[QUOTE="retrieverman, post: 2249055, member: 24452"] I went to college because it was expected of me, and my grades reflected the fact that I had no business being there. After two years, I married my childhood sweetheart, and after another couple years, we were going to be parents. My wife graduated, and I got offered my first "real" job and took it with one class left to graduate. For the next year, I worked nights at my primary job and ran a Brangus ranch during the day, and after a year, I was offered another job and took it for more money, and we were able to move back closer to home to the baby sitters (grandparents). After another year, the company I was working for offered to pay for me to take my last college class, and I finally graduated. It only took 7 years from start to finish. My oldest son is going the 4 (or maybe 5) year college route, but my youngest son is finishing up taxidermy school this week and is going to give that a try for a while. He had intended to start EMT and fire school in the fall, but he is only 19 and wants to try making taxidermy a career first. After spending several years punching someone else's clock, I started an ag service business and have been at it for 14 years, and the business has grown every year. My advice to the OP is to explore your options. Don't do ANYTHING because someone else thinks it is a good idea. [/QUOTE]
