Glen

Just wanted to congradulate you on finishing up on your engineering degree. Hope you got everything finished up. Is graduation is over? I got me one of those enganeerin' degrees about 10 years ago as a 'nontrad' student, it was quite an experience.

best wishes

Congratulations to Lar45, I salute anybody who has enough gumption to earn a degree. Which flavor of engineer are you? My guess, having seen some of your gun and generator ideas here, is mechanical engineering.

I know how hard it is to get a degree when you are out in the working world.
It is a lot easier when you can go to college right out of high school. My wife just finished her masters in counseling about two years ago. While I won't disclose her age, I'm 64. GOOD JOB!

Let me add my congrats to Glenn!!

I also got my degree 10 years ago this month. Anthropology, in my case. Hey, tall grass, I was 53 when I graduated. Started as a freshman at 48!! Lived in a dorm!!

Lived in a dorm!!

I'll bet that was fun! My first trip to college away from home was in a 22 foot camper trailer for a year. Best times of my life. I had so many bullets in that thing lucky it didn't tip over! I got my BSN at 31 and MSN at 33. Woulda done it sooner but didn't have anybody there to tell me I was capable of doing it. DNP is next.

BeauIt was awesome. I got along fine with the kids in my dorm. On my birthday in 1990, I heard a knock on my dorm room door. I opened the door, and "SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" exploded from about 20 voices. The guy in front held out a cake. On top and in icing was the torso of a buxum babe with two cherries for nipples. Lettered around the cake was, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO AN OFFICIAL DIRTY OLD MAN.

Hello Guys, thanks abunch.
My degree is in Electrical Engineering with a minor in computer science.
I was an Electronic Warfare tech in the Navy for 8 years and thought I'd use that to help get me through the EE classes. The wife and I will be turning 40 in August with 4 kids, hers, mine and ours. I guess I fit the non-traditional student status.

Thanks again.
Glenn.

..............Great deal and congratulations. I never had enough gumption to go to college, but then nothing that interested me required a degree so I guess I was lucky. Oldest Nephew just graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering from Arizona State, Tucson.

Congratulations Geln.
Now ya goota decide what and where for a long time down the road.

Heck you have a real leg up on so many graduating engineers . . . you actually know how to make/build something, NOT just the bookwork!

Congrats all around, Glenn. That is some accomplishment, doing it the "non-traditional" route. My wife did it the same way, and just finished her second Master's late last year. I'm right proud of her!

My wife didn't start on her degree until she was 40. The good part was I was able to brag about sleeping with a coed from SMSU.

Congrats Lar

Let me add my congrats, Glenn. LOML supported me through my various degrees, financially, emotionally, and physically. Just finished 20 years experience in my field, or 20 post degree next year. Looking foreward to another 20.
