Education != Intelligence

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Some things though, are necessary evils.

I have returned to school to complete the task I started years ago -- a B.S. degree. It is more difficult now than ever. I'm taking classes part-time and working full-time, I have a wife & daughter and I commute to work/school 30+ minutes. I'm still trying to do things around the house (like mowing) but I don't know how much of that I'll really get to do. I'm taking 5 credit hours this semester, so my free time is limited. I'd like to eat and sleep some of the time.

I wouldn't even bother with the degree at this point, but I would like to think I didn't waste all that time and money the first time around. I hate being wasteful. I mean, I have a decent job, I make OK money and we have everything we NEED. I do wish we were a little better off and I'd like to set an example for my child(ren). It's not ALL about me in the end.
