Contemplating Doing Something Radical For Myself

[Duckfan]

7. Well, here is some of the good news.

And a reason for my deciding if I want to to do this. I would be getting help financially which would GREATLY eliminate any kind of debt. Thats one reason. I kinda look at this as, "if I don't do this now, no second chance." As to the question of what subject, I want to teach English. Maybe English Lit. There is a local community college here that I attended back in 1980-82. I would love to be an inspiration to younger students there with dreams as I did. And if you're in Eugene you know which college I'm referring to.

But not to sound naive, I still have no idea what a "dissertation" is. Is that what you mean by presentation? On what?

I know DU is not the typical place to go for this kind of question. But it was available. Therefore, I ask. Your insight and answers are appreciated. And BTW, for the record, I'm no spring chicken. Just hit the big 50 last month.
