sorry to hear that. at least you guys still get along well and you never know what the future holds.
I too vote for college. I went back at the age of 29 and there are a lot more "nontraditional" students now than ever. its the best thing I ever did for myself. I love my job, though I'll never get rich I get to work in the outdoors and the wilderness every day. I see dozens of deer, turkeys you name it every day. pick something you love and go for it!
Beware of any old man in a profession where one usually dies young.
