School Starts Tomorrow

Re: School Starts Tomorrow

It really is depressing. I start at the high school for the first time.


I've got a question. Is work worse than school?

High school has it's good moments. But I wouldn't want to try growing up today vs. when I went to H.S. in the 80s.

Tech. college for me was a blast because it was focused on what I wanted to do for a career. (it did help that drinking age was 18 back then, too )

Work can be a drag due to politics, etc. - if you let it. If you work in a career you don't want to be in or don't love doing, then it truly becomes drudgery. Find something you can earn a living that you LOVE doing, then it's much more enjoyable to go to work.

ha u think u start early, ive been in school for 3 fucking weeks

School starts early down there in Florida doesn't it. Well, it still is depressing.

Justanotherpackfan,

Work hard in school so you will have the opportunity for a rewarding and exciting job.

During one of my summers home from college, I and several other college students worked at Wright Products in Rice Lake. This is a factory that produces the pneumatic tubes that keep screen doors from slamming shut.

Inside the 16" tubes is a 30" coil spring that has been compressed. Before that coil is inserted in the tube, it needs a thin layer of grease applied to it.

My job was to apply the coat of grease to each coil as it came down the assembly line. I did that 6,000 times every day for the whole summer!

As my college friends and I looked around the factory, we realized most of the employees were full-time and did this kind of work year-round. We all came to the realization we needed to apply ourselves in school so that we did not end up doing a life-time job like this!

Amen brother OPF. The workplace is a competition. And you can compete with your head, or you can compete with your back. School is where you exersise that choice.
