Comments (May be used for education / training institutions attended after high school along with dates):

After high school, moved to Southern California. Tried surfing for a year, but kept getting seasick. That's probably why the Navy wouldn't take me either.

Attended Hollywood University: 1963-1967, BS in Acting
School Story (Reflections such as highlights, lowlights, successes, regrets):

Thanks to my guidance teacher, I got a scholarship. I was good with numbers, so it was only natural that I work for the census bureau. Always knew my BS would be good for something.
