I agree with you Morgan it does help.. and i'm willing to bet that 70+ % of jobs require you have a College degree before they will even look at your resume...

But again you said it, It kills me that they force stuff on you that you will actually never even need to do the job you want....Just further racking up your debt

I'm wanting to go into Mediflight and disaster relief, should start getting all that in the works by this coming spring

you are definitely not the average high school graduate ... look at the facts college graduates make way more money than the average high school graduate .. however i wasn't referring to you having to make straight a's in high school to get a job it comes down to more of a work ethic .. my dad is another example of that he grossed half a mil last year and the dude has 0 schooling after high school but he has the strongest work ethic of anyone i have ever seen ... too many kids have that attitude bc they know someone who didn't go to college and they are making a bunch of money they think that college doesn't benefit them

different strokes for different folks ....

it does come down to work ethic.. if you really want it bad enough like I did then you can do it, I am a firm believer in that.. My point was that they force kids to believe that if you don't do good in school and don't go to college that you have no chance to make it and that is a load of maniacal bull shit.. and I was out to prove a point to all the People and their malice intentions and demeaning things about how my life would end up..

My motto was I could either spend 60 to 70 grand or make it.... I took the other path, two each his own in this world.

and my point may seem illogical or egotistical but the fact remains why try to scare kids into thinking that their way is the only way... If anything it made me cast them out even more..

and 90% of the people I work with only graduated from High school and some of them were drop outs from high school and a good % of them make way more $$$ than I do

But anyway I've said my peace on the subject and it is what it is, take it with a grain of salt if you must but that's how I feel about it.

the only thing i ever try to scare kids about is having kids too soon. my kids will be in college with a plan but because they want to.

no telling man. i have to get re educated so thats not a good sign

yeah I hear you on that dude

Well I went to an orthopedic specialist today because my back has gotten so bad I almost couldn't get out of bed Wednesday morning. He ordered an MRI, which won't be until next Wednesday and thinks it's either a herniated disc fragment or severely inflamed nerve...basically either surgery or some localized injections.

He put me on a large steroid pack and loritab which means I'm now off the next four days even though I was supposed to work.......damn.

That sucks David.

Yeah, but at least I have an answer to what is causing it now. At this point I would club a baby seal with an endangered polar bear cub if I thought it would help.

Man that sucks, hope everything goes good

Damn dude that must really hurt to come to clubbing baby seals lol..

But hope you get it all fixed up man.

dave take it easy with the bad back bud. keep us informed with the dr. updates

I'm taking it pretty easy...it helps I get out of work for a few days (I have PLENTY of sick leave, so no worries there.) I've taken a few pills the last couple hours so I feel better now than I have in months!

yeha man sit back and enjoy your time off dude..

I am suppose to have sugery on my knee but I keep blowing it off because I hate the hospital.. I have a piece of bone from my knee that broke off a few years back.. There are days that I can't even walk on it most other days it just hurts all day..

I just need to suck it up and head to the hospital and do it..

Damn you young bastards are falling apart and the told me everything goes down hill when you hit 30. I had never broken a bone until the accident and was still backflipping on trampolines this time last year. I hope to he able to do that again, my kids hate that I dont play with them like I used to. And for some reason I have been dying to play basketball lately. Thats what im going to tell my dr. my goals are play with my kids and basketball

Mine happend when I was watching a set of surveyors trying to drive a side by side up a hill to look at a proposed well site and they flipped it because it was to steep... and me being a dumb ass my first instinct was try and grab the Rihno as it came flipping past me and the front end smashed my knee.. and I ended up at the bottom of the hill along with the Rhino..

Couldn't walk for 2 weeks on that leg.. Never went to the doctor until 4 months later

Alright Damn it! I'm driving to Pittsburgh for a meeting and I have been driving for 3 hours and there OS a Fucking fly in here that is relentless in his efforts to piss me off! I just had every window open for 15 min and that little bastard is still all up in my personal space..... Somethings gotta give

"Shoo fly don't bother me,
Shoo fly don't bother me,
Shoo fly don't bother me,
Cuz you bring to my friend link"

MEAT GROUP!

Anyone name that movie?

Dude I know where that's from I just can't name it Haha

That's how I am to lol

encino man?

winner!

Ok now that's really weird, cause I had a dream about that movie last night.

Sitting in a hotel in Little Rock all alone. Bored as hell. Ready to come home!

what the hell you doing in AR dude?

Im wondering the same thing lol

The mother ship for work is in Little Rock. Had my annual review today (which went well) then have our sales meeting tomorrow. Probably won't be done til 4 or 5 then I have a a 4 hour ride home. I'm with our outside sales guy in his company Impala. What an uncomfortable POS. For what he pays for it (nothing plus free gas card) I would drive it but it amazes me people actually pay money for these cars. A base model 3.5L charger is only a couple grand more and is 10x the car.

Thats why everyone just needs to drive a Mopar :D Have fun in Arkansas and be safe

Damn I need to go to sleep! Guess I'm a big pussy, I don't sleep well without my wife.

yeah it's weird being with someone every single night for long times and then them not being there..

and due to the fact of all the flooding I didn't really work today so I came home with the intentions to take a quick power nap and ended up sleeping for 4 hours! I am never going to be able to fall asleep tonight lol..

and it's only 11pm there 12am here.......I live in the future and you guys live in the past :signs6:

Lol. All I know is its past my bed time!

No doubt dude

Listen to you two, you're ridiculous...




....I was in bed at 10...with my wife. Then the kiddo woke up at 3:45 having a bad dream and said he saw a "strangler" which is "stranger" in human speak. Hearing that freaked me out just enough to do a walk around the house.

hahaha

i know. landon woke up and was at the front door screaming that there was an all black man outside by the tree in our yard that was enough to send chrissy off the deep end and i was walking around outside for about 15 minutes

Needless to say I felt better walking around the house last night with a firearm vs a metal bat.

^ wow racist lol jk jk

Dang sounds scary lol and I don't blame you Dave
