I ended up instead going to back to college and getting a IT degree.

To use your example, I don't want guests to even have the opportunity to set the thermostat to 60 degrees.

I work full time and also have been going back to school to finish my degree.

I have a master degree in RE development and specialized in financial modeling.

Now, if you and I have an established relationship, you've sent work my way, I will give you an overall number first and if we can agree on it and I know I get the work, yes then I can itemize, to a degree.2. 

I also faced this dilemma while in undergrad school finishing up my Mechanical Engineering degree.

The question in our home right now is whether or not he should pursue a business/finance or similar degree in college or start his future now. 

I work full time and she works part time while also completing her masters degree. 

I’d love to offer advice, but I was also just lucky to some degree.

Well...studied through college, got my degree with my 3.0...and landed a plush job as a 'financial analyst' in one of the most prestigious buildings in Charlotte, NC.
