I don't plan on applying to schools anytime soon with all of the budget cuts that have been going on, it's scary!

I have an M.A. in Museum Studies with a concentration in American Studies and a B.A. in History with a minor in Sociology. I also am A.B.D. away from a Ph.D. in American Studies. I have all the coursework finished but until the dissertation writes itself, I'll never have the Dr. in front of my name.
DH has an Associates in Computer Information Systems and is a Network Administrator at a locally based company.

I have an associates in engineering sciences, went on to study chemistry with a concentration in biology. I made it 4.5 yrs into the 5 yr program when I just didn't have the money to support a semester of research which was required at my college, I would have needed to quit working for money and work in the lab full time. I had all the intentions of transfering to another college just for my degree because I had all the requirements for a chemistry degree at just about any other school, but I never did. I came to realize my heart wasn't in it and I didn't want to spend my life in a lab, you have to really like what your doing. In hindsight, I really regret a lot of decisions I made based on pressure from my mother. I should have gone to Albany and become a pharmacist out of HS, that is what I really wanted to do. I have mostly worked in restaurants, my last job was running a small restaurant in a hotel near the airport. I also have a real estate sales associate license and was a Realtor for a few yrs.
