No offense intended, Ruben, but I take umbrage with anybody counseling any brother to forgo as much credited education as he can possibly accrue and still be productive. I heard that from my own BA degreed father and his blue-collar brothers as a kid. He was one of the least productive and definitely least godly among 10 kids, but because he had the degree and was a jolly drunk, he excelled them all in income. They were painters and plumbers and electricians and factory workers who in those days experienced an opulent lifestyle by global standards, but those days are gone, their retirements stolen, and trying to make it on social security and part-time Wal-Mart type jobs. Who would wish that on their own brethren?
Maybe I'm just stressing, so I'll apologize for the 'vigorous' language and move on.
