Luckily for me, that is not my case.

Shecky's right, I got my AA in written Journalism, however all my experience has gotten me jobs writing for newspapers above those who have Masters and Bachelors degrees in the same field, because I started writing for various papers, etc long before I graduated and they put that towards my credit when looking for a reporter.
I started college in 1975, Sept, and finally graduated in 1993, but that doesn't mean Im a failure, not by a long ways. During that time I married, raised 2 kids, founded an organization that built the largest accessible/integrated and most accessible/integrated playground in the world (May, 1993-completion), and during that time helped raise over $160,000.00 towards the building of the playground which has become the model for accessible playgrounds world-wide. It's won 7 awards (national/state/local) and I, myself was chosen as 1 of 3 people from WI for People Magazine's All-Stars Among Us in 2010.
This is the site for our playground, something that I did all the speeches, media for which was built with 2,700-3,000 volunteers and with the amount of donations we received is worth over $600,000.00. http://camdenplayground.tripod.com/MAINPAGE/index.html
Ok, so there you go, you don't need a Bachelor's degree or a Masters degree...all you need is inspiration to go places, and I'm proof of that. :)

Yay! Alilisa has a good point! We also need to revel in all our accomplishments, as well! Not all those can be measured in dollars, either!
Many of you know that Threshold, my BFF, rescues and socializes feral kittens. There are no degrees or public accolades that go with that, but if you measure the improvement in each small creatures life, and in the love brought to a new human family when she rehomes them? How can you place a dollar amount on that?
So many people on this forum help other people out, do good when and where ever than can!
Snowleopard:
Pay it forward.
