Writer's Block: Youthful Transgressions

Jul 23, 2009 15:09

Not going through college fast enough.  I started Junior College when I was 18, and took 6 units a semester and then stopped going to college entirely so I could work for three semesters.  By the time I got done there and then finished with a BA at a four year university I was already 28 years old.  Then I waited a year and went back for my MA, which made me almost 31 by the time I had a Masters.  After five years of part time teaching, that made me 36 when I finally started in my career.

Now I have to work til I'm 66 to get full retirement.  Which I guess isn't the worst thing in the world, but had I started 10 years earlier like I should have, I could have retired before I hit 60.  Ah well.  I might make it 10 years after that :P
