I dropped out of High School when I was 17, basically failed every class I ever took (even German, and I am german and can speak it fluently), reason being, I was way too lazy and didn't give a you know what.
Ended up getting my GED and enrolled in a Tech College to go for an Associate in Computer Technology, and well, now I am here pressure washing and wouldn't trade it for nothing.

Wow...I just dug up this thread and thought it interesting how much smarter some of you guys are than you get credit for.
I myself have some college...I had to drop out when my mom kicked me out of the house. I was working full time and going to school full time so I was never at home. She thought it would help me "grow up."
I have an Associate degree as well as a Bachelor degree in Business Administration!
Took me 6 yrs to complete this 4 yr degree while working 3 different jobs at once and going to school at night. One of the jobs was full time.
I was working for the City as I am now......7 days on 7 off 12hrs a day. On my week off worked for a small company doing assembly work at retail stores like Wal-Mart and Lowe's. I have built alot of grills and bicycles....lol
My 3rd job in all of this was checking Weaval traps around cotton fields on a 4 wheeler..........this was more like play for me back then!!!
Paid every dime of my college out of my pocket with no grants and no help from anyone!!!!! And then spent 8 yrs selling cars and now I am pressure washing.......
I graduated High school with 9 gym credits and 6 shop credits. If i went to a normal school I'd probably still be there. Failed my grade 11 chemistry exam with a wopping 19%, ( he passed me any way knowing I wasn't going on to college). If only my teacher could see me now.
You don't have to be that smart, just hire people smarter than you and enpower them.
Education is a broad field with diverse pathways and qualifications, which makes discussions like the one on ProPowerWash particularly interesting. Various professionals share their educational backgrounds and how these have shaped their careers, highlighting the importance of tailored educational resources. For those specifically in the nursing field looking to enhance their knowledge or academic standing, finding reliable help for writing nursing papers can be invaluable. The website online nursing papers has been a personal game-changer for me, offering tailored support that aligns with academic standards in nursing education. It's a practical option for anyone in similar circumstances, aiming to bridge gaps in their professional learning.
