    Keep in mind, once you leave the parents nest, have to pay multiple bills and deal with the shit life throws at you for no reason.. you're gonna wish you just got the 4x4 when you had the means. Seriously. Just my 2 cents.
    Now why didn't I take my own advice.....oh well.

    Truth. Took me nearly 5 years post college to get situated enough financially to afford this most expensive freaking hobby in the world, lol. So what if I'm delaying my retirement savings another year or so.... :facepalm:

    Just kidding....kinda.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    All them tabs man. :boink:
    You had to learn it somehow? :thumbsup:
    :rofl:
    That's why I took my tailgate off, a bit harder to back up (at first) but you get over not having that crutch pretty quick. Now I wish I had a means to move the camera up by the 3rd brake light... that'd be AWESOME.

    That thought has crossed my mind, which also has led me to debate a getting a 2nd gen regular cab 4x4 4cyl. Great gas which I'm sure future me will appreciate, newer car, & loads of fun :D
    Y'all are scaring me, I'm not even halfway through college :boink:

    Well...keep in mind, I chose a career in the creative/arts field. Not the easiest to make a living in, lol. Not saying others are, but some definitely have better opportunities starting out than others.

    I was fortunate that I networked well enough in school to get off to a good start in my freelance career post-college. Did the freelance thing for a few years and did pretty well at it, but that life is just too stressful to maintain for me. Getting a full-time gig in house was the best thing I could've done for myself, steady paycheck FTW!

    Do whatever you possibly can in-school to get ready for job hunting afterward. Network, intern...whatever it takes. It'll put you ahead of the game when the time comes to jump in with both feet

    Networking (both TCP/IP and between people :laughing:) is a huge part of being successful in ANY field. Massive +1 to Ryan's comment. Make friends who know people.

    Definitely agree with you guys there,
    Networking networking networking
    Honestly a part of me can't wait for school to start up again so I can get back to that. Hell if I wasn't going to school id have a job at luxury car dealership thanks to networking :D
