[QUOTE="Jackburton, post: 2338560, member: 34538"] Dropped out of high school when I knocked up a girl in 11th grade. Worked two jobs while living at her parents house with our child. Got my GED while doing both jobs. One of the jobs I rose through the ranks in a retail environment to the point I managed 5 managers and 50 employees underneath them, 28,000 square foot store. Got to the point I was making 80k 17 years ago, quit due to 6 day work weeks salary as store manager and came to work at UPS PT for the insurance. Was offered PT management at interview and declined. Became FT driver and the rest is history, probably left a few :censored:ty parts out. Do I wish I could have gone to college, sure. Do I regret not going, getting out in the workforce instead, no. Is college for everyone, no. My daughter doesn't know what she wants to do with her life, thinking of doing history degree on my dime to become an archivist or archeologist. Not sure I agree with it but perusing her dreams is a luxury I wasn't afforded. Might turn into a wasted degree, but I don't see anyone here posting they wanted to be a UPS driver when they grew up either. But no, I didn't go to college. [/QUOTE]
