So, why do you want this piece of paper?

You're already a goddess now you want to be a priestess?

    Well, if she gets the piece of paper then on good days she can stare at it and think, "Cool, I have that piece of paper!" And on bad days she can stare at it and think about turning it into a dart board because it's not really helping her earn a living or solve life's riddles......

        Since I used to actually work in the Horticulture Industry my BS degree was very useful. I don't think that having it can hurt in anyway, and yes the process like most things in life is the better part.

        It's funny, now that I'm in a different position in life I'm finding that I'm remembering that Hort stuff from years ago and will probably get back into it to some degree. I can see myself as a "Master Gardener" down the road as I convert my landscape knowledge into something more practical by growing fruits and vegetables.

        I wish I had the time and money to persue a Masters degree in Horticulture, I love being in school and learning. I think solving problems and finding ways of accomplishing goals is what keeps me going.

        I was just curious as to how Webba planned to use her degree, as far as maybe teaching, or as a just something she felt she needed to accomplish in her life.

          I had not realized previously how fun it was to say horticulture.

              Those are just more reasons I chose that as my degree program.......icing on the cake....so to speak

          Part of it is, as Cupcake said, the process is fun. I loved being in college. I loved stretching my mind, reaching out to new ideas and making connections. The BA I got basically qualifies me to a/go to grad school or b/ask if you'd like fries with that. I studied what I did because I love the subject. Getting my BA was a huge goal for me and I met it despite a lot of crap in my life. Another part of why is exactly that...it's a goal, it's the next step. Im not sure where I'll be afterwards. I'll probably pursue teaching and I've always wanted to write. Ultimately it's the only way I can stay in college for the rest of my life.

                that's why im destined to be the old woman who lived in her shoe, with lots of dogs, books and old coffee cups filled with mould, who doesn't know what to do ...

      heyyy, i havent changed fields again ... im working on the exact same stuff i was at bc ... im just doing it alone now without the support of the porfessors there who got me. that's why i am desperate to go back and at least spend another 6 months or so under the mentorship of professors i actually respect and who respect me ...

      sorry, another shitty long day at the office ...

      doesnt it suck how one bad apple can just ruin the whole teaching experience ...?

                          I don't care about your piddly little "older than me"ness. What I know is that you're NOT much older than I, I am already a gramma and I AM NOT OLD. And Im not GONNA be old when I hit your exalted age of 14 months older than me.

                          Don't MAKE me have a temper tantrum. You don't wanna be on the business end of a hissy fit.
