How are you? Enjoying some quiet time after graduating from school? It was nice to receive your letter and knowing the coandrum whether to join a college or start a job. I suggest starting a job will be a prudent choice for you at this stage of your career. Having known you closely for years, you come across as a very hands-on person having practical view of the affairs. Being honest, you were not much of a studious kid, you passed through school with average grades. You didn’t demonstrate much liking to the academics.
You have always mesmerised me with your abilites to do amazing stuff with hardware tools, repairing cars and making furniture. Also I am aware of your intent to start earning and be financial independent as soon as possible. It is imperative that you put your talents to productive use and monetise them, you may want to start a job. If you think about joining a college, be mindful it has a long learning curve and turn-around time before you start earning anything significant.
You can make a start by working as a help in some super store like Walmart. I believe you can turn out to be a great mechanic, carpenter or a handyman with little efforts. It is imperative that you put your talents to productive use and monetise them, you may want to start a job.
