[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1199741, member: 14661"] I've fought that one my whole life. I've been told since I was in kindergarden that I had to go to college if I wanted to be much of anything in life. School was not for me though and I dropped out officially in my sophmore year but it was more like eighth grade as two years were just me going through the motions. The biggest obstacle I've faced in my adult life was me thinking I wasn't good enough because I didn't have a degree and that thinking was heavily enforced by my parents. As of about two years ago my dad was still trying to convince me that there was still time to "make something of myself" and I had to point out that my net worth is much larger than his and that my sister and her husband, who both have masters degrees, were struggling along with business number three and a mountain of debt... I think what I needed was to hear myself tell him that. ;-) The funny thing is that instead of feeling uplifted and more driven, I now feel like I don't really have to prove anything to anyone and it's slowed me down some... I'm glad I got so much done before I figured it out or he'd have been right. :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
