Im 30 now And every week I look at my college admin records CAuse in 98 I was signed up for the exact same classes i am now but dropped cause my uncle offered me a job paying 15 an hour That was probably one of my worst mistakes. and seeing it does keep me focused


As for being a mechanic There are so many people out there that look down on the proffession its crazy. Many people think its just a bunch of college drop outs and ex cons Im not sure where that comes from either
I just Love the work I dont mind the grease dont mind the back aches and so on When you start an engine up that you fixed and it purrs its just music to my ears

I was a roofer/construction worker made good money hated it
worked in warehouses made good money hated it
was a chef for 5 years or so didnt make crap but loved it just needed a little more income
mechanics is where im at now Me and a few buddys are triing to find some shop space and start small low overhead and hopefully make something of our selves

id love to start a speed shop with my brother. he is a mechanic and i know a lot more about tuning and the electronics side of cars than he does. he can make it work and i can make it work well. although with a speed shop id need a few lifts and a dyno, so it wouldnt be cheap to start.

speed shop start up your looking at around 150-200k to start and have run well But in the long run that aint bad we are looking at something with a 50-75k start up if i sell one of my properties

off to class ditched outt enough this week

i worked around 30 hours a week while i was in school and made it out in 4.

Stick with it. I slacked and skipped, and now I'm regretting it. I'm looking at graduating next spring instead of last spring... Two years wasted. That's a lot of money wasted and even more lost by not having the $50k+ job I wanted. Instead, I'm still making squat working at a parts store while I scrimp and save just to survive and go to class.

Going to boring classes sucks and sleep is great when you stay in bed until noon, but I promise you will regret not going every day you don't have that degree.

Its not that bad that im thinking of dropping Id actually feel better if i was working as well as going to school
The trans/diffs class instructor offered c-yas today Basically you get a C grade to leave But then i wont learn sh1t

The thing is I loved going to school up until a week ago I mean i enjoy learning then this week i felt drained
Maybe its all the gloomy weather getting me down too
today the teacher in math postponed the test till tue and the trans class only lasted 2 hours so wasnt bad lol
