I didn't know that it went back that far. I tried going back to school to get an AA/certificate degree(in the healthcare field/mid 1990's) in my late 20's early 30's and they started making those programs 4 yr degrees OR a certificate degree for those already having a 4 yr degree. I was stuck and couldn't afford to quit work to attend Community College full time and then add on another 2 years of unpaid internship. I was destined to be the "working poor" as a medical secretary, I guess? I swear, here in the state of MD (we want a highly educated workforce!), one needs an AA in waste management to be a garbage man slinging stinky trash cans in the heat and humidity!
