I Am In College

In high school they pushed college down our throats but nothing interested me there nor was I going to pay good money to go for something o wasn’t sure about.

I took a few years for myself and worked simple jobs to make some money.

I had a niche for computers and went to the book store and got some guides which helped me and became certified in:

Comptia A+, Security +, and Network +

Got my CCNA and my CISSP.

Then went to trade school for cabling, electrical work, and carpentry.

Smart choices! I commend you. Learning to do something marketable is a wonderful thing in life. I wish I could convince my niece to do something like this. She is very bright but has struggled for years to find work. Nowadays people from vocational programs do just as well--or better--than a lot of 4 year college grads.

One of my close pals went to school for psychology and realized he wasted so much time and money. And is working at a pizza place. @greenmountaingal
