My parents were the same way, but I'm glad they forced me to go to college, at least. At the time it felt like a waste of time, and I had to take a job clerking in a warehouse when I got out because there were no jobs, but I was lucky to have met the person who got me that job, because within four years I was an engineer. I couldn't have done that without an education and a ton of luck.
