What did your high school guidence councilor say you should do?

Noboundaries,

Submariners get better food than the rest of the navy?

That's the scuttlebutt. It was good whenever I was on the sub for the short 3-4 days. Saw it later too when I was a nuke officer recruiter and took potential officer candidates on tours of the boomers and fast attack boats. The food was phenomenal my last cruise on the nuke Enterprise. The O's gave up all their food allowance to the mess and the tech reps were paying 4 times the food allowance of an LCDR. The food was almost inedible on my oil burning Kitty Hawk cruise.

I was a Corpsman and some of the best food I ever had was from the mess hall at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Pt., NC.  Those jarheads knew how to cook!

The councilor at our high school was too busy trying to figure out how to hide an affair with the principal to really do much advising. They've been married and divorced since then because they cheated on each other during their marriage. Who would have seen that coming?

My adviser my freshman year in college went a long way toward trying to correct that. I told him I wanted to teach high school science (love science) and coach baseball/basketball. He suggested strongly that I choose a different career path. I should have listened probably. Once I did my first round of intern teaching I went to his office and apologized for failing to heed his advice. I ended up with a double bachelors in chemistry and biology that I don't use in any practical career application. I passed up a full ride engineering scholarship at the University of Tulsa so that I could get my teaching degree which made sense to 17 year old me.

It's all worked out okay though. I apprenticed to be a manufacturing jeweler with my dad and we have a lot of fun traveling the country to shows. Pretty sure itinerant jeweler wasn't one of the options on the list of career choices in high school anyway but that's where I've ended up.

I don't recall ever visiting a HS counselor, if we even had one. M'kay? We did take a standardized aptitude test, though. I think mine came out somewhere between janitor and bricklayer.

I have two college degrees, and for the last 15 years I have been a legal assistant for a large county prosecutor's office, and very happy in my work.

I do recall that our vice-principal was rumored to be messing around with some of the female students. My senior year, one of the girl's fathers came in and gave him a good shiner.

I'm to old I guess, we didn't have one back then.
