Like how to be a doctor, or a chemical engineer or something?

You can get "book learning" without college, but just like plumbing or welding there's a lot of technique in certain professions you can only get in labs and with instructed practice.

The USA was almost always ahead expect maybe somewhere in Europe Switzerland or Japan that had a local understanding of species a certain skill set or exact specific knowledge
it was cheaper affordable and even during recession the US economy had an upward direction coming
You did business cool, your lectures gave you ideas, international business, computer business, cultural studies overseas trade and spreads and presentations that apply in other parts of the Americas and other cultures, corporate law and other international accounting practices, you got it all and hung around and networked with like minded people
Music, Arts then cool you learned to print, to play an instrument, to read and listen to melody, you got to network with another funny artist or an artist from another family of artists from Eastern Europe, you had so many skilled American artists in your school, your teachers gave you a history of music
Chemistry great, you got its applications in biology, in manufacturing and electronic products, you got to know the biology of the environment and air pollution control and the chemical gizmos and lab experiments and gadgets of the time



problems now
1
your Chatbot is smarter than your teacher
2
University College became political battle sites of indoctrination
3
its too expensive now
4
There is no guarantee of jobs anymore, you pu5t in time but have a worthless degree
5
the rest of the world avoided wars and got smarter...meanwhile Campus is full of graffiti and its political battles between two retard parties the Q-Anon and Antifa...China, Spain etc they dont get overtaken by riots and they have better infrastructure, the latest gizmos and labs

and Six...the Ivy league stuff, the elites they have become worse than the lowest of university and college...biggest old money brained frat bot sisterhood scam of them all
it was a scam since day one, the old elite rooms and dorms and Faculty Academia Functions for old Royal Money?
Half of those places held the traitors, they have the wrong guys when the USA won, the bad guys after the Revolution War or War of Independence.
They were owned on day one, long before Epstein Israeli money or Saudi money got in there.

I can't even count the amount of times now I should have been dead. When I was younger I used to fool myself into thinking that there was a reason I was still here. That maybe I had some sort of purpose that had yet to be carried out.

Heh... No.

It's just random luck amidst the chaos. Could have happened to literally anyone and likely has a million times over.

I don't mean nothing, and I never have.

And that's fine.

I just want to live the rest of my life being left alone.

So it's really unfortunate I have to go back to work part time at a thankless minimum wage job working with and for garbage people.

Oh well...

I thought you were going to not work.

A freind of mine started working at Home Depot. Entry level job, but it is the highest hourly rate ($19) in the store. Called "Freight Team" - which is unloading the trucks and putting the merch on the store shelves. Mostly at night, some positions aree 20 hours per week, others 40 hours. Sounds like that would be up your alley. A decent workout, i guess.

Another guy I know does "lumber reclamation" or worn wood recovery. Which means taking old wood off old barns and such. Claims they pay upper 30's per hour, for DIY people. Pretty sure he is stomed all the time, and nobody seems to care, plus he works when he wants, or not. Here the company is called Board and Beam, but I assume they are all over.

Hubby thought he'd never live to 25. He took an insane number of personal and job risks. Repaired pin setters in bowling alleys at 15. Worked dangerous construction and factory jobs... digging out unreinforced ditches and basements, punchpresses without emergency stop buttons, repaired motorcycles for the Hell's Angels. Raced motorcycles in the dirt and cars on the street. That's not including walking thru a minefield at 8 y/o and surviving an abusive dad. He has OFTEN said he should have been dead many times.

You both sound very similar, you're both oppositional and very bright.

He's still here. You will be too, count on it. Depressing as that may sound to you!
