I've been out of work for three months and I'm still store and stiff every single day because of that job.

Sure, you can make decent money doing those things, but you won't be able to do it for more than 10 or 15 years without winding up wore out and broke down.

Guess who's 35 years old and back in college? Yep, that's right!
And no, I don't drive the Porsche to school

What is your major? Congrats on going back and wish you the best of luck!
