Yeah but correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the point of an education to get a better job? And isn't the point of getting a better job to make more money?

Well I make more money* than my "teachers" so shouldn't they be the ones taking lessons from me?


*More per hour currently and were I working full time as they are I'd have a higher gross income every year.

it's not how rich you are, it's how rich is your life!

the misconception is money brings happiness! I know plenty of unhappy rich people, who commit suicide, are addicted to drugs, and can't maintain lifelong marriages, and then the opposite too, broke, homeless, alcoholics, drug addicts, who kill themselves more slowly.

Thanks, my plan after college is to hopefully buy into a dairy farm with my dad and run the crops and mechanical side of the farm while learing the animal side of it from him over time, and hopefully when hes ready to start retiring ill be able to take over it and run it for the most part by myself while my dad is still there for advise.
