I put my degree on hold because I just couldn’t summon the motivation at the time to finish. 2 subjects shy of graduating.
FF 8 years later and my then current boss asks about it, I said I’d never finished it because reasons. He offers to help pay for any subjects I need to take to complete. It turns out if I’d left it on hold for any longer I would have forfeited the whole thing.
He not only paid the money for me to finish those last two subjects; once I graduated he bumped my pay substantially because now he had a university-educated staff member on the books.
