>would I have done it differently?I left University need 5 credit hrs for a degree in accounting as I was offered to run a guys welding truck for 60 dollars/hr in 1982 which was outrageous pay for back then. I was tired of starving my way through college without taking loans on.
I never looked back. It only even mildly bothers me even now as a worn out old man. I have no regrets. Would I do it differently in another life? Maybe but probably not. To each his own.
Its like my best friend in Highschool to our teacher when she was griping at him for fail class and saying he would have to cut pulp wood for a living if he didn't study. He told her "Someones got to dig the ditches" HA.
haha, i got a lot of free applications from certain schools i knew i was waaaay too blue collar for. i always think about what if i actually applied to them as myself instead of Luke Skywalker.....
oh man, i wrote the BEST essay for Columbia tho, i should have somehow kept a copy. it was a gem i tell ya. The prompt was to talk about a time you overcame adversity and i gave them 500 words about how humbling it is to call upon the Force for the first time at the end of a Death Star trench run, after seeing your lifelong buddy Biggs get blasted. oh it was great.
