A message to all the kids thinking about college: you have to work for a living. Let me say that again: YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR A LIVING! And “work” means you have to bust your hump, day in and day out, with no let-up. Think about what you want to do for a living, and then choose your major. Don’t choose a major that was your favorite subject in high school. In fact, you might not need to go to college at all. Choose your education based on what work you want to do for a living. Then go after it with all you’ve got.
That’s what we need to get young people to do; think about and decide what they want to do, what work they want to do. And THEN choose what education they’ll need to get that work. Hint: you don’t need college to succeed.
It just sent me to a Bing list, topped by Wikipedia.
