Personal Experience?

[Mike n NC]

OR...Got a hobby or past time you really enjoy? Figure out a way to make money at it. My son, a high school dropout, is now approaching my level of income doing what he loves. He tours with various bands as their insturment tech, even gets to play once in a while. Headed out for a far east tour swing in a couple of weeks.

Now let me further qualify my comment about the libart degree. It does, and very well I might add, teach you how to learn and puts a polish on the HS education. However, I don't consider it a be all to end all but rather a starting point to higher education. A chance to learn what you want to learn if you will. With the bulk of "today's" HS seniors now having an 8th grade education, that's in the US I don't know about Canada, they have a definite place in the system.
