The smartest decision I've ever made in my life was not going to college or university. Have you seen the shit they be turning out lately??

If you say so....4 years before college I was wearing dirty coveralls, toiling away under trucks outside on the oil fields of west texas making less money than I am now (although it was still alot for a mechanic), now I have two bmws, looking to buy my first house, and making about double what I made before school. I wear nice clothes to work and sit in an office managing engineering projects that I take great interest in. I even think about machining when I am not even at work because I love my career.

Getting a degree and serving in the army were the two best things I ever did for myself.

My life is completely different now because of it.

I have no reason to lie about this. If being a mechanic was better to me than being an engineer, why would I say otherwise?
