People treating you differently since you've graduated?

Either way…. The only person you need to answer to is yourself.  If other people don’t like it, too bad for them.


Thanks for the comment.  I'm starting to see the benefits and satisfaction of obtaining my degrees and now a master's degree.  I say go for it!  TV will always be there.  Another quote I've heard is, "you'll be [insert age] anyway, might as well have the degree."  There are really great programs out there.  I've heard good things about the MBA program at WGU.  They make it easy to apply for scholarships and hear there's a great support FB group too.  Tuition is cheap and I love working at my own pace.
