- im3w1l 6y agoSounds like you weren't that motivated in the first place. Could have been a blessing in disguise to meet at hurdle sooner rather than later.
- Larrikin 6y agoNot having financial means to waste more time in college has no bearing on the person's motivation.
- idrios 6y agoHah, I'm still motivated but I was also pretty aware of the other comments being made here about higher education at the time (excessively political, funding sparse, job search difficulties for bio fields). I was lucky enough to get a scholarship for 4 years of undergrad and graduated with low debt. The extra semester would have doubled my debt with no guarantee I'd be better off after. I know things I could've done or could do now if I wanted to go back, but I think I'm more interested at the moment in how to make the research I want to do more accessible.
