What part do you not understand?

You keep pushing that, start a thread and post all the same ones that was on that great thread over on Moparts....I am sure guys will add on

I wasn't really pushing it just making a funny .. but if this place want's one Alley Oop should start it and outline the rules. I'll participate to get it started but I don't frequent Moparts. They just got too much crazy **** in their sigs and posts going on over there and it give me a headache to look at it too long and I'm afraid I'll get a seizure LOL. I like this family of forums much better. FABO get's on my nerves looking at it for too long too but FCBO and FBBO is cool

My son just turned 18 & I'm grooming him to be a salesman. I wouldn't even consider teaching him how to swing a hammer. You might as well accept it cuz it's not gonna change.

That is so wrong. Starting out swinging a hammer teaches him the work ethic instead of becoming another gimme, gimme, gimme, guy....

When you're 65, you're going to say "Where did I go wrong?".
Right there.
You might as well accept it cuz it's not gonna change.

 

[Stormer]

Well, Stan, your consistency is amazing. Once again, you are wrong.

 

[commando1]

No, Ross. You are wrong.
Nothing wrong with wanting him to go to college.
Nothing wrong in him wanting to go to college.
It's the "I'm grooming him to be a salesman. I wouldn't even consider teaching him how to swing a hammer" mindset you have that disturbs me.
It's all about what you want. Let the kid breath for crissakes.

I got my work ethic after seeing some people try to make careers out of flipping burgers at McDonalds.

 

[commando1]

There you go!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU decided!

 

[70NPORT]

There you go!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU decided!

Flipping burgers for minimum wage?...lol, wasn't that hard of a decision. Worked BUNCHES of dirty, smelly, long hour, no pay, rotten boss, no advancement, shitty *** jobs while keeping my butt in school. Hard work does pay off in the end.

I guess having less than 1% of the info doesn't keep you from forming a strong opinion about what's best for my son.

 

[commando1]

You made a broad statement.
I gave a broad response.
This is a forum. Not a one-on-one counseling session where both people are the doctor.
I don't know your son. He may have a physical impairment where his brain is best put to use.
He may have a 50" chest and be a strong as a bulldozer but has trouble adding 2 + 2. I don't know Ross.
And you don't know 1% of my story.

Our mileages may vary.

I did both in reference to roofing and college. I worked 2 summer roofing when I was in college. I discovered one thing, stay in college because I didn't want to physically roof for a living, you don't see any old roofers only old roofing company owners. On the other hand, I do not regret the physical aspect of swinging the hammer just make you a more rounded man. Ironically I never really ended up using my business finance degree and ended up being a paint business owner doing the physical labor too. So what the hell do I know.

Life is funny that way. I was sure I was gonna be an astronaut some day, but here I am posting stuff at FCBO instead, lol.
