Education?😅 Awkward

Daily writing prompt
What colleges have you attended?

Does it count if I never graduated or even got a certificate?

What I learned in college has no value whatsoever, except what I learned from my English 2 teacher. She was absolutely fantastic… and considering her age at the time, she might no longer be living.

The locations are immaterial at this point, but I did attend two separate colleges.

Yes, I struggled to get some scholarships and by the time I in essence ‘gave up,’ I was paying out of pocket and attempting to pursue a degree in accounting.

Did I want to be an accountant?

Absolutely not. It’s completely boring to me.

I hate dealing with numbers.

I hate dealing with money.

I hate the nightmare of balancing books.

Did it for years… and the longer it went on, the more frustrated I got.

I prefer to balance my own finances.

So why pursue a degree in accounting?

Simple.

Money. I would have gone into preparing taxes. I wanted to work for H&R block… or maybe go independent myself–If I was good enough to be a tax preparer. I also could have looked into companies in need of accountants.

There were two colleges I had my eyes on after I graduated too. In the southern part of the USA.
