Actually I was working 2 jobs, and went to school nights and weekends because my family actually worked for living, and didn't have a trust fund for me to live off.I was half way through my masters when both my parents became handicapped in separate instances. As the only child, I had to help support them until I could get them into the system.Add in 9-11 and my losing my jobs, and I never got back to finish.Sounds like fun. Right?
