YORK COLLEGE — In the Fall of 1977, Pamela Rider enrolled in John Jay College for 12 credits in four classes intending to major in Criminal Justice. She got two A’s and two C’s.
Soldiering on, she kept at it until the Spring of 1980 when she took 18 credits and got straight D’s. Pressure to care for her family and the realization that criminal justice just wasn’t for her took their toll. She got a job with the US Postal Service and worked there until 2007 before retiring and going back to college.
