semester, and he only missed like 3 classes. Meanwhile, when it was over 80° and sunny, 2/3 of the class skipped. But I guess they have more at stake than the average students do.
Well at least with the experience and ability to teach yourself, classes should be breeze, eh?
