ack, i almost missed this, damn school
anyway, I have a thought on it as I was thinking of this the other day and actually wrote this out on paper about my gay friends. I have 18 ppl I consider close that are gay and another 25 that are on a first name basis with (including ex's). It's a small sample, but the ones I know that didn't drop out of high school, that are done University, are all doing really well and living very comfortably with great jobs. The other ones are struggling big time. But there's no middle ground, out of 43 ppl, none of them are just doing ok, it's feast or famine. Now that may seem obvious, that you won't do as well when you drop out, but it's interesting that drawng a line on this paper of the people I know (ranging in age 19-48) the ones who stuck with school advanced quickly at work and all of them are are making decent coin and the other ones just can't get their lives together.
As far as children, I'd love to adopt one or two one day, I mean there are enough people growing up without a loving home that I know I could give (with the right mate though).
