My major goal was to get my degree by the age of 30. After I got out of the Army, I knew it would be a long road to work and get through university, especially with a science major. Nobody in my near family had a university degree.
My parents were pretty simple, uneducated people. Neither had finished high school. I remember I was working as a crane operator at a steel mill while going to the local communty college. One time when my parents stopped by while in town, my dad put his arm around my shoulder and said, "You know, you've been going to the college for almost two years now and haven't finished. Why don't you just concentrate on getting a good job?" That gave me a little boost.
