    Well I havent finished my first but I dont have the money to switch now...

    And I always wanted to do mechanical engineering but made the mistake of changing my major and school my freshman year and my school now doesnt offer engineering. So I will be going back to school after I graduate to get the degree I should have got in the first place.

    An expensive lesson to learn but it should pay out in the long run

    Good luck on the job situation & test, and hopefully you won't have to have surgery. It sucks, or rather recovery does as I'm discovering lol. Try to have some down time in all that mess.

    Howdy, have fun out there!

    All jokes aside, if you're a good or specialty welder or happen to be in the right place at the right time, the pay is potato.

    Truth right there.

    It always pays out. You'll always regret not going back and never regret going back to school for what you want to do. Can't stress this enough.

    It's taken me forever to get my CHEE degree but the light at the end of the tunnel is growing larger and brighter. Have about a year and a half left and I'll have my degree along with a Petroleum Engineering minor. Like I said, it's taken forever but I've never ever thought it wouldn't be worth it in the end.

    Nah
    Yeah thats kinda how I was looking at it. Ill have to shell out about 57k but at the end of those three years ill have the degree I want and a huge job market ahead of me. Plus at age 26 ill have 2 degrees and once I start working id love to go back for a masters in Physics

    Open heart surgery seems to be pretty routine nowadays. Obviously not very routine for the patient, but the Docs do it all the time.

    Whoa damn. Not what I was expecting.

    Money is fluid. Realistically, finding a happy medium of a desired career and earning the money you want, isn't. That's permanent.

    Now is a hell of a time to get on that if you don't mind the travel.
