I agree with the first part but not the second. I have just a HS diploma and I had plenty of college grads, even master's degrees, under me when I was in corporate. I just think that I knew how to huck and chuck better than they did. And being the boss ain't all it's cracked up to be, when you have several bosses yourself. That's why I went out for myself. Now my boss is the customer, and that's about as good as you're gonna do.
My daughter wants to be a taxidermist. She’s been thinking about this for a long time and that is her dream. She wants to build her own business and she has the guts, talent and brains to do it. She’s preparing a five year plan and wants to work for an hourly wage to support herself until the business takes off. Eventually she wants to take on apprentices.
But she’s getting a lot of pressure from “the family” to get at least a BA in “something”. I told her that a Associates in business wouldn’t hurt, but I’m not going to push her in this department. I honestly don’t think she’s on the wrong path.
