Congrats man!
I was on the decade plan as well and finished my degree a few years ago at age 30. I will second the comment about colleges doing a poor job of dealing with the "non-traditional" student. Glad you made it!Comment

Great work. I bet it feels really good to check that off the list! Now you have the rest of your life to forget everything they just taught you

Thanks for the kudos!
for the curious, I'm 33.
Industrial Technology from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. The program I went through is a business degree with roots in engineering, sort of industrial/engineering management.
JR, I worked in the Bay Area last summer for a large aerospace contractor. I wouldn't mind living/working there but real estate is still ridiculous up there. I own a house here and my wife has a good job so we're attempting to stick around but the outlook isn't great around here right now.Last edited by Tom Slick; 12-11-2009, 09:47 PM.Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas EdisonComment

Congratulations on the accomplishment.
I encourage people to not measure themselves by their degree of education but regard it as a great tool to climb higher and achieve much more. Use that new tool for yourself, your family and for others!
It took me 5 years to work out a 2 year grad degree!

I am presently attending college, I cant wait until I can post that I just passed the last final... 2 more years... I am an electrical engineering major. 30 years old, working a swing shift 50+ hours a week alternating from days to over-nights, 2 kids (1 at 4 years and 1 at 7 months). I know exactly what you mean about the extra effort required to get it done.

It is truly commendable what you've gone through to achieve your degree.
It is also most like an indication of the success you'll achieve in your career.
Good job!Comment
