Re:I need your guys opinions please
 
damn im all for you dropping college and going to wyotech because I just dont like the fact of going to college for three more years than you have to. Im going to chattahooche Tech to get my auto technician degree and then get ASE certified (1year of schooling only) work for honda and various other car makers save a little money to open my own shop and to build a prof. drag car. These are my plans you can do what you like but if it was up to me ill work on cars and own a automotive business the rest of my life.

Yeah but how did you get there? Did you know someone who got you in than climbed the ladder?

On the job training. That's what I did. I started off as a 16 year old drugee with no car. Now I'm second highest at my company and drive the most expensive company truck. 8) I get more work done than other crews of 2 by myself.

There is no way I could sit at a desk everyday and do paperwork. Where is the thrill in that? How ------- boring would life be? My handwriting sucks anyways. ::) I hate going to the same place everyday for work. If I have to drive to the same spot more than a week at a time, I get pissed. I need variety. Who wants to see the same scenery day after day? :-\

My boss saw that I had mad skills washing cars, so he knew what was up ;)

The only thing is if I go to WyoTech, get a job working on cars and get sick of it for some reason, I wont have anything to fall back on. So I dont know, why the hell does this have to be so difficult >:(

Go to college unless you absolutely love cars. Its better to be caked up and not have time to play than play all the time and have no dough....feel me??

Stay in college. These days it doesn't matter what degree you have. The important thing is that you have one. If you have a degree in basket weaving, you will have shown that you can be taught, and that's all companies want to know anyway. Trade schools have always sucked, and probably always will. Stay in college. ;)

This is a classic "does the man make the money or the money make the man" thread. I know plenty of people without college degrees who make good money, couple of them are millionaires. On the other hand, you'll never get anywhere in corporate America without a degree. It just depends on what you like to do. If you are self motivated and you aren't interested in the degrees you're thinking of pursuing, you would probably be happier and possibly make more money pursuing an interest in cars. If you want to climb the corporate ladder, you need a degree. Period. But I can't really see how you'd be happy doing that. :-\ IMO being happy with your job=way more money than somebody who is only in it for the pay.

This is very true, even if I didnt make as much money working on cars, I think I still would be happier. I'd rather be excited to go to work every day rather than making more money and hating my job. This is such a hard decision though, I wish i knew what the hell to do :-\
