And I chose not to take it because I hate it! Math that is. I dropped out
of college because I was told that it would take 5 years before I could take
any law classes. I couldn't see going to a 2 year college for 5 years and I
was having a hard time working full time and going to school full time.
Something had to go.

Uh, say that again? Law classes? I went to a 2 year college and in my
second semester took Introduction to Business Law. Are you trying to
claim you wanted to attend *law school*?!

Not to mention no math, no history, no pre-college track classes in high
school whatsoever. It's really no wonder why a career at KMart was a better
option than college for her. Something has to give!

Career? It was the best she ever attained, and it didn't last very long.

17 years isn't very long?

Now she has a better gig than anyone here. She sits on her ass and
collects "disability" welfare.

Nobody said that it would. I do have lawyer friends.

No. I thought I wanted to be a legal assistant. At least this is what my
guidance counselor told me that I needed to do. I ultimately wanted to work
for the BBB. But then I discovered that wasn't what I needed to work there
anyway and that the legal assistants in this area merely assisted lawyers by
looking things up for them. It wasn't a high paying job and it didn't need
any sort of degree or certificate. Plus all of the jobs were in downtown
Seattle. Same for the BBB and I didn't want to have to commute there.

Yup, but it's not a bad job for an associates degree. It depends on
local searches and if it pays well where you are. Associates in
accounting also do pretty well.
