Re: Online College?
Zach, my degree is in accounting, i have never worked a day in that field. found out after serving in Viet Nam, i hated accounting. to this day i do not balance my personal check book.
My father was a general contractor, and i would as a gofer as a kid. after getting out of the Navy, i went back to work for my father, who was a horrible teacher, but brillant skilled craftsman. his business had grown, and had hired several supervisors. i was lucky, and got under a great guy, Parker Jones, who taught me the real ropes of being a skill craftsman. i worked under him for years, then he left to take time off to build himself a new home. when he came back, he then worked under my supervision. we had a mutual respect for each other, and i knew i could, and i did, go to him for advice. every afternoon, we would discuss the work for the next day. and when we had problems with a project we would work them out together. he has now gone to the shop in the ski. but all i can do is thank him for what he taught me.
i retired in 1990, at 42 years old. i still get calls for previous clients who want me to do a job for them.
