Never even considered it.
Although, looking back I wish I did because I would love to be a lawyer.
Travis Got accepted to Law School at home in Virginia...but before starting, a little soul searching convinced me I wouldn't make a good lawyer.. I believe in ethics, and have morals.... only thing I regret about not becoming an attorney, is when I got divorced, and dealing with my ex ever since that time...

BS, Electrical Engineering, Cornell Ph.D., Mathematics, U Penn MBA, Stanford Some other degree/program from MIT and another from BU, I'm pretty sure. The degrees have always been jammed in the back of a drawer in a desk in the office, so it's hard to say as far as dates. Wait, that's my old man. The younger of his dumb kids has a B.A. in English, with a minor in Soc. I am shamed.

5 colleges in 3 states and no degree, though I'm sure I could have an AA in there somewhere.
I couldn't even tell you how many hours I have. Lots of random course work.
