Hey RORT. If you're still following this thread. Is Mr. Orr still teaching over there? I went to school with is son. He and his sister could play almost any instrumnet handed to them. Always envied people that could play one, anyone.
Going to school just to go is pointless and proven. Years spent in a class learning something that you will not profit from is a waste of time that could be spent making money(saving and investing) and progressing through the ranks of an employer.
To be happy at work you must first be happy to work. Being able to work at what you enjoy is a privilege. I enjoy working outdoors so anything outside is good for me. I'm lucky to have a job with great rewards for working for them and being outside too.
All my nephews and nieces have gone and are going to school and taking non rewarding classes. They took what was available at the schools they wanted to attend. Stupid reason to attend and a waste of time and money going forward. But it gives their parents, my brothers and sisters, the fuzzy feeling their kids are college grads. When in reality it was nothing more than the 12th through 15th grade.
Being a stock person at Whole Foods or salesperson at Nordstrom because you like clothes is no future.
Had I to do it all over again being me. Straight to the military in one form or another. Sad state is, a lot who enter come out with the same they went in with. Seaman Recruit, Private-Army or Marines, Airman Basic. What a waste of three years.
Getting paid and an education at the same time is a win win situation. Just as going to college or university. Make it worth the while. I am nothing but a $6 an hour guy making $30 an hour. Very very lucky. I lose this job I go back to making nothing.
An education in a field that is always in need is the best thing anyone could have. My wife is in the medical field as an Occupational Therapist. She gets job offers everyday and for anywhere in the world and names her salary.
Guess what I'd be in the military if I could do it again.
