I'm a little confused. Aren't you only 17 ? Your life is far from being screwed. Hell The Colonel didn't start KFC until he was 65.

A slight nick pick. Anyone can start any business as long as that community approves of it. Try opening a strip bar in your town and see what happens.

Well, I've dropped out of school for one thing, so I don't think I have much of a chance getting a job as say... an astronaut, lol.

And a little bit of information about the "colonel", he was actually a colonel at some point, and at some point in his life, he kidnapped his own daughter.

and where I live, people would probably be happy if another stip club opened. Although, most of the ones in the area have closed, I'm not sure where. But even if you community doesn't approve of a stip club, there are plenty of places in the US you could go if you really wanted to open a strip club.

You can change that Cam. If you want to get the certificates you can always change that, not always easy I grant you but it can be done.

I'm 33 and I'd hope my life has plenty of scope for change and development so at 17 you've still got the whole world ahead of you.

You cant kidnap your own child.

Exactly, his ex-wife had custody I believe, and he took her, therefore kidnapping her. In the U.S. if you take you child (who is in the custody of the other parent) out of the state without the parent's with custody permission, it's considered kidnapping. Trust me, I went through this plenty of time with my parents after they got divorced.

not always easy I grant you but it can be done.

Well, you pretty much nailed it there, lol. I don't want to put the work in to get a high school diploma. I'm getting my GED, and will probably start taking college courses next year, but there's no way I'm going back to high school, especially since I'm close to getting my GED.

Hmmm...all this talk of strip bars......

I have the sudden urge to go support some single mothers out there...one fiver at a time...

Cam, hope all goes well with your studies!

Thanks, after working on taking classes, etc. since January, I'll finally be registering to take the actual GED test this weekend.

I 2nd that. I always support my local single MILF's

I'll prolly be doing that tomorrow nite.

I'm not sure about the Colonel kidnappng his own kid. But, another fun fact about the Colonel is that his secretary became a millionaire while he died penniless.

See the Colonel didn't believe in the stock market. When his company went public everyone around him bought stock & became millionaires.
