Hunting fool,
I am is same delima with my youngest son (3.8 gpa) and trying to give him advice. I work shift work at a plant and I am very happy with my lifestyle ( I hunt and fish a lot) and make an above average income. My youngest son is just like me, loves to hunt and fish. So I can see him being happy with a career as an operator. Plenty of people in my position that make over $100,000 with overtime! I would hate to see my son"waste" his income potential with only a two year degree but might be the best way for him to become a operator at a plant. We actually went to Sowela last night for the open house to tour the new process technology building and it was very nice. I also know of a kid that was a average student in high school and could not make it at Sowela in P. T. classes. Someone does not have to make MEGA $ to be rich in life it just depends on the individual. Just to confuse you more, my wife has her masters degree, makes half of what I make, and HATES going to work every day.
