Sending children to college is cruel and unusual punishment.
For you AND them.
>When I was growing up, it was the only way to get a good job.
That's simply not true.
LEARN A TRADE!
ThanQ!
My father was sooo pissed when he found out that my first real job was paying $25/hr to start.
This was back in the early nineties.
At the time, he was working for the State DoT and was making something like $18/hr.
He had been there almost 15 years at that point.
Neither.
I lived like I made minimum wage and saved the rest.
I also never turned away 'gift-horses' out of pride.
This might have been mostly true 15 or 20 years ago.
Not these days.
I approve of this statement.
Much too old for that now.
If I had a do-over, I'd go with a friend of mine and become a Core Driller.
He used to get DOUBLE OVERTIME pay + HAZARD pay when the company sent him overseas.
EVERY CENT was banked at this point because his company paid for everything they needed.
6-8 months of work and it was like he'd worked 4 or more years.
Find your local IBEW.
Muh NOT drilling for oil.
$35K a month, sweet!
Agreed.
Unfortunately, kids these days have ZERO interest in actual hard work, discipline and, most importantly, restraint. (ESPECIALLY when it comes to spending).
