:lol: It's very, very doubtful. I'm certainly not stupid, I just seriously don't care about the number system. Nor do I feel like gaming it like I do many other systems.

I can also make a living off of being a handyman anywhere, so, I doubt I'll ever care about having a boss.

Well, it is not like you can start out as a master craftsman from the get-go. Unless you are an entrepreneur, you probably will have to have a boss somewhere along the line.

You mean a boss who was in the exact same position as me?

Yeah, most likely. I'll most likely start a business somewhere. I already have a place spotted out....and know people who own many businesses....

Michigan. I went to a public school, but it was one of the better public schools in the state.

Yeah. Typically, it does because it comes out of the household's disposable income while the government still taxes you for the public school system.

While some scholarship exist for grade school students, most of them are for college students. However, even if you get a scholarship, I do believe that you still pay into the public school system.

Yeah. Technically, here, every French private school is semi-private.

Some schools here are private but receive a little government funding. However, it is so insignificant that the schools are still considered private, although they are not technically. For the most part, it is all or nothing here, mostly because of politics.
