I had plans for college until I became a daddy at 19. Became an apprentice carpenter instead. Went through four years of apprenticeship school in two years and the rest of my life, enjoyed my occupation of carpentry and contracting. I doubt if a college degree would have enhanced my life much more than working with my hands and enjoying building dream houses for people. I don’t do much of that any more in my elder years but still working with my hands creating Native Art and sculpturing stone,wood and antlers.
