Dag Anne, you've lived with Mick for how long? I believe that's gotta qualify you for something substantial.
But seriously, managing a house and children and other work . . . I hate to think that some folks don't think that counts for much.
Like's been said, a degree in life, through real life struggles and challenges blows the water out of most degrees (IMHO). Cindy chose to help out with her family's bakery instead of going to college. I believe so much of at least American society puts too much emphasis on what degree you have or where is it from. I'm sure she feels that she missed out on getting a college degree but she has more than made up for that with life experiences and her current job as office manager.
