I'm a 43 year old man i decided to drop out of college back in the day to ski bum and pursue a small skiing company with me and two of my boys. Then after 3 years of skiing and my parents grew tired of spotting me some cash life hit hard and i realized i needed to work to feed my self clothe myself and put a roof over my head. so i started working full time and i get to ski maybe once a week but i mean im getting old and the vigor of skiing all day just seems less and less enticing as i go, and realizing i'd never go professional got me bummed out. My company made twenty t shirts i still have 15 if you want one. after i passed 30 years old i realized i really wasn't hooking up with any cute girls because after the party scene dies down and you realize the young girls at bars want a young guy with so much possible for his future rather than an aging 30 year old with a shitty job more enticing. And the 30 year olds they are falling for at the bars on the mountains are the guys with legit managing jobs for companies in the area and have money to throw around. So now after working for 13 years since i was 30 i haven't moved up in the job i'm at there just isn't much room to go up and my boss is 25 and a total prick. I still smoke trees and watch porn a lot though so thats chill. my knees pretty much gave out on me and i cant even afford a ski pass let alone the gear, i just really never go anymore. I dont have health insurance either so i'm afraid one bad spill on my skis i wont be able to afford my bills if that ever did happen. So i'm single, working a shitty job, living day by day, depressed, cold, and my siblings all went to college for 4 years and are doing amazing. my little brother actually went to a mountain college so he could ski all he wanted and got a degree after college he worked lifts with me and had a great four years then he got tired of doing that and while i stayed back to feed myself he went and got a job away from the mountain that pays great met a milf of a wife and he still can get up to the mountain about 4 times a week after taking a day off work. he has a 401 k and great health insurance....
so do the four years of really not that hard work pay off in college? yes absolutely.
not to be a negative nancy but thats the realistic view on this. I'm not a 43 year old man but this is the reality of that. not that this is what happens to everyone but i mean still. go to college put in 4 years get a degree THENNN at that point do whatever your little heart desires and start that company or go live off the land and find yourself no matter what you can always fall back on that degree and settle down when the time comes... because it will, and fast. I hate that you have to have a college degree to be succesful in this country but it the truth so live with it put in your time then go live life.
realness.
