Don't throw away those proportioning valves, just clean them up and flush out the old brake fluid. The junk in the rear lines never gets cleaned out during a normal flush. Besides, without the valves you will find the rear brakes locking up when ever the road is damp. Driving in snow will become impossible.

Regarding school, I did that too. It took 30 years for me to finally get a degree. Don't do the same thing. Take at least one course every semester, save up enough money to go back and finish if you can. Some of the courses are VERY boring, especially the required ones. They are designed that way, to get rid of students that really have no desire to succeed. Most schools now have some courses on the internet, take advantage of it. It doesn't matter if your degree is in underwater basket weaving or pre med, just get one.
