I walked across the stage and got my Masters Degree...

Today was one of those moments of clarity for me that life is short....and it is important to live each day to the fullest ! Get out there and do something great today !!

Any one else had one of those moments ??

    50 years ago I walked across the stage to receive my diploma. The Principal ran to hold the door for me when I left. I could've swore I heard a lock "click" behind me.

    Congrats to those who achieved a higher education.

    Congrats on the master's degree, that takes a lot of time and effort!

    I settled for my HS diploma and a diploma from tech school. I, like most folks, went through several jobs until I got my dream job. They will have to run me off with a BIG BIG stick!

    As I said before, college is only necessary for certain jobs. Apparently you decided on a career that requires the masters, you made the commitment, and you accomplished a task few do.

    Congrats again!

    I finished my undergad in 1981 and as there were no jobs (Thanks Jimmy Carter) I went right on to Grad school and finished in 1982.. Seems like yesterday sometimes !!
