Like most young adults, Ronald Endris, adjunct professor of geology, went to college right out of high school. He said he did not feel as though college was for him, so he decided to quit attending. However, it did not take long for Endris to realize he had made a mistake. He realized he wanted to go back to school. Endris said quitting college and then re-attending was the biggest turning point in his life. “At the time, I had a wife and two kids,” Endris said. “I saved money to go to school while working for a paint company.”
