    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.

    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
