I know someone who is Unipolar and got several degrees - me! I went back to school to finish my bachelor's degree 10 years after I finished an associates. The company I was working for said that as long as I took classes that were at least somewhat related to my work they would pay for it.
I finished my bachelor's degree and had been accepted into a Master's program when I developed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Unipolar depression. I worked full-time and went to school full-time for the next 10 years to complete the Master's and then a Ph.D. I was also drinking full-time too. It was an absolute miracle that I was able to do it all. Looking back it's hard to believe that I was actually able to do all that. So I'm living proof that it is possible.
