A huge congratulations is in order. You should celebrate this win. It's big. It's meaningful. And I lost count of how many people I've known in life never got to the point you even started, or got halfway through and just gave up and can't find the fire to pick it back up again and finish.

Welcome to the Pride. Frame that sheepskin and hang it on the wall proudly. It doesn't just represent a score of random classes. It really represents two decades of your knowledge, experience and and hard knocks.

Thank you! It's nice to have finished. I didn't "need" the degree for my a promotion or career, it just simply bothered me to never have finished it so that bother is gone and I get to sleep just a little better now.

How much did it cost? Over the the entire 19 years? I don't know. To finish up this year - not a lot. Two months of Sophie (so $200) + two terms at ETAMU ($2,000). I'm a Texas resident so I only pay $1,000 per term with them.
