Yes I am sure I have disappointed my whole family because I refused to
pay a ridiculous fee. I am proud of what I have accomplished, I have
a bachelor and a masters degree and have a great job and family. I
just choose not to throw my money away, I do thank you for your
concern.
Well I can see this is going nowhere. You are just as stubborn as I
am. You have your opinions and I have mine, we both think we are
right and that is not going to change. So lets leave it at that. I
wish you the best of luck in all you do.
