Why wouldn't you have spent a dime on college? I'm paying a nice penny for 3 classes (1500. Ouch), but I'll be done there in 2 years and transfer to university.
I always used to have the mindset that everyone who goes to college, for instance all of the cares in the parking lot, that most of them wouldn't do anything in their fields anyway.
But like 5 or 6 years ago someone very close to me got me in to health and fitness and nutrition. I became obsessed with it. Did nothing but talk about it. I started reading scientific papers on nutrition.
I was thinking about going back a few years ago, but I was working 60 hours a week at the time and decided muh shekels were more important at the time then education (I was making good money too).
But now, I want to be a nutritionist so I obviously need to go back to school. I have the drive and determination to succeed in anything and everything I do.
I'm going to be as non PC as possible, because that's just my nature. I love being controversial, and if I can debate some good goys on the IQ gap, I may be able to convert some people.
Remember, those with low self esteem, when they are told they're wrong that just reinforces their wrong beliefs.
Those with high self esteem, when given contrary evidence, will take to what you said ad most likely change their view based on the evidence.
Clearly, liberals have low self esteem, which is why they never ever change their views.

I do agree. But with what I want to do in life, I need that piece of paper. I used to have the same attitude.
I want to work with obese, senior and child populations in regards to nutrition consulting and diet structure. I can't do that without school.
I'm doing what I'm doing for my love of the field and love for my country to make it a better place.
Unfortunately, those pieces of paper make people take you seriously, so if I want to be taken seriously in the nutrition world, I need that piece of paper.
