  Speaker 1: I've made a big deal a little while ago about
• 0:02
  graduating from college. I don't think you'd never really know
• 0:07
  that by the way that was written.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: I've been asked if I will go ever, go back
• 0:17
  and finish college.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I just it because people say, how close were you
• 0:23
  to finishing.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: I had a year.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Because my sisters are all all of them are not
• 0:33
  just regular college but.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: More college graduate students.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: My one sister's got her doctorate masters.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: And they lorded over that. You don't don't at all.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: But I I don't know if it's because I'm the
• 0:48
  oldest or what, but I I feel I feel inferior
• 0:53
  to them in their in their educational pursuit.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: Well, it's because you are, I mean, on the face
• 1:00
  of it, just I.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Don't.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: I don't like bugs you.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: It bugs me. But does it bug me enough to
• 1:08
  go back?
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: God?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: No, God no, I foolishly thought one time. See, I
• 1:14
  went to graduate school. Here's the truth of it, did
• 1:17
  all the work all three years. I was supposed to
• 1:19
  write a thesis. At the end of the three years.
• 1:22
  I write the thesis and I put it in a
• 1:25
  briefcase and put it under the bed and never send
• 1:27
  it in. So I don't technically have a master.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: But you have an undergrad degree.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I have and I and I have all
• 1:34
  of the work. What do they call it?
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: There's a plight way to put an equivalency the equivalent
• 1:40
  of a master's degree, which means I didn't I didn't
• 1:44
  complete the work, but I went all three years, wrote
• 1:47
  the thesis.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: And I'm someone who liked school, like, Yeah, I was
• 1:53
  good at it. Like I wasn't trying to not go
• 1:56
  to school.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: I liked school.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I liked school, graduate school pretty hard.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: I was.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I was kicked from pillar to post for three years.
• 2:06
  You're never good enough, especially when you're in a you're
• 2:09
  getting a degree in a performance art. You're never good enough,
• 2:14
  you know. And uh so it's kind of demoralizing. But
• 2:18
  I got over it. But I never wanted to go
• 2:20
  to school again.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Like, but as much as I like I, it's been
• 2:26
  a long time. I don't think I'm going to do.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I would have maybe enjoyed school.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: I don't know you you went to college very briefly.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: I took some writing classes at the community college. It's
• 2:41
  hardly counts.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: You knew what you wanted to do, right, Like Bill
• 2:47
  and I had to work our way to this. You knew,
• 2:50
  so it made sense that you just pursued that right away.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: I went to the School of Broadcasts.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Wasn't Columbia. Wasn't it was the American was.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: The Ogden School?
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Was the Utah School? Utah?
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Didn't?
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: It wasn't it called the Ogden School.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Of bro I've got the documents around.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: Utah School of Broadcasting.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was locally owned and run and yeah, you know, uh,
• 3:14
  and it.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Was, so I wouldn't say you should have you know,
• 3:17
  you you had a path.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: You did it, and I didn't finish. Well, I did finish.
• 3:23
  I didn't finish because I got a job before it
• 3:26
  was over. I got a job in radio. So I
• 3:29
  went to them and said, why do I need you?
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: I have a job in radio.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: I said, well, you have to complete the course, and
• 3:35
  I said, I don't really do.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: But we want your money.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you already have it, you know.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Uh, you know, Gina, you might look into I'll bet
• 3:44
  there's a way you could complete most of the course
• 3:47
  work you need to do at home.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Oh probably, Yeah, lots of classes are available. But to
• 3:56
  what end? Just to say I did it?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I yeah, Well, I mean sure, I think you should
• 4:03
  do it. And then I think you should get it,
• 4:06
  have a big party and get your diplomas and go
• 4:08
  get up, go to your sister's and say, see.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Hang it up right in the entryway of your house.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: But see, even if I went and finished, it would
• 4:18
  still not be as I'm certainly not going to get
• 4:21
  a master's degree or a doctorate, Like I'm not going
• 4:23
  to do that much.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Oh I don't know.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Maybe when when radio is done, maybe you want to
• 4:29
  get a master's degree or a doctorate in communications.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe I could be a teacher at
• 4:36
  the U.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: I could teach.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Now that's one of the programs they'll cut.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's not necessary.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: No, it's not necessary.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is not a skill anybody.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Especially not these days exactly. And it's stretching it to
• 4:51
  call it a skill.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah,
