When I graduated from high school I had no intention of going to college. The art room was my home during high school. Add this mind set to the fact that none of my older siblings had gone to college and that I had no idea there were scholarships, loans and grants available just for the asking, and basically you get yourself an overly creative store clerk. There were studios with people up to their elbows in paint and clay.
Life is funny.
That was fifteen years ago. I have passed the following educational milestones - so far.
