He raised an eyebrow. "Of course it is. But your other alternative is to work as a farmer, or some other common, untrained laborer. Your parents ever tell you 'Don't be a loser, or you will end up working at 'some business' for the rest of your life and be a real loser?' That is exactly true here. You put some work into it, you will get a lot of reward later. And you probably haven't noticed, but we aren't back home. All those classes you were taking from school really aren't going to help that much. They will help some, math is good to know, keeps you from getting cheated, history will give you an idea of things tried and failed or tried and worked, et cetra."<br/><br/>He gave him a shrug. "Of course, you don't have to decide now, but the more you learn to use your ability, the more things you will be able to do with it. And honestly, you are going to get food, clothing, and shelter while you are with me, so why not use it. The place where I live doesn't have much else to do."
