Guys, here's a thought. Get a degree and some experience at the same time.

Chef school is a vocational school degree, same with woodworker, although that degree involves other things.Originally Posted by rubah
What kind of degree do you get if you want to be a chef? Or a woodsworker? Your reply isn't what she needs-- you've spent so long participating in and worshipping academia, I doubt you remember what the outside world is like anymore
I'm quite aware of the outside world. And I'm quite aware of the limitations of those without degrees, as I live in a country where education is near to free, and everyone has a chance to get a degree in something, and nearly everyone does. I also know of those who drop out and stay with high school knowledge. Those that don't end up in the army or the low end of retails, end up in the.. let's say less lawful of instances.
Instead of sprouting fairytales about people doing what they love to do, I'm a realist. Look at what you want to do, look at what is available/possible for you, and compromise. That's what being a grown-up is.
True that, without a degree you'll get nowhere in this country. Even within the army you'd be forced to quit after a number of years if you don't get yourself some additional degrees or certifications.Chef school is a vocational school degree, same with woodworker, although that degree involves other things.What kind of degree do you get if you want to be a chef?

This twenty-year-old boy was distinguished from childhood by strange qualities, a dreamer and an eccentric. A girl fell in love with him, and he went and sold her to a brothel...
Living with your parents is not the real world, Bert.I didn't go to college and have been dealing with the real world for the last 7 yearsI graduated my bachelors and have had to deal with the real world for a year. It's scary.
