the trick is that you don't have to go to some bullshit expensive 4 year, in fact you can get a lot more out of a good local community college or trade school. for example, at a local community college you can get a certificate program for clerical work which can give you an edge over the competition. In business today, the clincher is college PLUS years of experience. You can have college, but without experience yr fucked, and you can have experience, but without college yr fucked, and so get both. the catch is college you have to apply yourself for and work at, where as job experience tends to flow naturally over time without so much constant effort.
I say seriously look into going to some kind of school, if not 4year, at least for a trade. it will be the ABSOLUTE best thing you can do for yourself.
Even if you stay at walmart you will get better pay and advancement after you finish school.

There's no one way to do anything. College doesn't interest me in the least. I am planning on eventually getting some secretary work, perhaps even becoming a stenographer, since I type 149 words per minute. That's a $100,000 a year job you don't need to get a degree for! I'm one of the fastest typists in the WORLD! (172 was the world record last I looked)
My job will always be there, because Wal-Mart isn't out of business. I can take off whenever I want. Every 3 months, I've been getting a $350 bonus check, something called "profit sharing".
I'm doing good...
And yeah, symbol man, I definitely am there for my family, well.. my family is just me and my mom. I'm a good son/grandson, and a great friend. I always have been really good to people. I'm just highly opionated and pretty informed and knowledgable of lots of shit, so people on the internet think I'm a dick.
