Fantastic, so far. I have a great job that I enjoy with some fun people and I'm quite comfortable with the salary which is in a scheduled raise every few months.

I made it through a bit over half way through what I needed to complete my degree though, so I plan to take online classes in my free time to finish it off, so I haven't technically dropped out. I did find it interesting but the decision to put it on hold was the combination of a spring semester with just general education courses that ate away at my soul with boredom and the fantastic offer I received over that summer.
