[QUOTE="M Jager, post: 103048, member: 5753"] Mike, Sorry to hear about your brother in law and good advice on living every day for its potential. On college, I mainly dislike it for alot of general reasons. First, 99 percent of what you do in terms of coursework doesn't apply to anything you will do in the real world. To say its a waste of time is an understatement. Second, if the USA was ran like a university, we would have a revolution. Yes, it is that messed up. Third, college students as a group are immature, self centered, and don't take life seriously. 4 years of that crap is enough for me. My idea of living life isn't getting stupid drunk 3 or more times a week. Sorry, too many negative experiences to count and I have a negative opinion of college and I can't wait to get out. However, I do feel I have done a pretty decent job of getting the most from my four year sentence. I will graduate in 4 years (May) with a B.S. in Animal Ecology (Wildlife) and a minor Criminal Justice and a G.P.A. of 3.4-something. I represented the U.S.A. in the 2003 College World Shooting Championships held in the Czech Republic (shot trap) I spent a summer trapping wolves for the USGS outside Ely, MN I spent a summer living in the Bob Marshal Wilderness (Montana) studing grizzly bears for the USFS I spent a summer working as a seasonal L.E.O. for the IA DNR I am a current member of the I.S.U. Rodeo Team (I ride bulls) I am currently in the hiring process with the US Border Patrol and hopefully will be working for USFWS within 5 years. I guess I really don't fit the norm, I prefer the real world to college life. I have chosen a career field where I want to go to work everyday. Call me weird, I'm just not a college person. [/QUOTE]
