Academic? Dropped out of college because I had to make enough money to get my husband through college. Once he got his mba, I 'retired' to be a stay-at-home mom

So what's happening in your work, academic, family, social or chess life?
😉
Academic: About to learn the hard way that web based courses suck far worse than sitting in the classroom.
Family: They're happy, healthy, and feeling secure. I keep my paranoia well-hidden from them.
Social: Strictly an e-social life these days.
Chess: Riding my freshly waxed skis down another steep slope.

Originally posted by SJ247We were both 18 when we got married. I was going for a music major at U.T. (That would be Texas) Hubby had been accepted in the McCombs school of business, and I was able to make a good bit more money than he could at that time, so it was pretty much a no-brainer who it was that needed to stay in school and who needed to go get a job.🙂 I've thought about going back, but it isn't really something that I'm all that interested in any more. I never started my sophomore year, so, I would be basically starting from scratch. I have a son that's 16 now, and sometimes I look at him and think about what hubby and I were planning at only months older than my son is, and think about how we must have been insane, and how someone probably should have planted a foot in both of our bottoms. 🙂 But, the craziest part of it was that the plan we devised as children actually worked out. 🙂
