Saw several folks head to the Hill after high school, be home in a couple of semesters, have to regroup and try again at UCA etc...

It's a damn shame the way kids are forced to pick what they want be for the rest of their life right out of high school when most are far from mature enough to make that decision. And they are led to believe they should work a 40 hour a week job that they most likely wont like till they reach an old age that they are able to hopefully retire. frick that. I'll drop everything and go be a beach bum before I get stuck working 40 hrs a week at a career I don't like.

I'm glad I had the opportunity to try different stuff and find a career path that I know I'll enjoy doing the rest of my life. I thought it was gonna be working for my dad doing land surveying and civil engineering. But I wouldn't have enjoyed doing that the rest of my life. Once I realized to make the kind of money my family has made all I needed was to invest my income/capital wisely, I wanted to make that capital doing something I enjoy doing the rest of my life.
