aahhh…treeware news magazines. i remember them. my last fondest memory was the Enquirer with the photo of the Clintons meeting the space aliens on the white-house steps.
grandson’s baby-mama got a job pole-dancing. now a school-teacher with a master’s, working on her education doctorate. sharp cookie, her. zero student debt.

i agree to most of your comment, i racked up 17 1/2 years sea time over 21 years, very straining. but after my wife hit 4 bouts of cancer, and me volunteering for Hep-C cure experiments, our total medical bill for the last 31 years has been about $204 (daily room cleaning charge, at NMCP). and yeh, we can still go Space-A and stay at Hale Koa. just don’t go on a C-5, that is one cold bird.
join the military. if you qualify, college is on Sam. if not, your technical training is free, and you still get free tuition for college if you want it. if you decide to stay, your pay is good, your medical is free for life, and lots of other “forever” perks. (think: travel on any military flight anywhere in the free world, for free—hawaii every winter. wholesale groceries. zero cost pharmacy.) and a couple grand a month just to keep breathing.
