You will soon regret that.

I'm actually the opposite. I'd rather be working than doing school (probably a little bit of that has to do with the way my bank account changes during those two times of year). I don't particularly care for my job, but school I like less.

I'm working on maybe going back to school again...

I did that from 25 to 29 years old. Was hard at first but it allowed me to completely change careers. The change was most welcome as I really don't think I would've been able to live much longer (at least definitely not happy) with my previous job.

Day 2 of going back to the gym

I don't work out really as much as I'd want (or should) and definitely not as much as you usually do. But you have my support  Wink

I tried but was un-successful. I'm applying to a college in Canada, since I have a friend who lives near campus and has offered a place to live as long as I need. I think being in a less toxic environment will help greatly.

Unfortunately my current career path, though something I enjoy immensely, has a somewhat short career span. I'd like to have some better prospects when I begin aging out of it than I do currently...

Short career spans can be tricky. If you find studies that can give you better options for later in a domain you like it's worth it.

I changed my career when I was 27 transitioning from the military back to civilian life but didn't come back to being a mechanic. I switched to IT so really, two different career changes at once.

As much as I hated school work I hate going to work more.  Mind you I don't mind hard work...just would rather do it on my own terms....got a bit of an issue with authority.

Wait till you get to college. It gets better. Then you won't want to leave.

I've been going since I was 17 but took two weeks off for family stuff and then I caught the flu which took me out for a week and another week for recovery so I've been out of the gym for a month.  But, back to it  Cheesy

Mind you I don't mind hard work...just would rather do it on my own terms....got a bit of an issue with authority.

I would much rather be doing manual labor (or something fun, like acting) than school, and I don't have too big a problem with authority. What I have a problem with is the other people on the job site. "It's course, and rough, and irritating" about sums it up for me. When it is just me (and my dad and brother) working is just grand. Most the other people just wear me out mentally. But that is what you get for working construction.

Wait till you get to college. It gets better. Then you won't want to leave.

I guess you haven't realized yet that I am a Junior in college.

I enjoyed college way too much.  Tongue  But I would not want to go back.  As for work, I am grateful to enjoy what I do and where I work now.  I have not always enjoyed where I worked and that can be miserable even if you enjoy what you do.  The people around you make all the difference.

That is so true. Good coworkers can make even a crappy job you hate at least bearable, just as bad ones can make you despise even a job you love. Staples was a great place to work for the first year and a half I was there, because we were all friends and who doesn't like working with friends? But then coworkers left, were replaced with people that didn't fit, who were quickly pushed out and were replaced with people who were just okay. Some of the long time coworkers changed completely, and became unbearable to work with, even abusive at times, with HR and upper management(who was a large part of the problem) not seeming to care. We had a huge change over in district and regional management, and the new ones were horrid, running things badly and putting insane pressures on store level management, the stress of which naturally rolled down to us. Getting fired was great from a stress and happiness perspective, and most of my coworkers have moved on, even the managers.

The whole college thing got kinda stale for me around year 5. That's what I get for changing majors. Glad im out and got actual life ahead of me

Welp, I can't speak to college since I never went...but I'd take high school over the POS job I drive an hour and a half to every day.....and I'm the manager.

Well that is true. I did enjoy high school. I was home schooled though, so that helped.
