[QUOTE="JaredC, post: 2437094, member: 20312"] I graduated high school a year early and went and worked on drilling rigs off the coast of California. Made more money than I could spend at 18.....But somehow I found a way to. If I had to do it over again I would join the military. I was soooooo close right out of high school, but just didnt do it....Took the ASVAB, and met with recruiters of each branch and all, but I guess I was blinded by the dollar signs. That and all my older friends who had been in the military were now in the oil field, so I figured Id get a head start. I guess that was my 18 yrs old wisdom. I think I would have went if someone pushed me a bit more, instead my Moms side of the family was dead set against it. But like I said, I would join the military in a split second if I had to do it over again. Id also tell any 18 yrs old male who wasn't interested in college to join as well. Oil field, drilling rigs especially, I guess would be a close second. I learned a ton and had no choice but to grow up when working among men 12-30 yrs my senior. [/QUOTE]
