As someone who is paying his own way working 40 hours a week, on top of my 22 hours a week at school, being exempt from some mindless corps activities would benefit me and my time spent greatly. I appreciate the words of encouragement, but I would rather seek out some advice I could possibly use”
I’m glad to see there is no shortage of assholes in the pipeline.
