I think you just can't get a second one from the same college.

I just barely started reading it, and thought the "going back to school" thing was very strange. If you already have a bachelor's from somewhere, doesn't that usually mean you can't go for a bachelor's from somewhere else?


This is because you went to BYU, which won't admit people if they already have a bachelor's for another bachelor's. But that's just space issues, not that most universities won't let you get a second bachelor's.

Wait--did he go back to BYU for a second bachelor's? I just packed up my copy of the book, so I can't just go look.

yes, technical error, but none of us care all that much except as interesting trivia.

You can definitely get second bachelor's degrees though. My brother actually has two from the U.

Well, that's what I get for going to the U and writing about BYU.  At the U, they're desperate for whatever they can get -- I guess BYU is pickier.

And Gemm, I swear the book is in the mail.  My wife mailed it last week -- I'm actually surprised you haven't gotten it yet.  (And I mean it this time -- the book is actually in the mail.)
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier.

Heh, ok. As long as your pleasantly surprised that it is in the mail, then by all means I'll be patient.
