School daze

Ok I have been asked why I still go to school, me an oldster at 39 taking University classes constantly. I go to school cause I have this thing about always wanting to learn new stuff. If I had tried hard enough I could have had about 3 or 4 degrees by now. As it is I currently have over 160 undergraduate credits mainly concentrated in 4 areas: Chemistry - My original major and what I wanted to do with my life until a bad semester with a man hater dyke sue the University for discrimination woman chemistry professor. She gave every male student in her Quantitative Analysis Chemistry Lab a 'D' or an "F'. It got so bad that I turned in a lab write up that I had done and got a 'D' on it and my female lab partner turned in the same lab write up with just a few changes and got an 'A'. Computers - I tuned into computer geekdom in the late 80s and have managed to learn 7 or 8 computing languages, everything from C++ and Visual Basic to Fortran, UNIX, Java, and RPG. In addition, I have worked for various help desks here in Vegas for the last 10 years or so and have mostly enjoyed my jobs. I have also picked up a couple of certifications along the way. History - Probably one of the subjects that I enjoy the most. As soon as I finish my 20 page paper class and take one Freshman level class I will have enough credits for a degree in history, but will probably wait until I finish my other subject area... Secondary Education - Teri has just about convinced me to become a teacher as I would love to have summers off to enjoy my hobbies: computers, robots, and gardening. It would also be cool to teach in the same school as my wife, plus Teri keeps on telling me that I have a gift for teaching people stuff.

Even if I do manage to get my two degrees in a year or two, I have already decided that I am going to get a masters in computers or chemistry or both and maybe even continue on and get that elusive PhD in some other subject. I have also thought about going back and finishing up my chemistry degree even though there is not much I could do with it here in Vegas. I figure by the time I am done, between Teri and I we will have paid enough that they should name a building for me at UNLV.
