I've been a truck driver, dockworker, landscaper, nightclub DJ, escort manager, IT consultant, drug dealer, doorman. Right now I earn my living consulting by day and moonlighting as a doorman...I net probably somewhere in the range of 70-80k own 2 houses ( one was inherited), 1 car (my linc tc...ownz you), 1 gf and 0 chillunz (ATM). I'm a happy fucker! Like someone else said, I could do without the car, I could do without the houses, the most important things to me are: 1. Food & Clean water. 2. Shelter. 3. Friends & Family.

Waste of money and time that could be spent learning something that you'll actually do in your career. |
I understand the point you are trying to make, but I disagree. You may not directly use some of things you have learned, but don't think that it doesn't influence every action you take in life. Everything I know about history, science, math, art, sports, etc. ALL come into play one way or another. I guess my point is that everything that a person learns sways his/her frame of reference and/or 'world view'... even if not directly pertaining to a given situation (as you stated history w/ sports training). I may not use Civil War statistics directly, but my knowledge of what happened and things like that sway the way I view current events - just an example.

The more I go to church, the more I realize all you need is: 1. food 2. water 3. love 4. enough money to provide your family you really dont NEED anything other than that. everything else is gravy. infact, more money, more problems. Of course assfit disagrees with my first post  But yeah, Im saying if you go to school for 4 years, pay 20K a year for school, that is 80K in debt. If you make 40K a year to start, just how long will it take just to pay that money back????? think about it. college is a fucking scam. Big Daddy Autoplow

True, it's no coincidence, most poor uneducated people, who win the lottery, eventually go broke. And educated people can make money, even in tough economic times.

Is it just me, or does it seem like the fuckers in line for lotto tickets are ALL poor and/or uneducated? Yes, I'm basing this on looks, demeanor, and sometimes smell. I've never seen a person in a suit and tie buy a lotto ticket. Yes, I'm sure there are many exceptions (I give out handfuls of scratch-offs to family and friends at Christmas parties just for fun)... I'm just noting a general trend that I have noticed.

No, but I would if you were an apprentice working and learning under a heart surgeon for 5-6 years. I didn't mention just learning from books. I also mentioned a vo-tech approach to school.
