I am sorry, but you're not a college graduate.

I am sorry, but an associates degree or a certificate from a trade school, is not a college degree!!
I have had many friends, and their husbands posting that they "graduated college." One even said, "Mom, you finally raised a college graduate." I am sorry but your AA from community college does not make you a college graduate. Going to Beauty School doesn't make you a college graduate. Going to Culinary school, or automobile school, or any other technical school does not make you a college graduate. I have taught at a technical school before, there is a HUGE difference. I got my AA before I went on to finish and complete a college degree -- there is a HUGE difference.
(I am not saying it's not something to be proud of. It's a lot better then nothing, and even better than most. But you are not a college graduate. No college party, or gifts, or huge celebration! I worked hard for 4 years, and now signed up for another 3 years. I have paid my "dues" and worked really hard to earn my college degree. Your little "certificates" are not the same. period!)
I can't believe of all the post I have made on CafeMom over the last several years that this ends up a featured post! I have always wanted a featured post. I know, sounds stupid! I just can't believe it was this post, of all the post I have made, this one became MY featured post!
For someone who taught at a community college you seem a bit oddly advised.
An associate's degree is a college degree. I'll agree that a certificate isn't comparable, but an AA or AS is indeed a college degree. I have no reason to argue it - I have no degree; my husband, however, received an AS before his bachelors and masters. It's a degree all the same.

I believe in the benefit of organized after school activities and nosy, involved parents. I believe in spoiling my children. I believe that I have seen the village and I do not want it anywhere near my children. Now for the controversial stuff: we have traditional gender roles, we're Catholic, I'm Libertarian, he's Republican, we're both conservative, and we own guns (now there's no need to ask, lol). Aimee
are you ok with another woman calling your husband "hun" or "babe"
