Although I attended college for more than 6 years, I kept switching majors and never actually received a degree. I majored in Art at University of Hartford Art School, majored in Geography at Framingham state, (an interim measure so that I could transfer after completing my academic requirements), majored in Design at Massachusetts College of Art, transferred majors to print making, then dropped out because the degree was getting farther and farther away and I was done.

When I was older I took a course in accounting at Fisher college, and dropped that course. Math is NOT my strong suit. I hired a tutor, and even with her helping me, we BOTH had problems getting things right.

THEN I took one wildly expensive course in jewelry making at the Museum of Fine Arts School in Boston...and after that, I was working all the time and had no time for fooling around.

@4meAndyou Did you ever get to use that art and design professionally?

@DrWatson No. Honestly, the reason I hated it and switched majors was that I wasn't very good.

@DrWatson But you will be happy to know that it runs in my family, and I have a cousin on my father's side who is both a designer and an illustrator. SHE is VERY good. I am far more talented in 3 dimensions. I was not allowed to major in sculpture, however. My father said I could not earn a living doing that. He was controlling my majors.

@4meAndyou That was short sighted on his part. Many people, including our daughter, end up in careers unrelated to their major.

@DrWatson He was thinking about his grandson, who was supremely important to him. He wanted me to hold down a good paying job so that I could support him.
