school or lack thereof

[hcs]

finished first year of college yesterday, my grades apparently have made my parents think it is a waste of money so its likely I'll be working next year instead of going back to school. The thing is that I might prefer this, I've been questioning whether I actually belong in school for a long time and I was never able to motivate myself to put up with the shit I need to go through to get a degree. I think & hope getting some experience and doing something that actually needs doing will be a good move.

i did a year of community college in california. way affordable. i just quit cuz i thought it sucked. <img src=smilies/magbiggrin.gif>

of course here I am about to turn 30 and thinking could it have been such a bad thing to tackle that degree situation when i was still "starting out" in life? probably not.

i would be getting paid more money for doing the exact same job i am now, managing the same set of responsibilities - except i'd have a paper that certifies i'm capable, rather than just my work performance. <img src=smilies/upeyes.gif>

but the fact remains, college certainly wasn't for me at that time. pulling my head out was. at which point, i should have promptly returned to college.

now i have to become a rock star and fuck lots of hot young chicks.

life isn't fair.
