Thats more of what I was getting at. Its like they are above that. I suppose having been in combat makes you kind of resentful of responses like that. I can certainly understand patents not wanting their kids to join...but to think they are too good pisses me off. I am a father of 3 and if my kids wanted to join I would support them...i would still be concerned.

You are right..you do not have to graduate. You can still have a GED and 15 credits. More often than not, from my experience if you get your GED, you likely wont have the dedication to get the 15 credits.....no disrespect to anyone who has a GED here haha...I just havent met anyone who has dome this in the 2+ years I have been recruiting.Magnus, I am your father. You need to ask your mother about a man named Calvin Klein.

I have a GED and a Masters in Mechanical/Automotive engineering and could finish my Doctorates without too much effort. GEDs are not always a bad thing. Some people use them as a way to start college a few years earlier then the norm. By the way, I couldn't stand the jobs that my degree would get me.

Typically I would say they would work jobs that most other people wouldn't want to work. Heavy intensive manual labor jobs, entry level fast food, yard crews, roofing companies, construction, moving companies, clean up crews, janatorial services etc.

I had two felonys back years & years ago in Alabama for Joy riding cars! Did my 2 years & left the state & went to Chicago & spent 7 years there from 19 to 26 & got some great jobs. Even contracted for Fannie Mae doing Tech Support and worked for Mercantile Exchange along with a job I had at Ameritech doing Call support for IBM with these felonys on my record. Of course back in the late 90s backgroud checks only covered that state! Now 15years later. Everything pops up from IL & AL
Then 911 came. Roy who posts here as Omega Doom got me a great job working at Lowes. I got the job & had a start date. They where just waiting on my background to come back & low & behold my felony came up from when I 17 & lost the job. Im still paying for my mistakes as a kid at 36 years old. Almost 20 years later.
Now I work for myself doing Landscape Work & hauling old junk cars to scrap yard & alot of side work. I
I will say it was a blessing in disguise the felonys following me, Because to be honest. I dont care to work for companys anymore anyways. They treat employees like shit & work the dog shit outta you & then micro managae you.
My suggestion if your a convicted felon! Go in to business for yourself!!!!GOD BLESS TEXAS

Seb's high class.
He'll mow your grass.
He'll kick your ass.
And while his kidney stones pass,
He'll piss in a glass!

Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?
You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.
