          i went back for IT, one class left til another bachelors but about halfway through a high school friend got me a job. im making close to twice what i did before. unfortunately i work for a finance company but they pay really fuckin well. feels good, fuckin finally. best part about going back is you only have to get the major classes done. Pretty much every class will be related to your field, unlike the first time around.
