I got my undergrad right out of HS and got a graduate degree about 22 years later in order to qualify for a promotion. The difference in degree of difficulty was night and day - especially when it came to any kind of research. It appeared to me that all you had to do was attend class to pass - not like the old days of anxiously waiting to see your grades posted in the hallway to see how you did like in the old days. ☮
