Yeah, I hear you! It took my third return to school (with attendant loans) to finally do the charm. I think that "American Dream" only existed for a few of the post war '50s Ozzie & Harriet years but a lot of us bought it. One of my friends who has an advanced degree from a prestigious British university (but not the career to go with it) is always joking with me that we should have all taken the student loan money and bought a pizza franchise instead! Hang in there, Jim - you are by no means alone! Kakki
