COLLEGE And Growing

[SlikWiLL13]

Yeah, because, of course, there are no "real jobs" in the world that need a degree in botany, plant biology, horticulture, etc.

so get a job in one of those fields and grow on the side. basing your whole lifes plan on growing ganja is just plain dumb. and theres nothing your going to learn in college about growing that you cant learn right here on the internet while still learning a valuable skill/trade.

just what the world needs, more plant/marine biologists

 

[Double0verhead]

woah woah woah dont bring marine biologists into this

 

[doitinthewoods]

haha, if you're really interested in the outdoors, there is nothing wrong with going in to forestry, it's not the best paying job in the world, but I know plenty of people who support families as forest rangers, and they do fine. You would learn a lot from those types of classes. They aren't going to be specified towards growing marijuana, but the general knowledge is there.

these are the classes you would take for forestry at the local community college :

The A-levels i took were - chemistry, philosophy, psychology and english language, although most of them dont apply to growing weed (i say most as chemistry is actually pretty handy) they are pretty easy lessons to pass if your high (except chem)(i got 3 As and 1 A* by the way) then at uni you have all options open for you, i ended up doing a bachalers in the philosophy of physics and at the moment im doing a masters in theoretical chem! i would advice picking cources you enjoy, because if you dont you aint gonna have a fun time!

What reward do you get out of trying to crush a man's dream?

serioulsy?!? get ready for this one....there is no santa clause, your mamas got all them baby teeth, and dreams are for people without the drive and vision to actually go out and make shit happen.

No one mentioned santa clause, I have my own baby teeth, and every great accomplishment started as a dream.

A journy of a thousand miles starts with a single step, and you're just trying to stick your foot out and trip the guy. Stop being a douche.

To the OP:

Pursue your dream, but have a fall back plan and think of other ways to use the skills you'll learn.
