Actually, it's my boyfriend that will have the rec. degree after this summer. He wants to coach bball and organize games/camps/events like Shannon does. He tried education and special education (all his sibs are or are going to be teachers), but after he passed the tests everyone takes for those programs, he didn't meet the qualifications specific to our school I think the rec. degree will suit him very well. All he's really interested in is sports. Right now he coaches 4-8 yr olds gymnastics, a job I pressured him into but now he loves.

I started out as General Sciences and have in less than two years gone from that to Computer Science to Digital Communications to Business and now possibliy Business Communications
