Here on Earth
|
IMDB rating: 4.50 Plot: The lives of three young people – a rich student, a girl from the “wrong side of the tracks” and her boyfriend – unexpectedly intersect during one fateful summer in the romantic drama “Here on Earth.” Kelley Morse (Chris Klein), who is cocky and brash, normally would never have crossed paths with the residents of a small town near his posh private school. But when he takes his shiny new Mercedes out for a drive, he locks horns with some of the locals, including Jasper (Josh Hartnett). As Jasper’s willful girlfriend Samantha (Leelee Sobieski) looks on, Kelley and Jasper engage in a dangerous car race that turns disastrous, leaving a popular diner owned by Samantha’s mother in ruins. Kelley and Jasper are sentenced to a creatively ironic but fitting punishment: They must help rebuild the diner. Not only does this ruin Kelley’s summer plans, he also must board at the home of his rival, Jasper. Kelley begins to fulfill his “sentence,” but refuses to have anything to do with Jasper and his parents. When Kelley again encounters Samantha, the attraction is immediate and strong. First love blossoms in the Berkshire woods (”a little bit of heaven, here on earth,” Samantha calls the pastoral setting), angering Jasper, who has known Samantha practically his entire life. These new feelings and the romantic triangle that develops are only the beginning of a new journey for Kelley, Samantha and Jasper, as they ultimately make life-changing discoveries about themselves and each other. |

Truth be told you don’t need a degree to be successful! college was all about socializing, however it does prepare you for whatever type of work you want.
I do have an engineering degree and college did help me with that! You can’t be an engineer nor get paid engineering money if you don’t have that piece of paper (degree)… so figure out what you want to do, and then consider do I really need that piece of paper.
Seriously the cost of college vs. the rewards sometimes is not worth it if what you want to do is not a professional career.
Talk to a guidance councelor dude… she could help you out. But basically if you want to be paid the big bucks get a degree in something that you like and pays the big bucks. But for example you can make a very decent living joining the Armed forces… they pay extremely well, feed you and give you money for clothes and housing and you don’t really need a degree for it! So figure out what you want to do and go for it! But in the case of if you want to join the Armed forces it makes no sense to go to college spend the money and then join the armed forces… be smart about it!
That’s it good luck pal!
