I came to your site after you left a comment on mine.

I also have a love/hate relationship with school. I love Mark Twain’s quote: “Never let schooling get in the way of your education.”

I left college for similar reasons. I went back over a year later, but for a very specific reason, and on my own terms. Well, as you said, life changes, and my reason no longer seemed reasonable, but I bit the bullet till I graduated because at that point, I had a scholarship that made a degree a hell of a good bargain, and I love good bargains.

I don’t think I’d ever return to school except to learn very specific things that interest me or that have practical applications. Besides, a formal degree won’t pull much weight in the farming world–it’s experience and good sense that counts in this arena.

Anyway, I’m glad you’ve come to terms with school and the role it can play in your life. Thanks for sharing!
