If the career path started by going to trade school (or whatever) leads to where you can live and die, and you love it, go for it! Enjoying what you do is the key to success. (Sufficient income and earned respect are also keys.) The only trouble is that to many high-school kids, a regular paycheck even at minimum wage might look too good. They don't have a realistic grasp on the expenses of life. That's where you, dear parents, come in! -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
