[QUOTE="IronSnake, post: 15945570, member: 46336"] I love y'all SVTp homies. But some of your replies are dissertations lol. I'll make mine simple. 18 years old I said I'm not going to college. Started full time at a dealership. By 20 I was making about 40-45k. A friend convinced me to give college a try so I started at community college. Got the General Ed's out of the way. Transferred to a great four year institution, got my bachelors in 3, beat the bushes locally and found someone to hire me out of college. I bounced around and developed my skills as a technician while searching for a full time career. Couple years later and a few failed careers, I became a service adviser at Ford to pay the bills and started making 80-90k. Except I was miserable. Two months later, I get a call from the company i'm with now. I was referred by someone who knew me thru the dealership. I took a pay cut, but the hours and benefits are tremendously better. And this is truly a "Career". I've been here for 2 years and can say it's the best decision I've made. Other than my wife. Not to mention, while all of the hot mess turmoil, failed jobs, failed careers, failed aspirations were going on, I continued to push myself as a tech/mechanic. Now I make killer side money while drinking beer in the garage. It's all in how you spin things man. The last thing I'd expect four years ago when I graduated was I'd be where I am, getting married, having a house, being so well known locally as a good wrench, and just everything. If you push yourself, you can pretty much do anything. [/QUOTE]
