I am a lifegaurd right now, and hopefully by next summer I can complete another course to work in lakes and beaches Will be turning 20 in August.

Hopefully I will have saved enough to buy a nice 4x4 truck and make the girlfriend happy too because she has to deal with me lol

I am a student at San Jose State for civil egineering (hydrology) but may take some classes on machining and welding if that doesnt work out for me.
