    My background in literature and liberal arts was very strong before I went to college so I majored in business.

    I majored in Women's Studies in my undergraduate work.

    I did my masters work in Latino Studies.

    I did my doctoral studies in Black Studies.

    I have a job with local govt. in which I help losers. I was hired because of my educational background.

    Actually, it's a never-ending class. I keep studying, and studying, and studying. It's not so much whether I pass or fail, it's the research that's important...

    It's all how you're wired up. Everyone has their own unique set of skills to contribute to society.

    In response to the rep comment, by FSU, do you mean Fayetteville State, or Florida State?

    At any rate, I'm at Northwest Florida, since it's the closest school, but, I went to Fayetteville State several years ago...
