This thread was resurrected from almost four years ago. My father has moved on, and is close to retirement so does not have any interest in this right now, but I'm still glad this advice exists here for any others out there pursuing their dream ideas.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

Don't be. I'm sure I'm not the only one that learned from the new posts.

Some of them are really simple but clever things that seem like they should already exist, like a backpack tackle box with a cooler in it for bait or drinks, or a beeper for the television's remote control. like the page feature on cordless phones for when you lose the remote. Maybe I shouldn't be giving away his ideas!
Thanks for the Hulu link. We do not watch television in my home, so I never knew about this program! I will definitely check it out.
We also don't have a TV in our home, but watch Shark Tank. Consider it his homework assignment
You can watch whole seasons on Hulu for free (that's what we do). Shark Tank really gives you some good insight into common mistakes people make as they launch.
