I don't regret getting my Bachelors and my Masters, but I'm not sure they were necessary. I dunno...I really got a LOT out of the Masters beyond theory and I took some really cool classes as an undergrad. But I've been looking for a job commensurate to my schooling and experience off and on for 5 years now...and have not been very successful. I love the work I do right now, but I didn't need to really go to college to do it.

I think my son will wind up doing a trade. Granted, he's only 10 right now and a lot can happen between now and then...but he's so bored with regular schoolwork. My brother was the same way.
