do-it-yourself University? I can only dream........... Jack London did this, a little over a century ago - (and he didn't do too bad, did he?) Why I think high school grads need to step off the "grid?" #1 - an over-educated workforce doesn't blend well with an ever -shrinking professional job market, does it? (I'm talking about the jobs with pay levels that can actually adequately adress student debt levels in the multiple tens of thousands.) #2 - just 4 young adult years (17-21) dedicated to living debt-free [that's right: no credit cards, car loans, student loans, etc.] would teach anyone perhaps the most valuable lesson of their life - all learned by the tender age of 21...imagine.] #3 - spend those 4 years "learning"...how to work, how to buy things with saved money, how to compile a free booklist of reading material that will "prep" most any further educational program.
I'm sure there are not a few college grads, and failed grads out there-who might agree now, that the only thing in life one should ever purchase on credit - is a mortgage.
Good day! I just want to give you a huge thumbs up for the excellent information you have right here on this post. I’ll be returning to your web site for more soon. 토토사이트
Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this site. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's very difficult to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and visual appeal. I must say you have done a awesome job with this. Additionally, the blog loads super fast for me on Chrome. Outstanding Blog! 토토사이트
