I don't think it's quite fair to make that comparison on account of she can't find work because she's physically disabled and cannot drive a car, not because she didn't get through school. Her interviews usually go well until they ask her if her disability prevents her from driving, then ends with "okay I think we're done here". I think she'd do great working from home, but having her work for swagbucks is the same kind of blow to the self esteem as having me work retail: we're both intelligent people, we both got really high marks, and every time someone says "have you tried mturk or walking dogs" we both sink a little lower. I don't even need any kind of traditional college; I'm just tired of people looking at me like I belong on trailer park boys.

In response to my age and going to school, I didn't know that. Where I went to college there was one 26 year old 'non traditional' and I thought he was cool, and my friends thought he was cool, but the general consensus was that he was creepy.
