re post #8
My one daughter is a college grad.
Seven years of schooling and two years from now,at age 40 thinks she will be finally debt free, and own absolutely nothing. That's 22 years to break even where I started out at age 18. 25 years from now, she will be where I now am, 65 and probably net worth of $150,000..... on a good day.
But
She will never have kids. She will be 38 in three weeks and is going thru her change-of-life.
College ate; her past, her present, and her future, and her family,and a good part of her health. But oh yeah; she can vote, and she can make a man's wages ; whoohoo!
Ain't that swell.
When she was 18 I told her;
humans need food shelter and clothing. Get into one of those fields and you will always have work. But did she listen to me?, nooo
So I said humans also need transportation in this modern world.... so learn to sell cars or fix 'em. Did she listen?, nooo.
So I said Humans are sick a lot, and they have all bought into pharmacia, so become a pharmacist and you will never be without a job.But did she listen?,nooo
So I said, look humans need water, lots and lots of water. Get into water and you will never be without a job. But did she listen?, noooo
So I said, look, humans need to use the bathroom a lot, so learn to sell bathroom supplies or fix plumbing, and you will always have work. Nooo she didn't listen.
So I said look, humans create huge quantities of garbage, become a garbage collector, and you will always have work, noooo again.
This girl is none too bright.
She becomes a dental hygienist.
whoohooo,
That's a tough sell to any one without a dental plan. And it will be the first thing every human on the whole face of the earth is gonna forfeit when money gets tight. But we still gotta eat,drink, wear clothes, have shelter, and we still need azzwipe.
I love her sooooo much, but..... when God was handing out smarts, I think she was in the wrong line.
But when all is said and done..... I didn't listen to my Dad either. He said go to college get an education, and a good paying job,he said. Well I didn't, and I never missed it. College ain't for everyone,lol.
