    Did we see this story about 1 or 2 years ago? The name sounds vaguely familiar. In any event, twenty-seven degrees is quite an achievement. And since he was a teacher for 18 years I wonder how many degrees were earned by the time he retired from teaching.

    Not sure if it is the same guy as in this thread of half a year ago:

    Some collect coins, some collect stamps, some collect sport cards, and he is the one to collect the tassles. Anyway, maybe learning is his hobby. I like the fact that he is not an "A" student, but he keeps learning.

    You Go, Dr. Nicholson!

    Yep. Everybody needs a hobby. There are definitely a lot worse things he could be doing with his time.

    Is there any use at all for his career? It is good to learn but 27 seems to be excessive.
