no longer too cool

so i've decided im going back to school this fall. i graduated high school 5 years ago and have minimal college credits to show for it. granted i've gotten to do more cool things in those 5 years than some people do in a lifetime, but still...cool experiences don't pay for a car or provide for a family or buy a house. so...back to school i go. i've decided to pursue my forestry degree. that way i can make a career out of wildland firefighting. you can be a fireman without an education, but with no hope of promotion. so...wish me luck, cyber-friends.

That's awesome news! I was thinking about going back to school too but only for the sole purpose of trying to be smarter. Good luck!!

I can't think of much that's cooler than having the opportunity to go back to school! Like the wise man who built his (spiritual) house upon the firm foundation of the Rock, think of it as building your future's foundation by investing in yourself for your sake and the blessing of your future family. Best wishes for a great time and enjoy it. It goes fast!
