haha. You have me wrong. I am a pot smoking worthless bastard with no job. I use loans to fund my school and life.

The secret is if you get this little paper they call a degree, they will pay you double what they normally would if you didn't have one. I don't care much about learning, sure, I know enough to get by well, but thats all it is. Yeah, I have cheated on alot of stuff in my day. I am by no means a role model or poster child for higher education. My friend Bill, he is a good guy. He did 2 years in prison for B&E. He is really smart and in touch with things. He can understand complex problems and solve them well. However, he dropped out of high school, made some bad choices and found himself in prison. He gets paid 9/hr as a mechanic and gets by. But he had alot of potential that was lost by his 'lack of motivation' in his younger years.

This is coming from a hispanic person. I am 8th generation American. Alot of people can't say that. Everyone (cept a few) in my extended family has a college degree. They do very well for themselves. Education opens up doors, there is no denying that...my family is living proof. Now read the first lines of this post.....thats how I know.
