its easy,
get up at 7am
work to noon or 2pm (depending on what day it is),
school from 1 or 3pm to 5 pm,
work again from 6pm to 9 or 10 pm
home by 11 pm
in bed by midnight,
then start it all over again!
Usually I only work half day on saturday and off on sunday. And alot of the time I dont have to work after school.
I agree though, it is tiring. And I'm horrible at time management. but it can be done.
When i'm done with my Auto engineering degree I hope to be ASE master certified (certified in 2 areas allready, will take 2 more tests in 1 month)
have a solid 4 years as a mechanic under my belt, and then my degree in auto engineering
I think i'll be more prone to getting a job than someone who just lived under mommy and daddy's blanket of financial support and partied every other day.
I guess we'll see.
However its odd, I never really pictured myself being the type of person who would be seen as a hard worker, or someone who would be better qualified for something. But the more I work and go to school the more I can see myself becoming this person.
Every time I start to get overwhelmed and want to give up I just look at some of the people I know. One person has filed for bankruptcy twice, and is on his 3rd house.
The other seems to be able to manage his money better, but is obviously living paycheck to paycheck. They both have to tell the tool guys to wait until friday to cash their checks. That is the person I really dont want to be.
Sorry for the rant, but I guess you have to set some outragous goals. I always picture my girlfriend and I living out in the country w/horses and other animals. I would have a heated/a/c machine shed with a hoist, paint booth, and all the other tools that would go along with the setup. I also want to have a F250 or so with a big ol
diesel in it, etc etc. I'm sure most of those goals wont be met, but if I wound up somewhere in the middle I would probably be happy for the rest of my life. And thats what really matters.
