Many students can't wait to be done with school, but not Michael Nicholson. The 71-year-old Michigan man has earned 29 college degrees and is now pursuing his 30th:
ABC News has the story: Link"I just stayed in school and took menial jobs to pay for the education and just made a point of getting more degrees and eventually I retired so that I could go full-time to school," Nicholson told ABCNews.com.
"It's stimulation to go to the class, look at the material that's required and meet the teacher and students. It makes life interesting for me," he said. "Otherwise, things would be pretty dull."
Nicholson has one bachelor's degree, two associate's degrees, 22 master's degrees, three specialist degrees and one doctoral degree.
Why?
WHHYYYY?!
Whatever floats your boat, but it seems to me to be the waste of an education if you're not going to use it for anything other then bragging rights for being the MOST EDUCATED PERSON EVAR
Rub it in codger..... funny how if he used up more gas, or water or food than anyone, we'd be disgusted.
What makes him any different than an Olympic athlete? How much time do people spend gaming? Acquiring material wealth?
How about you get apostrophes figured out first?
