School sucks and skiing doesn't

sitting in class waiting for the time to tick down. that's the best part of the day. knowing the weekend is coming so you can head to the mountains.
 
Yesterday I woke up and looked outside my window. My early morning eyes made the image of a snow covered road outside. I thought to myself "Its break time". I went back to sleep dreaming of the rest of my fun day in the snow. I woke up to the cruel reality of 40-50 degree weather and a grassy yard. I had already missed the bus, so I hit my summer setup all day.
 
My favorite part of the week is Friday night when I get to hit the park with the homies, but the worst part of my week is last class on Friday when I'm counting down the minutes until 2:50 then I'm free and I can shred the hill

I quit highschool after a graduated, now I've been skiing everyday of the season since. no school for me
 
Always wondered how good of a student I would be if I spent as much time on school work as I do on this site/ skiing.. Guess I'll never know lol
 
School will gst you somewhere in life if you half ass it, skiing will most likely do nothing but provide fun if you go 100%. Work hard in school so you have enough income to ski where and when you want. Simple

Its more like:

Skiing can get you somewhere, but it'll be about 300% as hard to get anywhere meaningful than it would be doing school.

I dropped out of university after a year and a half to try to be a pro skier. Failed at that, ended up working at Newschoolers. Rest is history.

However, that span between dropping out of Uni and now is pretty fucking gnarly.

Skiing will make you happy

A good education will make you rich

Not as clear as that. Skiing is a rich sport, so those who get really ridiculously rich tend to end up skiing.

Statement couldnt be any farther from the truth. Go to any school and you will meet kids who spend tens of thousands to study art history and make 30k a year. STEM kids don't necessarily become rich. Becoming rich is a combination of luck and skill. I know a kid who graduated Warton with honors had a ton of elite banking offers and now sells weed in NYC as a delivery guy. Though he makes 50k cash a year which isn't to bad
