Wow, Brian, what terrific advice. I only managed to get a two year degree and wished I'd gone for a four year at least. The result is that I have been in labour all my life and at my age the old body feels ill used. Sure it's difficult to stay on track with so many things you'd rather be doing. But you'll never regret getting your priorities right. Take it from me and Johnny, there are far better ways to make a living.
