This is exactly the kind of example I was talking about! Your cousin made the right choice.
I have a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education. It took me years of homeschooling my kids to get that degree out of my system. It was exactly the opposite of how I wanted my kids to learn. I feel guilty sometimes that my parents are out all that money. However, I did meet my husband there. I guess one good thing came out of that degree. :0)
I have my degree in Management, which is useful in my current life, and the Church is after me for all those Spanish courses ...
My favorite Anoreth Adventure was the Sultanate of Brunei, where she told them that *every* civilized country has women in the military, and our religion encourages women to develop their potential ... and “By the way, your economy is pathetic. Would you like some Thomas Sowell books to help you? My mom will buy me new ones when I get back to the US!” It ended up with a whole Brunei Coast Guard crew wanting to move to Charlotte, where rents are low and the climate is agreeable.
