congratulations on getting a degree! my view of it is: now that you've jumped through all the hoops, satisfied your debt to society, and sufficiently impressed everyone, it's time to do what you want to do. it's kind of like retirement, unless you have loans to pay off. i miss you!

School felt a little more like retirement, actually. I keep waiting for the real work to begin! One of these days when I have kids, maybe I'll actually have to work :)
