- Graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelors in Communication and Minor in Business
- I was hired as the Marketing Manager for a major marketing firm and started two days after graduating. Four months later I became the Director of Marketing.
- I am a respected and award-winning member of the automotive enthusiast community.
- I have a very large circle of friends comprised of a mixture of public-, private-, and homeschooled individuals.
- I was homeschooled not for religious reasons, but because the school district I lived in at the time was the definition of failure.
- While I was homeschooled, I ran my business. I started it at age 13. The foundation for my sneaker collection and show cars came from the money I made running that business.
Point is, never base your conclusion about an entire demographic by your experience with one or two individuals, or what is portrayed in the media. That's called generalization, and we all know where that leads...it's the basis for discrimination, racism, sexism...the list goes on. Just because you had the misfortune of meeting a homeschooler that is apparently clueless, don't think that all homeschoolers are sheltered, hopelessly nerdy knuckleheads with a penchant for damning anyone who doesn't hold their identical religious beliefs. People like that come from all backgrounds, regardless of the way they received their education.
This concludes my soapbox moment...

Well sorry to burst your bubble but you are bragging. Everyone is not fortunate to be homeschooled (I wouldn't want to be. I learned more in a public school environment than you can ever learn in a home). Its a very expensive process and it seems that you come from a well off family for you not to go to a school in a failing district to pay for tutors year round.

Actually, my family barely scraped by sometimes. We were anything but well off. And there were no tutors involved...my parents were my teachers.

I stay in contact with most of the homeschooled friends that I had, and yes there are a few who didn't go very far, but that could be said forany group of people. Win some, lose some. But here is a list of occupations held by some of my homeschooled friends:Originally Posted by r33p04s
