    First of all, if you've been met with success post-high school, than
    high school wasn't for you. I decided to test out of high school as a junior instead of sitting through another year being bored out of my mind... anyway.

    I've done alright the my limited education, but I'm always trying to learn and improve myself. I also took, completed and earned a recording engineering degree, as well as earned several religious degrees. I do not work in any of those fields, I probably should it would probably pay more than minimum wage.

    I've seen more of our youth who enter the workforce needing to be constantly coddled. These children haven't been taught to think for themselves; instead, they expect everything to be handed to them.
    Plus, if you hurt their feelings they end up running to HR because you told them to read a book (as an example).

    All I know is that if I end up ever interviewing one of those special snowflakes for a position, they'll never get it as I don't need their laziness, and attitude.. I'll just say thank you but I don't think you'll fit in with the company culture (of hard workers), I just wouldn't vocalize the last part. Might seem like age discrimination, but it isn't. I'll hire anyone, man, woman, other, young, old, and regardless of skin colour or speech patterns, the just have to WORK. Equal work for equal pay, regardless, but the catch is the equal work part. So, would I hire a woman to consistantly lift 100 pound bags of sugar/flour/whatever, SURE if she can do it.



    ... So easy, a child could do it. Child sold separately.

    Did you get to work on different mixing boards?

    I took some time off from my usual work and drove to a college
    in another town to take a recording studio course. It was a lot
    of fun. But it was just a one-time thing, I had to miss a few
    classes due to regular work commitments. The skills are gone
    after so many decades now. Today, the popular thing are digital
    boards - and those scare me.

    Maybe if your skill in the recording studio and operating a
    mixing board could be desired in live concert or church settings
    - working as an independent.
