Jobs and School

[jeanice]

John is graduating Thursday. Larkin found John a job working with him. The main draw to this is John will be making more than minimum wage. Although, I'm pretty sure everyone is going to make him work his ass off. John is probably going to move in with us temporarily, like this weekend. Which will be loads of fun

Dude? $400 a month? Crazy. I pay like $250, and that's enough of a burden. I can't even imagine what his insurance payments are (mine are high enough, but I'm sure his are through the roof

I'm pretty sure I'm going to 'help' John pick his classes for college. I'm pretty good at that stuff. I can't tell you how many councilors I've talked to that have no flipping clue what they were doing. Unless their objective was to get you to take a bunch of useless classes that would never work toward a major and waste all you money.

Now that I stay at home with kids you don't know how many times I wish I got a teaching degree. I mean what the hell am I going to do with a Business Management degree after staying at home for 6 years.

i completely disagree with john waiting to find out what he wants to do before going to college. i felt like actually taking all those stupid core corriculum classes help me decide what to do. remember? i wanted to be a forensic scientist. i was majoring in biology. but i failed genetics and got a sympathy pass in all my chemistry classes. but in the mean time i took a silly criminal justice class at montomery community college that i loved even before i decided on changing majors.
i feel that if i had waited, i NEVER would have gone to college. i HATED school. i still hate school. i don't want to get my masters, and i probably never will. but right after high school, you're still used to going to school. if he starts going to work, and getting paid, and living on his own...plfffth.
