Cool Thread!

I think the college level thing is because we are all sort of keyboard addicts, so the more we have to type the happier we are. Carpal Tunnel Rules.

Anyway, Quabbin Regional JSHS 70-76, Dropped out in 74, restarted in 75, dropped out in 75, came back for Sr. year and graduated with my class in 76. (health problems) Clark U 76-77 (Worcester Ma, dropped out) Thames Valley Tech College (81-87, A.S. computers) Mohegan Community College (87-88) UCONN Avery Point, Hartford and Storrs (B.A. 90 and M.A. 93)

KatLaughing--I wonder if we ever ran into each other around here when you lived in CT. Dai(*the* one and only!) 'scuse my ignorance, but I think you'd need a college education just to be able to pronounce the names of your schools! ;>

I find this interesting because it's long been my belief that degrees *may* (perhaps usually) boost income here in the US, but they don't confer intelligence or wisdom. Nature seems to have been profligate with the intelligence and wisdom, conferring them randomly among the academically inclined and the rest of the population. I've been hanging around the 'cat for nearly a year, and everyone who posts regularly, in my opinion, has gotten large dollops of intelligence and wisdom, regardless of education! I've learned a lot here!
