Parris50,
Interesting to hear of your story so far - most impressive. Your family must have been very understanding for you to achieve all you've done so far on top of a full-time job ! I'd wager you're one of those enviable types who is as naturally bright and can handle huge workloads ! I know a Romanian guy in Canada who is as bright as a button and would think of nothing staying up until 3 or 4 AM working, only to turn up for work the next day and do another hard days graft. The guy was prolific, he ended up doing an MBA (this one was particularly noted for it's high workload) on top of a very busy work schedule and ended up getting a high mark !
I hope I'm made of the same stuff ! ;-)
Good luck with the rest of yours.
Cheers,
C.G.
