I wasn't attacking you, by the way. I honestly love hearing from experts in their field, whether they are an engineer, a prison warden, a historian, or a fry cook. I made myself an "internet expert" on a few topics, but I love hearing from people who have BTDT. I like people taking pride in what they do, and sharing their experience with others. You are a invaluable member here, and I appreciate your input on education and life choices, as does everyone else...along with answers to my stupid questions (to what I could google). I am a nice guy, despite my "smartmouth" problem and rough exterior (between being a ranch hand, machinist, fabricator, CO and rec yard officer *this one really made me into a sour hard-ass* through the years, my exterior was honed into quite the spikey, vulgar, hard shell that can only be broken by children, animals, stories of valor and tragedy, and family).
FWIW, I always had an interest in CJ, and while I was a rec yard officer/correction officer at a prison, I was trying to find a way to do a CJ degree to help me as I tried to get into the Special Investigative Services department of the prison....and then to the TX DPS academy after a few years. That was what made me start looking at online college in the first place. Before I got back into my original career field, and finally got another interview and job offer with my current company.
Anyways, I am notorious for being a dick in electronic communications (according to my spouse and friends..... and you), but if I ran across you broke down on the side of the road, dollars to doughnuts I will be there with my toolbox opened to help.
I will try to soften up.
We are all on the same side here, trying to better our lives....so let's get along and help each other out.
Learn a trade. Gain technical skills. Make money, then use this money to get a degree...if you have the desire.
