Q: Dad, if an opportunity arises at the job I have, should I quit school at take it?
A: Only if the salary has so many zeroes on the end of it that they can’t fit them all on one line of your paycheck. Seriously, I’m not a person who believes everyone has to go to college – it’s not for everyone – but it is very hard to go back and finish should this job fall apart. I’d finish school and see what happens.
