"I wasn't pursuing a degree anyway..." Oh man, that's the mantra of
everyone who flunks out.

That may well be the norm. I wouldn't know.

In the period from '73 to '75, I was doing a lot of consulting, and had
considerable free time. There were a number of disciplines I wanted to learn
more about, so I managed to get a GED and take an assortment of courses
ranging from sociology to finance to Spanish literature; in '75 I was
recruited to be a VP of Pueblo International (NYSE: PII) and figured that
the opportunity with a $600 million a year sales company was better than
doing a couple of additional business and social science and math classes.

So, I dropped, not flunked, out. It was, in retrospect, a perfect decision.

No doubt this is why you're still defending it...what, some 30 years
later. Christ, this is depressing.
