    Only have a high school diploma, but I have over 100 college credits in various classes. Spent two years studying computer science, and have a couple tech certs. If my job allowed I'd still be taking night courses for the fun of it.
    Prost!

    Why step over the dollar to get to the cent? Because it's a 55DDO.

    Lacked two courses of having an Associate Degree in Computer Science when I stooped attending for awhile and then switched to Electronics
    Would like to start attending college again and pick up the computer degree but the closest one is 40 miles away. I may look into going back to school via the internet.

    High School Graduate... but in August, I'll be starting work on two AS Degrees in Computer Network Engineering Technology. There's two different tracks of the same degree that I want to get, which will also prepare me to get my certifications for the MCSE and the CCNA. That's Microsoft Certifed System Engineer, and Cisco Certified Network Associate. image

    ER - I had to buy my own loupes. You mean they give them to radiologists?
    BTW, I've looked at a few of my coins under the slit lamp and operating microscope. They look a lot nicer under a 60W bulb and 5X B&L Packette. You'd be amazed at what the surfaces really look like under high mag!
