Without my degree I still feel I've amassed alot of knowledge. I am constantly kicking everyone's butt in Trivial Pursuit and am always answering the questions on Jeopardy.
Hi april004,
Thanks for the post. I understand your feelings perfectly. You are lucky to be young enough to be able to change careers easily and go after what you really want. I really like your line about your hobbies! It's so true! I also like Trivial Pursuit and Jeopardy. My family is always asking how I know some of the answers and I'm always surprised because I think that the things I know are commom knowledge that everyone knows.
