yeah, and with a bad *** retirement program, ill only be with the power division for as long as it takes to get in the docks at long beach, being a super or production manager over their working 4 hours a day banking nearly 150 is my kind of job, like i always say, its not how much you make, its how much you have to work to make it, imo the less you work and the more you make is the best position to have.

I am not the right color, make a good amount of money and was able to get full funding almost on all my student loans. This was for a full time college program. It may be different for vocational schools though.

Education should be free.

Maybe it is valued more if you have to spend an arm and leg on it.

I can admit, I have been failed by the American public education system. Such potential... diminished... :o(
