    Exclamation I Graduated!

    I'm extremely pleased to report that this past Friday I received my Associates in Science Degree in Criminal Justice!

    And as of this writing I *may* even have a job lined up with a new private investigation agency as a P.I.!

    Its been a long, and at times rough, haul. I want to thank those who encouraged me during that time. Thank you.

    Well done! As someone who took a degree at an age "slightly" older than my classmates I can appreciate the efforts you've been through. Good luck with the job.

    Well done! Personally, I shudder at the thought of going back into higher education. I don't think I could do it now, and have the greatest respect for those who do.
