-- Posted by hilldog27 at 10:45 am on July 10, 2009 i could get a good job still as a mail man and make more than most americans at age 18 -- Posted by bosss at 10:45 am on July 10, 2009 go for it mannn -- Posted by blitzerdog at 10:46 am on July 10, 2009 But would you make more at age 25? -- Posted by glowinthedark at 10:46 am on July 10, 2009 make porn. you'll never run out of business. :D -- Posted by Mods1Blow2Me3Daily at 10:47 am on July 10, 2009 yeah get chased by dogs and made fun of by everyone. -- Posted by Live Just To Die at 10:48 am on July 10, 2009 And they'd make more than you in their lives... I'd rather retire at 65 and get a decent pension than have to work until I die thanks... -- Posted by 1deep at 10:48 am on July 10, 2009 you'll probably be poor with a $9 a hour job..go to college -- Posted by LU2024 at 10:48 am on July 10, 2009 If you don't go to college, you won't have as many opportunities for job positions once the economy gets better. -- Posted by a bittersweet life at 10:50 am on July 10, 2009 Do whatever you want. It's not like you can't go back to school later on. -- Posted by Tavis at 10:51 am on July 10, 2009 I am pretty sure it was on the Discovery channel, where I was reading about how in the future, people will not always need to go to Post-Secondary in order to get a fanstastic paying job. You just need to go to plays like ITT Tech or something like it, get yourself qualified, and then just find a job. It happens more in the trades nowadays, but not as much for being something like a historian. -- Posted by amber1991 at 10:53 am on July 10, 2009 My grandma and uncle were talking about this, you could do job corp and all that if you don't go to college. -- Posted by Just Waiting Here at 11:01 am on July 10, 2009 Yeah... but only around that age.  But the main thing is this... do you really see yourself being a mailman for the rest of your life?  Or otherwise working any job that you can get for the rest of you time? That's ultimately your choice... but if you can see yourself being a mailman for the rest of your life, then maybe that's your calling.
