    Lately my job well a guy at my job has been really getting to me and so I'm thinking about going back to school to get my degree to be a certified mechanic. I started schooling when I was 18 but had to drop out to get a full time job to take care of my son that my ex-wife didn't seem to want. Being a mechanic is something I've always wanted to do but I don't want to spend all that money and end up with a lower paying job. Reguardless I'll still be working where I'm at for the next 2 years at least even if I do go back to school but I'm just not sure if it's really worth it. Any input is appreciated, thanks.

    Check out all the aid options before you start to decide if you can make it work or not considering I'm sure your like the rest of us and have bills to pay aswell. I'd start there at least FAFSA I believe offers things for people that are doing a "change of career" to go back to school.

    I'll look into that. I've been thinking about talking to some garages around here to see what the start out pay is.
