I sorta, kinda lucke into a Master's at the local university. The dean
of students had been after me for some time to take a C.L.E.P. test to
see where I'd land (College Level Entrance Preparedness). And I kept
putting him off. Then one fine afternoon he showed up at the perpetual
pinochle game in the student union and informed me that he had paid my
registratopn for the following wek end.
It was kind of neat. I took their batery of tests, audited on post-grad
level course and wrote a nice papaer. Prest-Change-O,Bob's your uncle.
I had a Master's in Public Affairs Reporting.
