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

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.

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.

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.
