24 Tonight!
I feel stupid today
I went straight into the military out of High School.
Learned to become a jet mechanic. Was one of the best I was offered a position working on the Thunderbirds and turned it down. I have some college. In my military training I have the equivilant to an Associates in Aeronautical Sciences.
I feel dumb b/c it seems everyone around me has gone to "real" college and has at least a Bachelors.
Wife - B.S. Analytical Chemistry
Sister - B.A. English Lit.
Brother in-Law - B.S. Horticulture
Brother In-Law - PhD in Biomedical Engineering
Father - B.S. in Mechanical Engineering
Father in-Law - Like three B.A. in different Chemistrys
What do you have? What do you do for a living?

If you want to go back to school give it a try, you don't owe anyone an appology and I am sure you have learned a lot about the 'real world' that many schoolies don't get until after the degree has gone to their head. My dad did about the same thing as you and he still doesn't have a degree but he has been working at engineer status for years. He's well respected and he schools new eng degree holders regularly. Don't assume that college degrees can be equated with intelligence across the board. There are many people who barely make it out with a degree and probably shouldn't have. On the other end of the spectrum there are people who a straight up guiness and can't deal with the constraints of the school system so never finish. In the end its just a piece of paper.

however, it's not like you slacked off after high school. going into the military is admirable.
so.. well what do i have? nothing as far as degree go. shame on me!
what do i do for a living? band publicity... not as in street teams, but i do actual PR work for bands and record labels (indie labels i should add. not anything fancy like Columbia or Interscope or whatever). i'm all up in the music scene
