On the issue of education...
I have a friend and her son just turned 18, and she asked for advice, she is full blooded Indian and lives in the forest away from any big cities. She used to live in my home town with me back when we were teens, and we went to parties together, and drive in movies, and I was friends with her Father, I used to hang out with her and her Dad a lot. Her son grew up in the forest, and he does not know anything about the world.
So, I told her to send him to our old hometown, to Lancaster, and he can get a job at In N Out Burger, and he can attend Antelope Valley College. Lancaster is a good town, and the In N Out Burger pays their managers $120,000 per year, and Antelope Valley College is a great community college where he can get a good education.
She liked my advice. She is a cool person, and I hope I helped. I wish her son the best, 18 years old and going to college, that is such a fun age.
Some people are saying to drop out of school and do construction labor, but that is a bullshit path. There are plenty of ignorant people to do manual labor. If you have a chance to get a good job and to go to college, then I recommend college. And you can meet your future wife in college.
But for the people who love to do construction, then by all means, and we need housing, so we need people to build housing. It is all about your own personal choice. But people need to have the option of going to college.
Salute,
Tony V.
