I might get a job at GoodYear, but I'm not sure.

I'm one of those that believes that college isn't for everybody.

I never went to college - never regretted it - and always had a good paying job and making more than some of my college educated friends were. In the customer service department of the company I worked for, there were several college graduates working there. Some decided that what they went to college for, they didn't want to do after graduation. Others couldn't find a decent paying job in their field, and others couldn't even find a lousy paying job in their field.

Neither of my brothers ever went to college, and both ended up as engineers, making more money than I would ever have imagined.

There's plenty out there for those who choose not to further their education with 4 more years. To me, it just sounds like Genny doesn't want to go to school and is content with her present job if she gets more hours, and there's no motivation to move ahead since she doesn't know what she wants to do with her life.


ETA: There are also many companies that offer a college reimbursement program. You can work and be taking a couple of courses at a time. Sure - it's going to take longer to get a degree, but in a program like that, you can have the best of both worlds.
