Amazing talent! Listening to “Just Because” and “Stagger Lee” in his memory today....
I am interested, can you explain a little more though?...
This was my generations version of the Sunday comics. Classic! ...
Thanks for the replies. Just want some perspective. Hey dirtsandwich no troll here. This thing is not going away and will turn into a cold, buddy. Better prepare yourself. If I don’t catch it this year I’ll catch it next or three years from now or five years from now. And like I said, I hope/expect ...
I appreciate the responses :cheers: I suspect fear is the only truly dangerous part about this virus for the vast majority. It is good to hear from some of the people that went through it though. ...
Hey everyone, I want to start out by saying I’m only making another COVID thread out of necessity. I’ve been quarantined outside of the country with a wife and little one but we’ve made the decision to break it and move on with our lives. We just want to be prepared for the realistic chance that we ...
Tigeralum: Now this is the most important perspective I could have gotten from here. Thank you for sharing!...
I’m referring more to the time that I could potentially have to invest in small-time community aid. No saving the world for me. Helping one family, helping a few families in a small community is what I’m talking about there, and it is just one small factor that I am considering as a plus to having t...
This is really good to hear. If you don’t mind me asking, what is your degree in? ...
Lostinbr, thanks for replying! 1. I’m a contractor with 5 years experience at the moment. No management experience. 2. I haven’t taken calculus yet but I have already started brushing up on my foundations through Khan Academy. I’ll be on to calculus soon. So far, so good but obviously not the ...
Rotrain, thanks for asking the hard questions. They need to be asked: my end goal is to reach my potential in education and skill while providing a prestigious livelihood (not of material things, but of good, studious habits) for my boy. I want to be able to be an influential thinker for the compani...
Thadcastle I accidentally downvoted while trying to upvote. Tigercowboy, Good luck to you as well!...
It’s definitely not just about money, as I have other paths to achieve more money, faster. My other big factors include: Knowledge, way of life, and the influence that I may be able to have on my kid, community, and an international community (I don’t know if I’m maybe deceiving myself with this, bu...
Oh man, that’s inspiring! Thanks for sharing that. I KNOW that I have the drive and the resources to pull it off. I am just making sure that this decision will be to the benefit of my wife and my boy. My wife is not from the USA by the way, so part of my decision is to use the skills I learn to appl...
Thanks Mahootney, and yes there are some details that I’d rather keep to myself that are influencing my decision (which is still leaning towards going for it). What I needed from this thread was some truth from the guys that know the material better than I do, and that’s what I got. Thanks guys...
I needed this response. I need to truly evaluate the sacrifice required. Thank you for replying with your experiences :cheers:...
Haha 30 too late, huh? ...
Really helpful replies by Power-Dome and Mahootney. Thanks guys :cheers: ETA: Thanks Catahoula!...

Don’t misinterpret the number of hours though, 3 classes for 9 hours a semester. I’m just wondering if it would be worth the headache in my 30’s for the payoff (benefits, salary, etc) when my boy is about 10. Give me Your honest opinions....
