Well, I'm 23. I spent the first years out of HS getting an Associates (I took three years for mine, split it up to where I was considered full time and still worked 40hrs a week) now I'm going to a tech school in West Sacramento and I'll be done the end of March...
Plan to open my own shop on the side while working someplace else...

we did a couple cool things. a 97 power stroke. rebuilt from the frame up, and used burnt orange ryno lining to paint the whole body. and a 67 mustang with a BOSS 302. but it was the unibody crap i couldn't deal with. if i was working with sheet metal and frame over vehicles i'd be all for it.. but unfortunately, a shop like that is hard to come by..

im going into diesel tech. i start school next year. i love wrenching and i love diesels, and i love big trucks. diesel tech pays alot better than auto techs do. and i totally agree on the
The best advice I've EVER heard about life and work:
"If you do what you love for a living, you'll never work a day in your life."
completely true. i have had jobs that werent what i loved to do and i dreaded going to work. it paid and i did the job but didnt enjoy it i worked, not played. i worked at a shop and i loved every minute of it. i was early every day and stayed late. came in when i didnt have to. it was awesome and i found what i love to do. just my 2 cents

i will be going to Cal ploy in San Luis Obispo, California after high school. i aim for a masters degree in mechanical engineering and a bachelors in agriculture.

Hell yeah man I got the same deal. I can't imagine anything else but the country life. It defines who I am and keeps me straight and better than all them city *******s (no offense to none). I am also gettin ready to graduate this year and heading off to college. I am sure of where I am going too! Rose-Hulman. I take it as a great opportunity since they only take 500 freshmen each year. It'll really suck since I won't be able to raise my horse or sheep or nothing. It will all come back. I myself am planning to become a biochemist and have a farm of my own in the works (as well as a few Fords and a pretty girl by my side 
).
