Doesn't surprise me.

I would not want to be going into undergrad right now.

Care to elaborate as to why? I started college right after high school, but found it just wasn't for me. I enlisted in the army and developed my IT skills. I realized that unless I further my skills, I was going to be stuck within a certain salary range (although that hasn't been the case yet). Ideally I'd like a 6 digit salary, which isn't as far fetched as it sounds. I'm still working on my skill set and going to college. I'm a sophomore now and I look back at all the mistakes I'd made during my first year of college. I think I'm more prepared now that I'm older, but we'll see.
