    just wondering since everyone has a bachalors these days and now grad school is pretty much expected, but then you realize you spent like 10 years in college...

    well, if you just want a master's, then it's 2 years in most cases. i spent 7 years in college/graduate school. if you count elementary, middle, and high school, that's a total of 19 years in school. needless to say, i had enough after graduate school. otherwise, it would be another 3/4 years.

    2 years at junior college + 5 years at UH. My last couple years at UH I was only taking one or two classes each semester though.

    Quit college after 2 years. Doing better than all of my friends that have degrees. :p

    One of these days I do want to finish though. It'll probably take me about 15 years at this rate. :)
