> It sounds to me like you have everything figured out there guy. One thing is certain though, and that is I am not going to sit here and argue on the internet with a bunch of strangers about how college is beneficial in the long run. If you have to even doubt that for a second then, well, I don’t know what to really tell you.

I am just giving my 2 cents based on what I SEE, every day, all day. I did the college thing and got a degree in computer science. I got a job instantly, and worked in my field (still, its my day job) for the last 8 years or so, non stop. But in that time my company laid me off because of loss of contract twice, and NONE of the places I worked at were solid enough, made me like my job enough, and made me feel comfortable enough to think “Yeah i could retire from here.”

Not to mention I “know it all” becasue I have a very diverse network of contacts; lawyers, cops, business owners, business managers, aunt is a head hunter for high end employment, family in the school system, on and on. I have always been a sponge for knowledge so I tend to know alot, if you feel that way, becasue I pay attention to everything around me very well.

Come by and meet me/us, dont be a stranger and your outlook for Shift might change a bit.
