Hhhmmm. College doesn’t count if you come back between years or right after, IMO. I, therefore left at 21, back again at 22, left again at 23, back at 25 for six months (with a husband), left for five years….but then, back at 30 for TWO YEARS (only this time with a husband AND an baby) and now I’ve been out for eight years….BUT… they keep asking why we can’t buy a house and all live together… Go Figure.
