right. money's relative. but that's off topic. my uncle's a card carrying journeyman. one day i'll harken his advice and learn me a trade. i'm not a goal oriented person, therefore a trade makes sense. but i'd be more in it for the experiences it offers. you know, like steinbeck. he knew some trades, didn't he?

Tradesmen can't be goal oriented?

perhaps they can? i dunno. when i think of a tradesman i think of perfecting a craft over years of labor

Is that not a goal in and of itself? Is providing a good living for your family not a goal?

I don't think you understand a damned thing about these kind of folks other than the stereotype you see on television.

i don't have a television. anyway, i'm looking at going back to school. is it hard to remember how to math?
