I selected "Less than Highschool". I left school in the middle of my first year of highschool.
I've been an voracious reader since I was 3. Always had a book under my nose. Unfortunately I didn't have a very good childhood and it sparked a lot of mental issues. I was completely incapable of sitting in a classroom. Sometimes I was too scared to leave the house. Still am sometimes.
I've always read above my grade level. I read everything from legal thrillers to horrors to historical fiction and fantasy. I read at least 2 hours everyday and that will never change. I think I've learned a lot from reading over the years about history and legal systems and various other things that I've done research on because I found the subject in a book I was reading at the time. I've been hired at 2 jobs in the past that required a college degree and I didn't have any problem doing the work that was required of me. I went from being an impound lot officer to an office administrator/controller, which is what I'm doing now.
My husband has a degree and he's never read a book in his life. Same with my ex. My mother has a college degree and she doesn't read. Yet the woman I work with has about as much education as I do and she reads all the time.
