oh yeah! i have totaly forgotten how insanely high college fees are in the US. So you are probably trying to get the best out of your money as fas as possible?
We have education embodied in our constitution as a human right, so student fees are at an average of 500 euros a semester in germany (614 US dollars).
and austria doesn`t have any fees for studying at all (wich is why i`m currently there (cheapscate)).
Wich is why so many students here study up to 2 and sometimes eaven 3 subjects untill their 28. And why so many retired people study.

We've got it pretty good here in Finland. My tuition was this year 109€ (my bf had only to pay 94€) for the whole year 
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

But in Suomi you have Timo Soini, and I`ll rather pay 400 euros more than to see that face in the papers each day.

My college tuition is about 13,000 USD a year. I'll be about 15,000-20,000 in debt when I graduate.

Probably a bit of both. I've done this kind of work for a few years now and any company worth its salt it dependent of a fleet of graphic designers. I might get a second degree in literature for my own interest, but like you say, it is not exactly a career opener.
My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -
It gives a lovely light!

Congrats!
Why thankyou kind sir. It has turned into "My big fat Greek wedding" and neither of us can actually hail from that part of the planet (in recent times anyway- the gods only know what our ancestors got up to)

Personal Assistant? That Zen is one lucky guy. You beat me to retirement. Are you exploring a second career with garden design? (I'm thinking about it.)
It was a case of HAVE TO TAKE EARLY RETIREMENT. Globally the jobs market is not good for "older" persons, let alone the young ones. Nephew has been out of work for three months and STILL looking.
I would advocate the "Garden design" vocational re-direction? = Go for it mate!
I would like to put our little patch on our local Garden shows to demonstrate what can be done with minimal funds and a very strict eye to environmental sensitivity. Not to mention that we get to eat the bloody stuff as well!!
As for the PA? HA! I come with benefits...so Zen says....  But yes I am the "go to" person if you want to know anything about our little bit of paradise.

You and Elvis both. Of course he liked watching young women running around in them. I assume you like being watched?
Your assumptions are correct. VERY exclusive audience though as Zen does NOT like sharing his "toys" and to be honest neither do I.

Touché!
