Yes - I had a double major in pre-law and political science. Took sociology and psychology for electives so that I had enough credits to sit for the social work exam.

Continental. And cool man. Aviation is a small group. You hanging in there job wise right now? If you even have a job right now you're fortunate. Bunch of my buddies are furloughed from the airlines and lay off from other areas, even medicine.

I work harder than anyone else on this board. My parents and I own a dairy farm in Western NY, milking 300 cows and have 2700 acres of alfalfa, corn (silage and grain), buckwheat, soybeans, and wheat. Soon enough it will no longer be "my parents and I" but just I.

Picture is from June of 2005.

Interesting, I worked for a 300 plus head dairy farm in western Ny (Eden) I worked there for 6 years while in school, I wish I had that fun loving job back! Here here to the HVAC guy,(those guys have it rough) and he is right you have no clue When doing farming we all think its the hardest job out there, Once you leave the familly farm you will understand how easy you have it! There are much harder and more physically demanding jobs then you have seen. Try being a roofer or steamfitter, maybe a boilermaker, how about a linesmen?
