I plan retirement, taxes, do accounting, and even use algebra to help me determine the lowest prices of foods per pound, ounce, or some other measure. Since being out of college, I feel I've learned a lot more OUT than I did IN, even though I never finished. I never stopped learning, even though I quit going to campus--you should see my book shelves!

Unfortunately some of my coworkers went to some other school where they taught them crap and I'm always fixing it. Maybe I should say I'm using 15% of what I went to school for.
