Yawe,

Dont try to ran away from a degree bwana! I know a Kenyan colleague who got a degree at 65yrs of age. Not because they were looking for a job, but just because they could (had the opportunity, the brain and resources to do it). I strongly believe you have the opportunity, the brain and the resources to get that degree - just because you can.

@Walu,

For once, I have completely failed to understand the type of justification you have used to try and convice Bobby to get a degree.
With this particular reasoning, wasn't this degree as a good as a paper for the water closet?

@Wash,

Dont try to understand the reason - because there is none ;-)

People like Yawe do not actually need a degree nor a reason to do it. Mostly they simply do the degree because they can. Much like Bill Gates or Manu Chandaria donate money for various causes because they can..donating the money or retaining it does not change their status; but eventually they prefer to donate, its probably just part of self-actualization.

But lets not dwell on Yawe - I think this week is about V2030...

walu.
