College...

So my oldest son, Chance, came up to me today and asked me: "Dad, why didn't you go to college?"... LOL! So I proceeded to tell him, "Well, son, I did go to college... Multiple times..."

Funny! Or at least I found it humorous! I actually DID go to college, I went to Pensacola Christian College in the beginning, and after a semester and a half, left... When I left, the dean actually came to the hotel room I had gone to and begged me to come back, I didn't. A few years later I decided to give it another go and went to Columbus State Community College and Ohio State, signed up for both, but then thought better of it after listening to a few of the professors. Then a few years later I signed up to go to the University of Tennessee, and actually went to a few classes, walked out of most of them because the professors were so ignorant. The funny thing is, I signed up to go to UT THREE times! Each time I walked out of each class thinking to myself, who ARE these fools!

So no, I never went to college, or at least never finished college, I went plenty of times. I think the vast majority of professors are there because it is a safe haven for their liberal rhetoric, and they simply try to brainwash the kids and push their left wing agenda... I also don't buy into the whole graduate from high school, go to college, get a job, work till you're 65 or 70, then retire and if you didn't save enough for retirement, the government will take care of you, but you might have to take a part time job at WalMart or McDonalds to make ends meet, but we don't care mentality...

I'm more of the opinion, find out what you like to do and then find a way to make a living doing it, to hell with college unless you need it (such as becoming a doctor, etc)... The VAST majority of people who WORK, HATE their jobs! That should be a HUGE clue. It's not though, for most... I see SO many people go through life, hating their JOBS, barely making it, and hating life... What is that? Find out what you like to do, and do it!

Trying to teach that mentality to kids, particularly my own, is difficult at best! We'll see how that works out. If they want to go to college, I'll send them, no doubt. I don't sit around and bitch about college at all, I hardly ever talk about it except when asked, and I was asked tonight. So I answered honestly...
