there is a side of this no one has talked about yet.
I'm assuming you mean skipping college entirely and becoming a gigolo? I tried it for a bit after high school. Realized that if I couldn't get girls to date me when I was paying for dinner, it wouldn't work the other way around. So I went into the Air Force instead because, I mean who goes into the army voluntarily.

And a test facility for all things insane? Such as bringing back race wars and race divisions? Anti white people....entirely? It's acceptable to be 'confused' about your sex, race, homosexuality, or whether your an alien or not? That it is healthy to have safe spaces that are a danger to those who don't believe in them? I think I'm drawing a blank here...Oh wait, that there are classes on white privilege? Which makes about as much sense as a unicorn eating its rainbow colored fecal matter. The significant threat against men and women who believe in Christianity? That there are kids getting expelled for reasons once protected, such as disagreeing with an instructor?Ok now I think I've hit my blank spot, so a little help would be good.This is me just guessing at the one point we missed, after reading it, it seems like an angry rant which it is not, well at least not at any one here.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My wife and I have had this conversation a lot (especially as relates to our son but in general about America in general). College has become like just another HS. but you end up with significant debt. Yes for some it's the only path (Dr., Lawyer, and many others as well). But the push to go to college has been at the expense of the trades (as others have said). One of my sons friends is a plumber....right out of HS, working on his ticket under a licensed guy, was making 75-80K. Society has collectively looked down our/their noses at a lot of this and we've pushed kids into college when that's the last place a lot of guys should go. Even our local voc-tech school crows about how many kids go on to college. I would be much happier if they said how many were working with the skills they learned from the school (so kids who went through plumbing training were working as plumbers, electricians as electricians etc.). Voke schools are supposed to provide real world skills and training and if the kids who went to school to learn how to be an electrician have all left the field and are unloading trucks at Wal-Mart the school has failed IMO. Anyway....suffice to say there is a lot of agreement here that college is not the path for everyone. Nor should it be. I just want to encourage my kids to find the path that works for them, and work hard. If that's college, I will support them. But if it's another path, so be it. Just work hard and give your all. The path will be different but no less rewarding in my mind.I'll shut up now. Ha.
We need more guys in trades! Tradecraft is going down, but the amount of tradesman is dropping faster, thanks to an entire generation pushing their kids into college because they "wanted their kids to better than them and make more money, and not have to work so hard" blah blah blah.that's just my take on it.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
He also fished if I recall correctly.....

Sam,what do you do to keep your truck running (fuel wise) in those cold temps?what additives and or fuel heaters are you using?
If someone would start a strictly conservative college, I bet they would have a trail beat to their door
I always ran the white bottle 911 when it got to single digits & below. If I recall correctly the red bottle 911 was if you were already gelled up. Never had an issue as long as I followed those rules.
