Okay, so I went to lunch with my grandpa, and he got on my case again about school. he says that since I've been in it for six years now and don't have a degree I just need to quit and get a steady job. He refuses to hear me when I tell him that to get anywhere in the world these days, I'm going to need a degree. Yeah, I can write, but I'm not Jenny. I can't become a millionaire author right away, it takes years of stories that barely sell. But he tells me that there are plenty of people without degrees that have good jobs. I replied that the great majority of these people, if they've entered the workforce recently without any degree or training, are most likely barely making ends meet. And he also says that if i were to pay for training, such as, say...a pharmacy tech or whatever, I shouldn't pay for it because "you shouldn't have to pay to get a job. they should pay you." It just doesn't make any sense to say that in today's world, and he refuses to even consider this.
