Education

So the other day I applied to Grant McEwan.  Entering my mastercard information so that they could charge me money to look at my application for something I didn't want to be applying for was brutal.  I was mad all day that I had to apply to stupid school that I didn't want to go to in stupid Edmonton where I didn't want to live and take a stupid program so that I could get a stupid job I didn't want to work at.  So I decided to ask God to make me excited about school.  I didn't even want to ask, because I didn't want to want to go to school.  I wanted him to present me with a wonderful alternative, but I knew school was something I needed to do.  Nothing against people that choose not to go to school, but God has been showing me pretty seriously the value of education.  First of all this renovation.  Don't get me wrong, I am super thankful to have the work.  But sanding all day and ripping up carpet made me realize that I could NOT be an unskilled worker for the next 30 years.  Then today, a guy, about 40, came in to Second Cup and asked if we were hiring.  I realized that that's what not going to school gets you (about 90% of the time).  I realized that I am in a super huge minority in the world be BE ABLE to get an education and I don't even want it.  I want to bum around at my 10 dollars-an-hour job.   There are people that would kill to have this opportunity.  There are people that would kill to only have to pay like 6 grand for school a year.  There are 40 year olds, with kids, who look back and with they got their education, and here I am-- at that turning point in my life and I don't even want to do the smart thing.  So I'm still not excited.  I would still rather take about 5 years off and travel around and then just meet somebody and be thier wife and have a bunch of kids and make supper for the rest of my life.  But, I feel like this is what I need to do.  So the application is in, and we'll see what happens from here.
