I didn't...until May of this year. In my 40's and in school. Dad was the old fashioned kind and we were supposed to be "taken care of" by husbands. Ha ha ha ha! My oldest sister was divorced, my older sister is divorced for the second time, and I'm widowed. I think we could have used that education. Sister #1 is deceased, Sister #2 got her degree at 40, and I'm back.
Me!
I went right to work after graduation. I got to save up money instead of spending it on college. Since I am now a SAHM, Im glad I didnt waste my time or money going.
I never went either. I went to work full time after high school. By the time I was 25 I had my own business. Now I work for someone else after being a SAHM for a few years. I enjoy NOT being a boss.
I didn't either. I regretted it for a bit in my 20's (like I thought I was too old to go back! LOL) But college isn't for everyone. I am planning on DD going to college (she is just 8yo).
I have done alright w/o a degree. I make more $ than my sister who went to college. But an education is something that no matter what you do, no one can ever take away from you.
DH went to college but doesn't use his degree for fighting fires but he is the smartest fireman around these parts. Really!
Just never had the desire, or felt the need to go back in the 70's.
I got married at 18 and was a "stay at home wife" and shortly after that a "stay at home mom" too, and really enjoyed that. I didn't go back to work until my youngest was in school all day, and then I only went back part time, as a clerk in a video store. I enjoyed that for a few years, then took a nurse's aide course thinking I would go to work as an aide after I completed the course, but found out I hated it! Finished the course just so I could say I completed it, but didn't pursue employment. Went to work for a few years as a church secretary, but for the past 6 years have been a waitress, make good money and love the job, I'm happy so that's all that matters!!
