Started going to Dery University to get my Accounting and Finance degree since my job had me listed as an Accountant with hardly any accounting history.

I was only going part-time from 2008-2011 so vI never completed to get my degree.

I stopped going because I was working a lot more hours (voluntarily) due to the cut-backs and more work being put on me with no assistance.
