I've always admired people who are willing to pick themselves up time after time and still try to make something productive out of their lives, no matter how far down they are or how late in life they start the effort:
Indiana Lt. Gov. Becky Skillman is using the recent earning of her first college degree
to urge others to do the same.
Skillman, 59, received an associate's degree with a concentration in business from Indiana
Alas, she's probably going to run for governor instead of doing something useful with her degree, like start a company and put some people to work. Never mind.

I'd hate to have to be the one to tell her that no one around here is going to hire a 59-year-old woman to do anything except wait tables.
I'm a 56-year-old man with a bachelor's and nobody will hire me to do anything.
Wow, so you can hold high state office without a degree? I don't know whether to be proud of her, or ashamed of myself for bothering to get one. Well, kudos to her for both accomplishments, and her positive attitude towards education.
