if your happy howard why then do you keep rehashing these topics and asking if you need a life coach?
id like to see you use this forum for positive things. you have a lot of great stories and could share them here. People could take some good lessons from the things you have done in life and you could keep contributing and a positive about your posting here.
you don't have to talk about competing. you don't have a lot of experience with that so we would rather hear about your other experiences with school or just life.
you don't have to just troll the forum anymore howard. you can do positive things in your posts.
give us some stores. i know you have some good ones so lets hear some.
Thanks and that's a fair point.
Most of my posts are recycled goofs anyway and that gets boring, even for me.
Ok, I'll start with school and education leading to viable careers.
For starters, going to big wig Ivy League school or elite Private College is a big waste of $$$ for most people.
My older sis and I are a good example of how to do it on the cheap LOL.
My sis went to a public HS and then got a tuition scholarship that covered most of her in state tuition at UNH.
She worked a med tech in a blood bank until she got her masters degree.
Then she went to med school and did various rotations at some top research hospitals.
Before she died, she was head of Internal Medicine at a major med school.
I went to the same public high school and state univ. system until grad school.
I went to grad school at a good school (physics) on a grad assistantship.
I was never going to win the Nobel Prize, so I enjoyed a good career teaching.
My career ended teaching at the small college level.
They real key to success is:
1. Picking a field that leads directly to a job.
For example, their are a lot fewer applicants for jobs teaching physics then history or PE.
You're likely to get a job faster in accounting as a CPA then a degree in Liberal Arts.
2. Get good grades in the schools you attend. Far better to have a 3.7 at Podunk U. then a 1.8 at Mega State.
Sounds obvious , but grades , exam scores and major are what really matters in the end.
3. The school and education are just means to start a career.
Look at any NFL roster and you will see a variety of colleges represented.
The school allows you get on a team and play in the game.
How well you do, is up your talent and ambition.
