Near St. Joseph Mo. and Linneus Mo. | For starters get a secondary education. Something mechanical sounds like it would be down your line. My son is going into a tool and die program. He's really excited about it. I also told him to take a few business classes and get good at cad and excell. All of those things will help him in farming and other areas of employment.
Don't go broke going to school. Get out with as little debt as possible. Don't rely solely on your parents for help.
A saying I always tell my children is " labor is the title deed to property." if you work for it "it" will mean more to you. He got a scholarship for basketball that will pay a small portion of his schooling but mostly he wants to build things.
Don't think going to some big name school is the best way. Find a junior college and gain technical expertise. When I went to college I waited till the last year to start farming. That let me get above average grades and I came out ready to hit the ground running.
Remeber farming is still capital and labor intensive. Being in college takes money and time. 2 things you need if your going to farm. Best of fortunes to you in whatever you do. |
