    I was asked what my educational background was or if I had a degree. I have attended college however I did not graduate. I have been successful in my career and wondered what a good response would be. This is what I sent:

    I have had several years of college attendance listed below. However during my studies an opportunity in sales presented itself and I turned it into a rewarding career. As you can see by my resume I have had but 3 employers for my entire working life. While I value it's importance it has not been a detriment to my success.

    Hi again, AlanAnderson!

    So, it would seem that you've already sent that response to a potential employer. Is that correct? Are you also going for other jobs? If so, what kind of jobs, please?

    If you're asked that kind of question again, we can work on a way to word your answer so that it would look the best for you.

    Thanks!
