your boy lyin... he been at the underpass personally assisting a needle to his vein
Nah. This boy was born in Uptown chicago, right in the midst of fukkery. He did what it took to get bread, and eventually wanted to get out Chicago and go skate in Cali.

Long story short he caught breaks (he is the friendliest dude even though he looks like he can yoke everybody up) and ended up the P.A. of someone who owns a
distribution company. The past couple years have been him traveling to do work, and getting paid WELL to do it...at 21. This mothafukka got multiple cars now:francis:

Told me the realist place in the country is Denver:russ:and that Cali is soft as baby ass. He been hustling, been done with that rah-rah shyt, now he just coolin' and im tempted to see if he can put me on, but I don't feel like begging up on a dude 7 years my junior.

I don't know anything about the OP's background or about anyone's anecdotes but the data is very clear here:

BLS data from 2009 however the trends are the same today. Trade or degree, you need to get an education or face very long odds for you and your family living a comfortable life.

Someone claimed they know about my background? Thanks for dropping the stats.

Doesn't matter if its an Associates Degree or a Masters Degree, if you have one your life will be better than just having a High School diploma. If you don't have any type of degree what's stopping you from going back to school to get one?
When you have certs, you realize degrees are for doctors, lawyers, engineers and pharmacists.

Most CEO's and Execs would disagree with that assertion.
There are roughly 1800 CEOS in america so again, certs, unless you plan on rolling the dice at a company for 10 plus years and hope a board of cacs likes you. Out of the biggest 500 companies 5 CEO's are black........ so ummm, yea. Good luck getting in those cacs good graces.
Persue your dreams :skip:

There's more than 1800 CEO's in America. Much more than that. You're thinking about CEO's of publicly traded companies. There are far more private sector CEO's. And I said execs as well which would be Presidents, COO's, CFO's, Vice Presidents, Chairmen etc.

I have a brother who got into Harvard (didn't go, Ivy's dont give financial aid). Ended up going to Vandy. Smartest member of the family, he is truly .

:dwillhuh: :what: :dwillhuh:

Who told you this lie?! Ivy League schools, Harvard especially, offer the BEST financial aid packages in the business! If your household income is <$65k your education is essentially free.

Honestly it wouldn't matter if someone just got an Associates Degree and became a Human Resource Manager, out here that shyt pays well and you don't go home feeling tired as fukk like you do from blue collar jobs. I did warehouse work, that shyt should inspire anybody to get some type of education because lifting heavy ass items for 8 hours a day while never sitting down ain't cool.
