Did you go to college?

[Lilsia]

No. It was highly discouraged with my parents having the attitude that paying for college for a woman was a waste of money, considering she will just get married and stay home with the kids anyway.

 

[Tattylou]

Yes - a bachelors and a masters degree

 

[luvnwdwgal]

No. I hated school so I knew I was never going to go to college.

 

[ronandannette]

Yes.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

Yes, even graduated

 

[CGB]

Yes, but not in the traditional sense. I joined the military out of high school to get money for college. I began using my GI Bill at 25 years old and finally finished my BA at 33 and MS at 40. I was the first one in my family to go to college.

 

[China Expat]

Yes...first in my family to go to college, and earned all three levels of degrees. Earned my doctorate at age 55.

 

[Mercdesman]

I took a few classes. My DW has her masters. I make more than double her salary.

 

[Juliet25]

Yes. Though I could have had the same job I have now without it.

Same.

 

[Silver saucer]

yes

 

[Kwami]

Yes. Straight through to my PhD, though it took two extra years to finish it while I was working full time. I had to take out lots of loans to get through my undergraduate years and the interest on those loans accumulated during my graduate studies, but I was able to get a good job and pay off my debts in about 6 years.

 

[YachtClubWoman]

Yes - first in family (and extended family) to attend
Graduated with a BA and received a masters that work paid for in full

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I did, yes, but dropped out after my father died so I could work full time. My mother and I shared the bills and I couldn't make school and work, well, work.

 

[Colleen27]

Several times. I have an associates and several (long expired, now) industry certifications earned at 18/19, a bachelors in a wholly unrelated field that I finished in my 30s, and am planning to start my masters in the fall.

 

[LYSE]

Nope

 

[Meriweather]

Yes

 

[bcla]

Yes. Sure beat getting a job straight out of high school.

 

[indimom]

Yes

 

[Carol_]

Yes. All the way. They had to rip my claws from the walls and kick me into the workforce. Blech.

 

[2letterwords]

Yes. I completed my master's degree.
