Coming Back to Reality

School is now only 2 weeks away. After a year hiatus, I am going back to college. Well, actually "community" college. But, it's progress nonetheless. I am pretty pumped about the whole situation. I realized that schooling is almost necessary. There are plenty of exceptions but why not go anyway for something to fall back on. You should always have a backup plan.

Over the last year off of school, I have accomplished NOTHING. Yes that is right - nothing. I have a theory why that is. When you don't have something like school or a steady job to handle, you will seriously lose focus on everything in life. Despite this, I still have no regrets about the year off. I mean you only live once so I guess a year off isn't going to kill me.

Without college, I don't see many places a person can go anymore in this day in age. I guess you could work your way up the company chain to make $12/hr. in about 15 years. Worth it? I think not. I will still respect any person however who chose to takes this road. They will probably do much harder work in a day than the typical businessman in month. Believe me, I have seen this first hand. The 40 hours a week guys are the hardest workers I can think of.

So, I am finally coming back down to earth. I am starting school and hopefully starting a new job. I really think the school year will help me focus on everything all together. I advise everyone to go to school if you can. If you don't, thats cool too but you better have a plan - a very good plan.
