“I dropped out of college when I was nineteen, and now I’m going back at the age of thirty. I didn’t think I needed a degree for the longest time. I travelled a lot, and I’ve always been employed. But it’s just gotten too embarrassing to keep explaining why I don’t have a degree. It’s a deal breaker with most women at this age. They might spend the night with me, but they won’t call me in the morning. So I’m going back. But I’m much more focused now. I’m impatient. I’m the oldest one in my class, so I don’t even want to socialize. I have no interest in getting a beer with you after class. Unless you’re good at trigonometry.”
