    Well, good point. Anyways, the days of @appesh1 responding to my long posts about higher ed and self-improvement might be over, but I can't say for sure. appesh1 will have to decide. @Giraffinator, I have a question for you. What do you think of school and higher learning in general?

    I do homeschool, so I'm not a 100% sure as to when people get out in my district, but I bet the high school students in my area are already out for the summer. OT: @appesh1, sorry for mentioning 2,000 times. I feel like a crazy person for doing that. However, Win+Alt+PrintScreen isn't working on Psych2Go videos anymore. That sucks.

    At my school, the day ends at 4:00pm compared to the usual 2:50pm or 3:00pm dismissal.

    my school is the only one that does this in the entire city

    I haven't really thought about it that much, but I do have some things to state about it:

    I do think that school at all levels up to high school is greatly important for development and should be required to attend. However, the necessity of higher learning would vary depending on your interests and future in mind, ergo I do not believe college should be mandatory. It will block off certain job opportunities if one were to not attend, but even then there are viable jobs out there that only require a high school diploma; one can still make a living, it's not like college is required for one to be self-sufficient and well-living. I am personally planning on going to college in the future, but that's because of my interests in computers and computer-related subjects and I wish to expand farther than just general troubleshooting.

    There are lots of jobs like that (some of them do require years of previous experience of course). Some of the higher-paying ones include subway/streetcar operators, power-line installers/inspectors, power plant operators, farmers, etc.

    Good point, some of these jobs might prefer people with degrees, but I don't think you need a degree. I wanted to be a power-line installer/inspector when I was a kid, but if my passion for entertaining people doesn't go well. I might do power line work, we'll see. What do you think of someone making a living of entertainment/YouTube? @appesh1, if you think I'm pranking you. I'm sorry and I'm not trying to harass you. It's just that I'm really not sure how to re-enable the win key.

    Same here, I didn't even make much of it since I didn't get any work for that whole week and got the rest of it done Monday of the previous week.

    Does anybody else miss SuperchargedAndSavage!, Honestly, I do and I think he was a great user. @ZentornoDrifter has been inactive for a while too. What the heck has going on with the Canadians lately?
    In general, I like rain as long as there isn't thunder or lighting.

    Well lots of people don't have nearly as much freetime to be super active here or have stuff to do that limits their time to be active often.

    Or they could very well just be taking leisure breaks.
