I attending Howard university out of high school, after getting my bachelors in science for nursing I transferred to Morehouse to obtain a masters in psychology but didn't finish. I ended up going to PA school which I had a career in for 7 years. I moved back home to take care of my mother and now I work for P&G.
I'm very glad to see that most people on this forum are well educated and most importantly are also very respectful. This is the first forum I've seen that makes an uneducated low life or thug stand out like a sore thumb when they come here to post something.
Sadly, I got my bachelor's degree in law enforcement. I wanted to be a cop back then but found out it wasn't what I wanted to do. I didn't want a job that would follow me everywhere I go 24/7. Plus it didn't make any sense for me to enforce laws on others that I would break myself. I didn't want to be a hypocrite like 99.9% of the cops out there. Wasted 4 years and money on that useless degree but it did helped give me the brains I have today. Now I'm in the real estate business and I can't complain about it. My life is now surrounded by positive people with big goals and dreams. Life so far is good!
How I got into dog???...Well, let's just say this...I was raised up exposed to bull fighting, buffalo fighting, cock fighting, insect fighting, etc...so I always had a thing for animal combat! I had hunting dogs before I owned my first game dog. I got my first pit bull to catch wild hogs and to run him with my other hunting dogs but things didn't turned out like how I planned when my pit bull turned 5 month old. He became greedy and started turning onto his pack members...so I got rid of all my hunting dogs and kept him and my journey started from there.
A law enforcement background is good to know where you stand ... and there are a lot of cops into the dogs actually.
Hollingsworth was a sheriff ... Jesse Rods was a state trooper ... Norman Hooten was a sheriff I believe ... Jim Volland was a cop ... and Jack Kelly was also a cop.
Don't forget, dog matches also used to be reported in The Police Gazette ... so there is a lot of history with these dogs being associated with cops.

Yup, dont forget the boys of some the Tonka dogs fame.. Skipper & Co they were officers of the law as well.
I'm late but i have a BS in Accounting and a MBA. Sad part is I hate working in an office.
I studied two yrs at a private college that was close to home and studied education. After that I went on to USC to stud psychology. My wife has the same degree but is going after her masters right now and I'm thinking about going back also
I own 3 businesses and I work as a full time engineer. Had plenty of education and hearing their thoughts on bulldog owners is about as wrong as it gets in my opinion
Just walked the stage this year received my Bachelors of religious studies from LU. Had to start over because my first associate degree was from an unaccredited institution. Still in school at this time and I am always learning and trying to apply what I can where I can. But honestly having served in two branches of armed service , working as a behavior assistant for trouble teens, being a chaplain at 21 , and other life experiences have enriched me more than the colleges I have studied at. Today my wife and I homeschool our children and I still try to remain teachable. I am drawn to this site because it was developed by one who proves the stigma about the owners of our breed to be unfounded and outright foolish.
