2. Graduate with a Bachelors Degree

After six years (eight if you count the two I spent in high school earning my AA), I've finally done it!
It took a lot of work, a lot of sleepless nights (sometimes days without sleep), money and tons of support from family and friends. I couldn't have done it without my extensive support system.

Now the question remains. What do you do with a geography degree?
