I wish I woulda went to college when I got outta high school. but I'm thinking of either going to college to be a diesel mechanic or just go and get my A-Z and drive truck. I dunno yet. I tried the whole mechanic thing when I got outta high school and theres waay to many headaches with new vehicles. so I gave up on it.

i took 2 years off, i didnt go to college right out of highschool.. glad i did it to otherwise i probably would have went crazy..

school makes me sick.. just thinking about it i want to just die. Such a waste of time! I dont get why i have to PAY to take english, math, science, speech, ect.. in college when i just got done taking it for 12 ****nig years in gradeschool.. If im paying for school i want to pay for **** I WANT to take not this bull**** they want us to take.. Everyone tells me to go to a trade school.. but umm most of the Mechanics i see come from ATI or anything at my shop are ****ing idiots... and dont know ****. I learn buy doing not reading a stupid *** book!!

i'm in the army and i go to school. it's a pain in the ***. they make the semsters half as long. 8weeks, which is nice being that i can only take 2 classes a semester. so i can can get 4 classes done in the same time as a 16 week semester. i spent 2 years after highschool at indiana university. it's way to hard to come out of highschool, go to a school like that, and try and make the grades. i wasted a lot of my parents money. not that i didn't get anything accomplished, just not as much as i should have. the credits i earned got my extra rank and more money in the army. good stuff.

anyone military?
