It took me 8 years to get out of college. At the age of 14, I knew I wanted to be a carpenter. So I go and chased after it and started working for myself at the young age of 21 doing what ever I can get my hands on. During those early years while in college, I hired my friends to help with projects. Then business grew, near the end of my college career, I was making a lot more then my professors. Finally I struggle to finish. I felt a big load off my chest. What do I do? I go back and start my masters program after taking one semester off. I didn't know how to relax. During undergrad years, I had taking lots of time off to play and travel so I got that off my chest. After one year in the masters program, I still remember that monment very very clearly, I asked myself sitting on a client's roof over looking the Hollywood fwy, wondering what the hell am I doing in school. The classes suck and I hated them. So I quit and never went back. It would not have benefited me in any way what so ever. I would never tell any about it even if I had it. Now if I had the time, I go back and take all the classes I really wanted to take and not have to worry about the freaking grade and getting crap for showing late due a simple thing like work. Also, to tell some professor to @#$%$ off and that I am paying their mortage so just get on with the lecture because its a heck of a lot more interesting then his advice. I really like history.
