I was told by my father nine times a day that you were going to get a job the minute you finish your studies.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was sent to a school because my father was already aware that his days were numbered, and he was anxious for me to acquire a good education and follow in his footsteps.
I knew I wanted considerable education so that I wouldn't have to work as hard as my parents.
In high school, I worked eight hours a day just so I could get into the college of my dreams and say that I got in - and I never went.
My dad always taught me if I have my education, anything is possible.
I was looking for the meaning of life when I was in college. And my deal with my dad was as long as I was taking a full course load, then he would pay. And the times that I wasn't taking a full course load, then I was off the dole and I was working.
And I finished college because I thought how much it would upset my parents if I didn't.
I come from a very working class background. My dad worked in a factory for 40 years. We all put ourselves through school.
I love that my dad has stopped asking me when I'm going to get a real job.
My dad told me, 'It takes fifteen years to be an overnight success', and it took me seventeen and a half years.
My dad worked two jobs his whole life, and so I told him he's the reason I have 20 jobs.
