Man, you guys are starting to sound like my parents :yikes:  I guess I am too :smack:

I'm 21, and I'm in my 3rd year of college. I've got a lot of GE done at a CSU, and I'll graduate with my AA in Fire Tech this spring.  All along the way, I keep hearing, stay in school, get your degree.  I really don't want to to do that, even though it is probably the best thing.  You're gonna be learning you're whole life, stay in school as much as you can.  You may find bigger and better things, or you may work doing what you're doing right now for the rest of your life.  However, the more schooling and knowledgwe you have, the more marketable you are.  Stick with it dude, even if you don't want to.  right now I'm making $145 an hour, which is awesome, but its a drop in the bucket if you start adding in a house, cars, kids, etc.
:usa: Its better to die on your feet than live on your knees :usa:

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "

"I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves."

Don't take life too seriously, it isn't permanent
