So you didn't finish the first time and took two tries to get a BA?
wow? You know all this history yet you still try to just flex your skinny self out here.
Still in high school I was interviewed by MIT (private interview, they flew a guy down based on something I wrote) and Georgia Tech when I was hoping to be an Mechanical Engineer. Then that same year I did an internship with the best Mech/Civil firm in the area. That was all looking up stuff and not for me. My designs are still in place for fire sprinklers in two major businesses here. I hit them right on and no edits were needed.
I then went to a local community college which is now a state university and wanted to be a Pharmacist. They offered Junior level classes in Comparative Anatomy and other great bio/chem topics.
I had Biochem, genetics and an elective left when my first wife broke her neck and was at spring break. During that time I was interning at an Eckerds and I wasn't to crazy about what a Pharmacist had to put up with at the time (it's much better now).
I landed back in a place called Wellington and got a job at a major financial institution with my mortgage background. Within six months I was able to pick up a nice house on the water (3/2/2 with pool and .5 acres) and I was only 23.
By 29/30 I grew tired of being a contract management guy and flying all over picking up collateral. I have plaques I posted here about how I was part of some of the biggest deals in history (enough to get the plaque, not enough to get the $100k+ bonus). I had replaced some of the attorneys they hired for the job.
I went to FAU in 1999 and had my Comp Sci BA by 2000.
I have 7 years of college credits. While I don't have the degree in all of it, I have about 95% of the knowledge.
