Mine told me not to bother applying to college because I won't get in. Here I am 50 years later and I am the head of a major corporation and am ahead in life.

I remember seeing a statistic somewhere that marine engineers have one of the highest suicide rates of any profession. It sticks out in my mind because it seems like such an odd profession to have such high suicide rates.

that is odd, I only know a couple of them but they get paid to dive nice places in the Caribbean and tell other people how to actually make the docks

seems awesome
