[nabs-l] It's official!

[Joshua Lester]

David:
The General Education Degree, is actually a certificate, that covers
your basics.
This is a variety of courses, and doesn't specialize in any subject.
This isn't an education major, because I didn't major in anything.
This, is in a community college, BTW.
An education major, is working to become a teacher.
That's not what this is.
Blessings, Joshua
