Thats true.

I know a guy who sells real estate with a high school education. He makes more in a year than any of the PhD's that have ever taught me.

As much as I value my education it still is possible for a man to make a good living doing work that doesnt require a college degree.

The biggest difference between me and Ted Turner is risk management.

You are going to spend a lot of time on the job so find one you enjoy.

Things just went running smoothly at all and the guy I was with kept saying "were bating ah thousand today" it made me laugh, he said it about 20 times all day long.

While at work I get a call from a Cable company I applied for asking me to come in for an interview and that they were very interested, they told me $14 hr. was acceptable. Now I took this helper job with my dad and I would feel like a total ass if I went with the cable company, I'm thinking I will have more back and growth with this plumping company. What do you guys think? The cable company is "Charter Communications" and the job would be a "cable technician" I probably wouldn't have to get up as early and I would be getting the same wages. ( I get up at 5:30 am now, work starts at 7:00 am) Please let me know your thoughts

Thanks again
If it were me, I'd stay with dad. Good opportunities.

Glad to hear it is going well! Nothing like the spectre of a raise to keep you bright eyed and bushy tailed!
