Instead of going straight to University and getting a whopping debt at 18 years old plastered to my name, my best friend Matt and I are saving all our money this year and moving to old Quebec in the summer where we will live for wine and music. When the summer is over we'll come back to Grand Falls and work at McCains for 12 dollars an hour, for approximately a year (saving roughly 20 000 dollars each), then we're going to move to Amsterdam! Its going to be unforgettable.
best laid plans and all that ... debt IS always a good thing to as much as possible avoid. education is good too. real education. if you can't get it formaly without indebtedness, it is indeed good to seek it else where. always be studying and learning something. that's the thing. credit for it is useful or so they say. what you actualy know how to do you can always use for yourself, even if you can't get someone to pay you to use it for them. good luck with your plan(s). not sure how much this has to do with anyone else's "the" future. other thing about plans: you can't really ever expect to be always able to fallow them. realize that nature's diversity is just that. ok to map out intentions though. just keep in mind that you can't ever completely depend on being able to fallow them. just as unexpected stumbles beset us all, unexpected opportunities sometimes do as well. so it is a good plan to keep eyes open for them and be able to put them to good use. =^^= .../\...
Themnax, I don't think you've ever wasted a word on these forums, everything you say drips with wisdom.
Second that. between Occam, Themnax, Hikuruzero and soaringeagle there is great widom and sound, sage advice. from the heart.
