Chapter 20... Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise

*Manhattan, Manhattan, Manhattan* EXCERPT: Online degrees were a dime a dozen, especially those with religious affiliations, so it would have been easy peasy if I self-identified as Christian. But because I was unwilling to earn a degree from a Christian institution, my 4,000 options dwindled to approximately four. And two of the four were Harvard and Yale. So, mere acceptance was already looking like a pitfall. Then, assuming I could jump the hurdles of getting into these schools, the shortest program would take over two years and require a semester or two of prerequisites. Then, assuming I could figure out how to disappear into academia for three years, there was the matter of tuition. Three years of my life and hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt? No, thanks. Not this time around.

Author's Note: Hey, sorry guys! I accidentally deleted the old Chapter 20 instead of just updating the audio file, but I've replaced it here in its full glory.  I hope that doesn't throw a wrench in your listening chronology, but I have faith that you are all clever enough to figure out how to get from one chapter to the next in the right order, even if the dates of release are a little wonky. Thanks for your patience!
