I betcha I have more certifications and other relevant training THINGIES hanging on my wall.
I bet my career path has been more interesting, engaging, entertaining and rewarding both intriniscally and extrinsically then most.
better yet i could have someone like yourself gainfully employed at $25-$30 an hour virtually anywhere in america with one simple phone call. bam just like that and thats the way it is. you know anyone else with that ability? you gotta have balls - you gotta be able to look the boss in the eye and lie like the dog that you are
yes sir - i can do it! if you fail, you go somewhere else hopefully more the wiser.
and thats how we get "in". OTJ baby - higher education at its finest - sink or swim - do or die!! there are in's and out's to this world similar to the simpsons thought of dialing 912 if you want an ambulance quickly;-)
Once ya get in you make a solid name for yourself and file away the contacts - next thing ya know the phone is ringing off the hook.
pretty much i find the situations people tend to disbelieve are the reality. I would show my old friends pay stubs and they would hold them up to the light trying to determine if they are fake or not
boy thats a good feeling even if it is very fleeting.
anyways yeah it aint all about money. but now that you know what you know - sure would be nice to have a few k here and there to toss into sustainability huh?
people are lazy - they are scared - they want the same ole same day in day out not to be challenged etc etc. Most people cant imagine leaving their family - hometown - local cheers bar and all the other trappings of their seemingly stable lives yet they will toil away getting virtually nowhere as long as they are comfortable. oh well i feel sorry for them but they get what they deserve.
if you ask me - for most - college is the delaying of reality. thats pretty much what it was for me. how many pencil pushing jobs you think will survive post peak? fuck how many trucking jobs ya think will survive? my job wont even survive yet just like many things they consider it "critical" thus it might get attention when other things do not.
The practical skills advice is the one I would take to heart and otherwise I would try to make as much as possible to toss into sustainability. what else really matters now? maybe thats why i own and have read every page of sustainability permaculture organic everything!!! Robert Rodale is a god!!
oooh my new edition of organic gardening just arrived - imagine a stupid stoner with no life getting excited about something like that. yeah smoke another one NEOPO!!! good idea !;-)
