And you graduated? With what...a degree in journalism?

No, I did not. When I went back to school, I wanted to study what I
thought
useful and relevant, not a proscribed specialization or major with course
requirements. I took everything from sociology and cultural anthropology
to
statistics, math and literature. I only took one broadcast course, in
fact.
I quit the university when a headhunter convinced me that running a radio
group was going to be more productive than getting a degree the employer
did
not care one hoot about, anyway.

That's fine. I don't care about your career path, but you must realize
that no one is going to be impressed by the GPA of a person who never
crossed the finish line. That's like boasting that you once led the
Boston Marathon...for the first five seconds.


Not the same. I am in a field where the ability to perform is measured, not
the ability to complete classes. There are no degrees required in most
positions, in fact. Except for entry level positions, educational background
is pretty much ignored.
