They say school is important

I kinda had the same feeling as you back when I was in HS, but I hadn't really planned on college. I was just gonna keep riding running horses and shoeing. I was offered a scholarship to rodeo out in Big Spring, so I loaded up and went. Made 1 semester out there, and came back to SETX, hated school. I went straight to work in the plants as a wrench turner. Hated it worse! Got another scholarship to rodeo for a school over her in LA, and never looked back. I let it pay for my school. Finally graduated, and now I have a BS in Wildlife. Went to work in that field and love it. Like the guys said before, lay out a plan and try and follow it. There are jobs out there you will soon hate, but make alot of money, and there are jobs out there you will love, and make decent money. Been at the same job going on 15 years, and have grown to make the most out of the money.
