[QUOTE="Patman, post: 1353558, member: 16962"] How much further? Perhaps you might be better served with a different route if you have higher ambitions. Engineering , Business, PR, .... Really sit back and think about just what you are wanting to do and it might seem like a real PITA to invest the time and $$ in to a more extensive education now but it's a heck of a lot easier than trying to do it after life gets in the way. I seriously considered going to a technical school for auto mechanics when I was in HS. So my mom arranged for me to spend a few days shadowing a local mechanic. After my sweat equity time with him he told me and my mom that I should NOT go to the technical school and should instead focus on an engineering degree because I had a better grasp of mechanical concepts than all but one of the other guys in his shop. This was sort of heartbreaking because I really enjoy mechanics. Well long story short, I sort of followed the advice, and still have a good time working on things. I just get to spend most of my time earning my keep in an air conditioned office or truck and then spending my free time working on the things I want to work on and do it on my schedule. As an added bonus I make a pretty nice living and can afford to give my wife and son a good life. On the flip side I can understand the desire to get in and out of school quickly and do something you see as fun. If you really spend the time reading the links Rich posted though I think will have some good food for thought on just how much effort it will take and how big the "payout" (could be different things to different people) really is.
