Funny thing about this thread is that it's hard for me to actually remember any bad advice. I can think of a lot of good advice that I'm glad I've heeded over the years.
I wonder about that. I mean, yeah, I feel like that's true. But I also wonder if I just don't retain that kind of thing. Believe me, I have had plenty of jackasses in my life, and I'm sure they've given me bad advice. I just don't think I listened to them very closely.You must have had some wise and good hearted people in your life that cared about you and gave you good advice. Not all of us were so lucky!
My grandfather and father were carpenters. It just went with the territory growing up. My oldest brother owns a large construction company. My other brother does carpentry regularly in his work. It came easy for them. I have a hard time drawing a straight line with a square in my hand. I can frame no problem but finish carpentry is a whole other level and like you said, an art.I so wish I had good carpentry skills. I watch some finished carpenters I know make things and I watch them with wonder in my eyes. There's not just skill involved in good carpentry, there's an art to it.
A close friend of mine out here is a landscaper. When people ask what he does he says "I cut grass for a living." And that's the majority of the work he does.
He earns over 250 grand a year, every year. We call him the Marquise de Sod.
It’s the reality I am living. I am in college now and it honestly feels like a huge waste. The reality is, that it’s such a brainwashing environment it’s insane.Whew! Have you ever bought completely into the "you must go to college to be someone" lie.
il give you some more advice, qualifications are like having your own gold mine, provived you pick the right ones and computer science sounds good to me. people who only kbow how to change a hard drive/ ram/ processors make a good living out of the fact that most people are clueless.It’s the reality I am living. I am in college now and it honestly feels like a huge waste. The reality is, that it’s such a brainwashing environment it’s insane.
Everyone thinks the same, and God forbid you go against the status quo. I am studying for a degree in computer science which I have no interest in. I have just started my second semester and I have already thought to myself multiple times that I should have enlisted in the army. Though I will admit that I am too scared of deployment to join.
The only reasons I am even moderately attached to staying are due to me not being able to find a job due to the pandemic, and my family refusing to provide any support unless I am studying in uni. I also want to go to an exchange in Japan at the Tokyo university for my third year.
I also plan to get a good job with my degree so that I can earn up to but a place to open a dojo. I am staying in university for literally everything but the education.
Worst advice I’ve ever gotten? Go to university.
