I was full time coillege student from the age 16 to 26. I even attended two
colleges full time at the same time for two years. I don't recommend it unless
you like 80+ hours week.

I taught college sophomores and juniors and couldn't stand it. The amount I
get paid is not all that important to me (ok, it has to reach a certain
minimum). I took a sizeable pay cut when I left the actuarial field in the
early 90s and I never regretted it.

ROTFL. To each is own pleasures... Reading is my second favorite activity.
